if anyone knows where to get bullfrog I'd also be very interested to hear which tanneries, I don't think Crack carries it.


As Tony G.

When he was with Edward Green he had some bullfrog leather samples in his portfolio.
(Can't remember, if he actually did turn the leather into shoes, either as a sample or for a client.)

My friend had a date with this girl who was into DIY tanning and she said that she uses this specific process where she smothers the hide in rat brains for a certain amount of time. Has anybody heard of this, or is this chick just a psychopath?

Brain tanning has become somewhat of a home hobby craze. But how many rat brains would it take?

No idea yet. I got to snap these in the 20 minutes between getting the kid a snack upon arriving home and then having to go play. Going to check the feel here in an hour or so once he's asleep.
