If you're brainstorming ideas for a Year of the Dragon rest, I can picture something in a bottle green/vintage leather, like an old club chair:
It might be over the top, but crocodile leather comes in a loverly green color as well...
Too tacky?
Apologies for the recent silence--have had family visiting this week but am now back to the computer.
Hehe, actually, crocodile is something I can do! Well, crocodile-embossed veg tan like this

I'm also discussing doing a steampunk-patchwork style rest with some exotic leather inlays with a customer. It's a long term project that's going to require some prototyping, though.
I also got in some new colours:
The grey is crazy, I thought it was discontinued but found some on EBay, it's in a glass bottle and looks like model paint. That one I am definitely trying on a test piece first.
Some other news:
I may be getting an awesome shipping deal from DHL so shipping is going to get both cheaper and faster than I was previously able to offer.
Apparently I qualify as a small business in the "fashion industry," you fashionable people.
