You may be familiar with Kara Ginther’s leatherwork from her Flickr photostream or other blog posts. When we saw her leather saddle art on Flickr we wanted one of our own for the “wallbike collection.”

Kara had already posted pictures of one saddle in this “Artifact” style. I asked for this B.17S model to be done in the same style. Kara says Artifact “tries to recreate the look of chipped pottery, worn tiles, dense patterns and glimpses of brilliant hues.” The distressed effect added to the challenge.
