Heh heh. I can so relate when it comes to my business Art of the Wood. I stand solidly on the ground that I am a craftsman, taking wood and turning it into any manner of different product. I work with ARTISTS to put their work in wood. Many friends and my S.O. Ginger_Rose insist I am an artist. I can see where they are coming from, but I still relegate myself to no more than Artistic Craftsman.
You on the other hand I would say lean more towards the artistic. You are taking the colours you have, experimenting with changes, at times changing the grooves/cuts in the leather. So you may have some repetition, but from what I have seen of your work, you can and do make changes on the fly because you feel it is right for that piece you are working on. And that is what I call art.
And on & on I babble. I look forward to seeing your next new creation. :)
