Testimonial, Saw Sheath

Hi Fallon
Good morning and best wishes

Please see attached sheath, loaded and ready to work

Thanks again, and best regards

Testimonial: Map, Norlansjord

https://www.fosterleathercraft.com/2019/12/map-norlansjord.html

Dude. The map is amazing. I broke down and gave it to my DM tonight and he legitimately shed a few tears. You're stuff is amazing, thank you so very much!!!! I can't leave a review until Dec 23rd but it'll be five stars!!

Testimonial: Greyhound Guitar Strap

Note: These each came in a couple minutes apart.


"IT IS BEAUTIFUL"



"I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and keeping me updated. The dog hairs are a perfect touch too; he just wanted to contribute!"
(Our dog Max contributed several hairs to the stitching on the guitar strap 😁)


"I'm going to get a good picture and post a review today I hope. Thank you, again. He loves it!"

Testimonial: Shoulder Pad

Shoulder Pads are usually pretty routine but what isn't routine is getting such a nice letter from the client!  The client was a 70 year old postal carrier who's vintage mail bag was getting unmanageable.  I was able to get his pad in the mail within a day or two so he'd receive it as quickly as possible.

 

Shoulderstrap arrived this afternoon and l couldn’t be happier with it. As the photo shows, even the color is a good match. This will make all the difference in what I can carry, and that’s important to me. Important too is that you expedited the order once you knew how badly I needed it. Think of putting me on your mailing list; it’s been a pleasure doing business with you and I would be eager to be your customer in the future.

Testimonial: Farrenmore Map

I just heard back on the Farrenmore map!

FALLON, you absolutely outdid yourself! I received the Farrenmore piece in the mail today and I am still in awe. I knew I was excited before and I had high expectations but my gosh you have set a bar higher than I ever imagined. It's absolutely GORGEOUS and perfection at its finest.

I had W open the box and it was such an emotional unveiling. Like, think about those viral videos of when a dad is gifted his favourite car from the 40's kind-of emotions. We both cried. I just need you to realize your work has the power to bring these emotions out of people and its a beautiful gift. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us. This is something we will hold close to our hearts for forever more.

A million thanks,
F and W

Range Card Holster and Belt

Another Range Card Holster for a motorcycle instructor in the states.  The client opted not to add any personalization but they did throw in a nice little belt to hold the holster over their clothes.

I got a glowing message back once they received their order:
Good Morning Fallon,

I opened my range card holster and belt last night and they are PERFECT!!!

My husband is impressed that my range cards no longer fall out of the holster as the pouch is a little deeper and sturdier than my flimsy holster. I will not miss the teaching days when I would bend over to pick up cones on the range only to re-bend to pick up my cards 3 dozen times in a day. :-) And Fallon, I LOVE the quality, plain leather...you definitely provided the classy look that I was seeking.

With regard to the belt, I was a little off on my measurements (strictly my fault) so I am using the smallest hole setting and have a large "tail" but the range card holster clips over the "tail" nicely, keeping everything in place, so I think it will be fine for now. If the leather stretches, I might order another belt in a smaller size but obviously, I would rather have the belt too big than too small. Again, absolutely LOVE the belt buckle and the medium weight of the belt.

Fallon, I can't emphasize how happy I am with your work and even more impressed that you were able to capture my desire at a distance. It has been a tremendous pleasure to work with you! I am looking forward to teaching in a few weeks and displaying my new items.

Thank you again for everything!

She even ordered another, shorter belt right after sending that. 😁

Testimonial: Guitar Strap, Ontario

I received this message about the last guitar strap I shipped.  Just made my morning!

"My wife just gave me the guitar strap you made (The Hip, hockey stick, SRV, etc). I think it's probably the nicest thing I own. You did an outstanding job and I just wanted to thank you."

Testimonial: Shoulder Pad

"Thanks #fosterleathercraft on Etsy for this shoulder strap pad. This #starwarsdooneyandbourke was a gift and as amazing quality as it is, the paint on the shoulder strap is peeling a little. This should help protect it and the color looks great on it! They also have great customer service. Thanks again! #starwarspurse"

Testimonial: Sumo's Collar

Just heard from Sumo's human about his new collar.  Sounds like he's enjoying it!

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for making Sumo a new collar. It looks awesome and he no longer needs to feel like he's being choked by a collar that's too small! It was hard to find something that fit a 200+ lb dog with a 28" neck. I am so impressed with this! Thank you again so much. I will recommend you to everyone I know!"

Review: PHB Dice Cup

The latest recipient of a PHB Dice Cup was shiny enough to post a very kind review on their blog.  They included lots of nice, new pictures to boot!

Testimonial: Austin Neighborhood Map

This map -almost- arrived in time for the 25th & it's lovely to hear back on the how it was received!

http://www.fosterleathercraft.com/2016/12/map-of-austins-neighborhoods.html
The map arrived today and it is spectacular. My husband adores it. Thank you so much, Fallon. I'll be sure to write a glowing review as soon as Etsy will allow. Thanks again!

Testimonial: Jester Dice Cup

I got this today from the client who ordered the Jester Dice Cup:

The cup arrived today, and I could not be more thrilled with it. Thank you so much for helping me refine ideas, and for executing them so beautifully!
My only problem is that I think I have to make Thanksgiving into a gift-giving occasion, because I don't think I can wait until Christmas :)

Testimonial for the DM Binder Prototype

This came during the dark times between having the internet disconnected and getting it reconnected at the new house.  I like hearing back from clients after they've had a chance to try out their orders and this is one I was particularly curious about.  Definitely going to be adding something similar to the store's stock.

http://www.fosterleathercraft.com/2016/03/d-tome-of-binding.html

"Totally forgot to message you when I got the binder. It's absolutely amazing and the players like it to.
Thanks very much, very happy with the product."

Testimonial: Dragon Map

I always love hearing back from clients after they receive their order.  Anecdotally it seems like I hear back about 10% of the time.  I think this is the first time I've gotten a blog post back though:

http://runkleplaysgames.com/2016/02/04/crafting-a-world-from-scratch-to-fosters-leathercraft

The client had some exceedingly nice things to say that just made my whole morning.  He also gives an interesting summary of how such an excellent map came into existence in the first place.  I got a lot from this project and I'm looking forward to applying that to more maps in the future.  If I could just carve fantasy maps all day long I'd probably be pretty content with life.

Action Shots: Lara Croft Cosplay

The client who ordered the Lara Croft backpack was awesome enough to send me some pictures she took at DragonCon.  That cosplay sure seems to have come out pretty awesomely!  Well done!

Action Shot: Motorcycle Toolbox

Just got some pictures from my brother-in-law of the Toolbox on his bike.  Looking good!

Testimonial

This came in last night concerning one of the shoulder straps I'd sent out recently.  It's always great to hear from a client after they've received their order.  It's just extra great when they have something like this to say:

    Just got the strap today - something I will cherish for many years I'm sure! Great work, you are very talented ... Now I just need to find some more bags for you to make straps for!

Klingon Belt Pouch Action Shot

I just got back an action shot of one of the Klingon Belt Pouches with the client's full Klingon costume.  Looking pretty good!

Testimonial: Wallet Lanyard

It's always nice hearing from clients once they've gotten their orders but this just made my day.

Wow! This is one beautiful piece sir. I love it! It's exactly what I wanted. I didn't want anything too showy -- low key, but well made was the plan. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and custom touches. Your workmanship is superb sir!
