Yeah, the blue is awesome.

That's a nice looking belt, Chief! I once tried grey on black, and that worked about as miserably as black on black. But I still like black belts, even if you have to look closely to see the tooling. It gives it a quality texture. Nice pattern! It looks a little like a dinosaur backbone or something.

Thank you, Duane and WScott. WScott, I was really convinced to use Tiger thread when someone (WildBill, I think), could actually tell I wasn't using it from pictures. Heh. And I'm glad I switched, it's literally twice as easy to sew with. And not really more expensive, either.

I love the tooling pattern. Very nice!

Thank you, Renee and Yetiusmc! Bluesman, I started using Tiger thread, and it's everything everybody claims it is. Very nice to use, and knitting together in a herringbone pattern. I've never heard of Texas thread, but that doesn't mean anything, as I haven't heard of a lot of things. if you mean these bags ( http://www.herz-bag.jp/webshop/products/detail51.html ), yes, those are quite amazing! Thank you for bringing them to my attention! Monica

My latest bag messenger bag. There's definitely something terribly convenient about working with pre-dyed and finished leather! 4 oz. oil tanned leather, all hand stitched. Any criticism welcome; I know I've made some mistakes in the design, etc. Cheers, Monica

Wow, that is an Extreme Bag. Very nice, and thanks for all the pictures. (LOL, about the pictures being in Russian, electrathon...)

Very, very nice. I love the coloring job, the inside pockets, and pretty much everything else about it.

It looks really clean and nice!

Really cool! Love the artwork.

Looks great to me!

Horse hide? Huh! Looks good!

Your inlay work is really, very good. For that alone, I like it.

Yeah, I guess I can see that. The lining itself (which I have not attempted yet) probably adds a fairly large extra time percentage, and you have a lot of little details all over that thing.

I really like that, nice work! P.S. Wild Bill, we need to learn how to pick our own locks for the next time I lock us out of the house.

Sweet! I love the hawk theme. The hawk head is amazing. My favorite themed motorcycle equipment, to date.

LOL! I'll tell him. By the way, I used to live in the DFW area and all my family still live there.

Cool! Now, was that fish hook in the original fossil, or is that artistic license? My husband and I were arguing about it when you originally posted it a few weeks back.

Thanks! Yes, I carved and then beveled the scales. Now that I am a little better informed about casing, I wonder if it could have looked a great deal better. I guess I'll find out next time!

Wow, that's a ton of work. That must have been 40 hours or something.

Very cool! I'm not usually a big skeleton fan, but fossils are about as cool as it gets.

Cool! What kind of leather is that?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot, Bill! Yeah, David is a nice guy. Too bad for us he moved! And thanks, Matt, and hi to a fellow Texan - even though I'm relocated.

Very nice. I wouldn't mind having one of those.
