Thank you for your ongoing support.  As I get older, I discover that there are many things I want to accomplish both professionally and personally in the years that I have left.  Unfortunately, that means that some things have to take a back seat.  Custom leather projects take more time than you realize.  Almost as much time goes into head scratching over a project as actually working on it.  Therefore, I will be accepting fewer custom leather projects in the future.  But there is one way to insure that I will consider your custom leather work ideas.  And if I accept your commission, it will jump to the top of my priority list. By supporting me at this level, I will give you Custom Work Preference.   Think of it as having your very own leather worker on retainer.  In addition, I will even consider doing select repair work for you during the year.  ( I really don't like doing repair work outside of the the MN Festival, but how can I say no to you.)  And your contribution will go towards expanding my talents in the leather working arts.  

I am floored that you would even consider supporting me at this level.  Let me show you my heart felt thanks by also giving you a custom Minion of the Mugger Leather Mug.  But instead of embossing it, I will Hand Carve All the Artwork, making it a true one of a kind work of art.  See the Minion of the Mugger level for details.  You must be a supporter of mine at the Patron of the Leather Mug Arts for at least 6 months in that year to receiving your hand tooled mug.  

As I get older, I find myself turning away more and more custom work requests.  But as a Patron of the Leather Mug Arts, I will give your Custom Work Requests Preference to my limited time.  I'm not saying I will do it for free, but for you, I am saying that I will do it if it is in my power to do so.  How can I say No to you.
