Sona Report post Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) As I play samba (for those who know it - more samba reggae than the samba-style played in rio) and a friend and member of my group has birthday in a while I decided to make her a stick bag for carrying all the sticks while playing. I tooled the name of our group on the front side and painted it with some angelus acrylics. I hoped for the colour to turn out more neon-like (like it looks, if I paint it on a scrap piece of paper), but I still think it came out nice. If I´d do this again I think I would make a stitching grove on the inside for those decorative stitches, because sometimes the sticks struggle a bit with them. Apart from that I am quite happy with the result. Even though - if you have any ideas, tips or suggestions how to improve that piece, pls don´t hold back. For that it doesn´t matter whether it might be just design, technique or sth else Hope you like it. Right now I just filled it with my own sticks which look.... well some kind of "used" I think ^^. It´s just to show how it should work out for her. The straps are made to hold it to her leg (the lower one) as to two points of here belt (the upper ones) to avoid bouncing while playing/performing. [ist it possible that there are some changes about uploading pictures? I uploaded them somewhere else now, if the pictures are to big, just tell me.... I´ll size them down ^^] Edited October 3, 2013 by Sona Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
