hi Linda, the bracelet arrived on Wednesday. It is beautiful. I will have to wrap it up immediately or I will be tempted to keep it for myself. Lois is going to love it. Thank you so much for your beautiful work and for preparing it so quickly. Thank you as well for the lovely zipper pull. Will send a follow up email after December 1oth anniversary. Take care, Maureen

Linda
This message is from Lois, not Maureen. I have recieved the most beautiful and wonderful gift from my wife of three years yesterday on our third aniversery. What a suprise. The workmanship and beauty of the bracelet is just amazing. I have not taken if off since i have recieved it. Thankyou so much for helping maureen. She is a master of surprises!!! I am going to mark your site as a favorate as I have seen a gorgous black with blue background that I think she would like for her birthday in March. I would like to go on but I think and know I would just be rambling on how much I love my gift and of course the cleaverness of my wife on keeping this surprise from me. Keep up your beautiful and creative knotting.
thank- you so much
Lois

Hey Linda…
 I purchased my bracelet from you this past summer at the Victoria Pride…
Just wanted you to know how much I love it! Probably the best leather bracelet I have owned ( And I have had many!) The look, the feel, the quality of build… All #1! And your level of customer service is 2nd to none.
Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you next Pride…

Hey Linda, :)
Lynn here, Received my bracelet today. thank you so much!!.
I haven't taken it off since I opened the envelope. it Fits GREAT, and I love it.
hehe, which now leads me to wonder if its possible to get a matching anklet hehe.
The leather cover over the snap piece is working beautifully, with no reactions
what so ever on my arm. I'm Very pleased.
My daughter Kyra wears her rainbow bracelet constantly as well, and so does her father apparently.
Cant say enough good about it. But rest assured when asked where I got it made
your card will be first thing out of my wallet.
Now about that anklet? hehe..Would love to know if its possible? Hope your having a great weekend. Enjoy the sunshine while we still have it. Best wishes.. Lynn.

Linda, I know that this is a little overdue, but, "better late than never".!! I find that I simply adore my newest Knotty aquisition.!! The workmanship is absolutely divine, and when I say divine, I mean perfection.! Linda, you do such beautiful braiding, it is an honour to wear.! The truth is Linda, meeting yourself and Mick at the musicfest "thingy", proved to demonstrate for me , again,... that volunteer work is the best "work" I get to do,......the beauty here, was meeting great folks like you......"priceless". Thank You for the patient demo of the piece Linda,! That, is "part and parcel" of the TLC that you bring to every thing you do.! Oh ya,.... your infectious smile, loving manner, and your flat out wicked talents,......that's why I'll be staying in touch.!!! Tara
Note from Knotty: Tara purchased a new whip design that will have its debut at the Naughy but Nice show this November in Vancovuer. See my vendor page for more information. Vendor booth

Just wanted to say thank you for the bracelet, it looks great. I have received many compliments on it already. As promised I am including pictures of Goliath wearing his new caller. It is big on him now but he we grow into it. I think it looks great on him, and I am sure we will be doing more business in the future. I am thinking that a matching leash would look great. You also have my permission to use his pictures wearing the caller for advertisement purposes. I can take other pictures if you like.
Thanks again and I will be in touch

I have known Linda for several years and have been very impressed with her kangaroo leather craftsmanship to the extent that I have purchased several bracelets for myself and others. Her work and professionalism is of a very high quality and she is a pleasure to deal with and know ".

Dear Linda,
I want to thank you for the lovely pink earrings you custom made for me. Especially with the special care you took, making sure they were just right.
I get compliments when I wear them and I don't hesitate to tell people about your great craftsmanship using quality kangaroo leather, and all various items you make. My sister and niece loved the zipper pulls I bought as Christmas gifts and I love my Rene bracelet.
It's always a pleasure dealing with professional, talented craftsmen and you are one of the best. I can't wait to see more of your collection.

 I approached Linda to make me something that she had never done before – a dog collar. Not only was she up for the challenge, but she surpassed my expectations with price, timeliness and her skill level. I am thrilled with what I got, so have since ordered many more for my friends.
Linda is fun and easy to work with, is willing to think outside of the box, and the end result is well worth the wait! Thanks Linda for my fabulous collars. You know you will be seeing me again!

I came across your store and unique designs and was drawn in not only by the beautiful and obviously quality pieces you have for sale, but was intrigued by the personal experience you brought to you items. They weren't just pieces of leather - they had a story. I am the proud owner of a Knotty Linda design - the Italian Cuff - it's beautiful story continues now with me. The service was exceptional - follow up was beyond anything I had experienced - and I would highly recommend you and products. I still find myself admiring the cuff (black with a slightly irridescent green leather under the black braiding) when I wear it. It is an exceptional piece with a fitted black turtleneck - a lovely extension on my arm that adds a striking statement. Thank you again for delivering a product AND service that is near impossible to find in this day and age - Best wishes to you!
"I saw the Rene Pride Rainbow bracelet and thought it would make a great gift for a friend. After slyly obtaining the wrist size so as not to spoil the surprise I placed the order. Linda custom-crafted the item within two days and I received an extremely well made and well packaged bracelet. The recipient of the gift was thrilled as well - it fit nicely and looks great on her. Quality item and quality service - that's the bottom line.

Several years ago I spotted some leather bracelets on the internet at Marlinspike Knot Works. The leather work was done very nicely and I asked the moderator who, indeed, placed those items on display. I wanted to ask a few questions about the artist’s technique. This was my first introduction to Linda Brown and her leatherwork. As luck would have it, Linda belonged to Puget Sound Leather Co-op and I had just joined this group, myself. Linda lives in British Columbia and it didn’t take long for us to arrange a personal meeting. We are both interested in the art of leather braiding and today we exchange ideas and braiding techniques often. We ask for and accept constructive criticism and the opinion of the other regularly.
I find Linda to be very well informed in leather craft and the products she exhibits are outstanding. I have learned a lot from her. Perhaps her greatest asset is the ability to design a new product for a particular market and then produce that item for sale perfectly made. She is a wonderful artist and I call her my friend.

I worked at Tandy Leather for 23 years and have seen a lot of leather master pieces. You don't have to tool leather to have a leather masterpiece. Braiding with leather lace is a good case in point. Also using superior material such as Kangaroo lace.
I watched Linda learn how to braid from a leathercrafter who does braiding on a professional level. I heard Linda saying "Oh that is what they meant in the book I was reading." You can't always get knowledge from a book.
I was so impressed with her work, I bought 2 of her bracelets sight unseen. I am proud to wear Linda's "Masterpieces" as part of my leather accessories. The Ricardo goes with most of my wardrobe, it is a nice accent.
I just went to Linda's Website and saw the "Rene Pride Rainbow Bracelet" that is going to be my next purchase.
