Lindsey Mears

Lindsey is a long time participant in Craftacular.  This year she brings you her beautiful leather goods.  Lindsey says, "All my leather goods are made without a sewing machine. I use hand tools like a knife, awl and needles to create my bracelets and satchels from start to finish. My slow crafting, especially of the bags, lets me take time to secure each stitch and detail, to make high quality, timeless pieces."  Her work is unique and beautiful!
