Here's our "Buffalo Skin". It's really goat rawhide. He was an Afghani buffalo I guess. We're going to make two books out of it. It's in the bathtub because we had to dampen it and lay it flat. Originally we were going to burn pictographs into it to tell a story, but the lady at Leatherworks said it would be more authentic to use vegetable dyes and paint the story that way. We got a hole punch and lacing so they can sew it up when they're done, and we'll use beet juice and strong coffee for the paint.

The picture sort of looks like somethings stomach, instead of its hide. Sounds like a fun project. Hope the kids really get into it.
