About Andrea Engineer, Leathersmith and Leather Enthusiast

A little about me.  I was born and raised in Ohio, currently living in California. My journey into leatherworking began unexpectedly a few years ago when I discovered leather tools and immediately fell in love with the craft. As a mother of two boys passionate about trapshooting, I sought to integrate used shotgun shells into my newfound hobby. After experimenting with various riveting techniques, I successfully incorporated fired primers into my creations, adding a unique and authentic touch that you will not find elsewhere.
