the finished purse.

i wouldnt want to give any technical leatherworking advice as ive only been doing leather for a few months now, and these folks seem to have you taken care of anyway. but as a tattoo artists of 15 years and airbrush artist for about 30 yrs. my only advice would be on the artwork design. now forgive me if thats exactly what the customer wanted but i think the grateful dead skull could have been a bit more elaborate maybe with some roses. outside the box kind of stuff. but again if thats what the customer wants thats what they get i definatley understand that. just my 2 cents worth. other than that the attention to detail in your stitching and rolling is excellent.

I've wanted to do a purse for a while now and I was working on this gypsy girl and my wife suggested using this for a purse. Whatchaa think?

profesionally im a tattoo artist so that design just came to me, thats the kind of stuff i do every day. as for advice on the leather working part. I took the standard pickgaurd and used it to make a template and of course you'll have to do some creative trimming to get it to fit right. all in all it was a pretty easy project.

Heres a pickguard i did for a friends bass guitar.

first thing, the leather work is great! second, being a biker myself the twin stacks look awesome!! how does that work with a passenger?? cause if she wont get burned by it i may end up lookin into that myself. again, the leather is super nice.
