I just finished up my wallet...

Recommended Posts

Well, here's my second wallet I've done. The first was a bi-fold for a friend, this one is a "biker" for me. Whatcha think?

Very cool wallet VonFuct!!!

I especially like that it is a borderless design, the stitching is enough to keep the composition together .

Very nice work!!

Thanks a lot! And to be fair, Timd1159, it's not my second project, just my second wallet. It's probably about my fifth or sixth project since I started doing leatherwork. ;o) And Tom, yeah, I was going for something a little different than what I've seen in the past. It seems most are bordered in some way so I wanted to try a three sided bleed. Glad you liked it! TwinOaks, there's a "skull crowd"?

Most certainly! There's a small group here that incorporate skull designs into a lot of their work, some of it steampunk, some biker, some .....other.

And it isn't all carved either- just search for "skulls", and include the quotes.

Yeah, I been nagging alot about bordering and think most times it is needed but there are allways that exception that confirms the rule as well and not to forget everyone has their personal pref wich is fine by me. I picked up my way of thinking image/tooling/designing from a photographers point of view.

The skull crew is a little inofficial bunch of members and whenever you post your first skull it seems like there is allways someone welcoming you to the "gang".

Hmmm.. maybe we should have a subforum for skullfreaks;-)

Really like the lettering with the graphics moving from one side to the next.

I'm going to have to try something like this in the future.

Yeah, I can understand that Tom. I'm coming at it from an art director/graphic artist point of view with a heavy dose of tattoo influence. The way I see it, just do what the piece/art wants to do, don't fight it and have fun with it.

Oh, and I guess I AM one of the skull crew, I just thought about it and out of the seven leather projects I've done so far, five had had skulls in them!

Yep, to me your design screams graphic designer, I'm one too. I've discovered that my graphic design background really comes across in my leather designs.

Thanks Luke! Maybe I'll frame the next wallet I do and see how I like it. What types of framing do you like to use?

I couldn't touch that kind of layout and art work. I like.
