Gotcha! I have the same off cuts laying about in various pull ups and sundry hides. It’s an excellent idea for embellishment!
The Minolta was my dad’s that he had bought when I was a kid and I found it when he was moving a couple of years ago. Like with the leatherwork, I’m moving back to the tactile experiences in life. My career has been in technology, but I’m finding I’m wanting to get back in touch with the analog.
Out of curiosity, why the veg tan over the flash contact? Dust protection?
Also, I like the wrap for the camera. I have an late 70’s Minolta that I’ve thought about doing a wet mold in veg tan for.
