While my wrist heals (after making the blue basket -- I should have waited!)
I cut out some leather roses and have started working with them.

The caramel colored one is thin leather with a hard glossy finish. It wouldn't take moulding. The brown one is softer and thicker, so it moulded perfectly.

I found the instructions on how to make these online at http://abigailscraftshowto.com/2010/04/how-to-make-moulded-leather-flowers/
They are fun to make if you like flowers. I used the same pattern to make two felt flowers.
