Flash Back in Time!

Note from the Editor….
The Newsletter “Canadian Leathercraft” is your source of information about CSCL and its members. Also check out the CSCL website at www.canadianleathercraft.org and CSCL’s Facebook page.

I am always looking for articles for the Newsletter, do you have a project that you have done that you think everyone would be interested in seeing, we are looking for articles?

This issue I am looking back in time to some of the magazines published in the 1970’s for projects.

Highlights from the Past Executive Council Meetings….

At our September meeting we discussed how the virtual Zoom AGM went. We had some suggestion and the Fellows are going to review how the judging went and what can be improved.

At our October meeting we had a guest, Kristi Cino from Tundra Leather talking about what is happening and what is new in her store in Hamilton. Della Chynoweth sent some sea leather fish skins to the President of each branch and we encourage members from the branches to come up with ideas to use the leather. Visit Sea Leather Wear’s web site for ideas. Contact your President for further details. Lauren Malac has the skins for MAL’s and you can contact her for one.

At our November meeting we discussed the possibility of having Zoom training courses. Stay tuned for more info on that.

SEE – What Can You do with Scraps of Leather
From Making It with Leather October-November 1974}

^{We extend our sympathy to the Chynoweth Family and the Norland Branch on the sudden passing of Phyllis McHale (nee Chynoweth) in September. Phyllis had been a very active member for many years until poor health slowed her down.}

Shown in the Make It with Leather June-July 1976

^{Hanging Plant}

Tandy had a kit available for this plant hanger but you could use your imagination and come up with your own design. A great way to use up scraps of leather.

Some projects that Jim Wilkes just finished. Way to go.

From the Craftsman Volume XIV Number 4 May-June 1970

	Tool Tip The stamp tool Veiner 406 gives a floral design with a different look – ripple-edged daisies.  A single petal requires two impressions and a Seeder347 is a nice disc for the daisy flower centre.  Easy to grow!
