Man those look comfortable! Nice job.

Roll with what you have. It does not look bad at all.

Love the color combo, very nice work!

Wow! They all are really great looking. You have an eye for color that I wish I had.

More of the same excellent quality we can expect coming out of your shop! As Billy Crystal would say "Marvelous darling".

Wow, what an amazing project. Really nice work.

What an awesome backstory to go with a future family heirloom. Thanks for sharing Dwight!

nice purse!

For the purse 4-5 oz is plenty, if you need it to be stiffer add a bag stiffner . The wallet needs to be light or you will be skiving all day, imo. 3-4 or 4-5 oz back,and 2-3oz pockets. Only my opinion. good luck and have a great new year.

AS Bruce said nitrile works the best.

Jacksonville was colder than Detroit, and a few other northern cities. 39 in Ocala, and another cold one tonight. Another very nice scene!

Very nice work on the basket weave.

Thanks for taking the time for a detailed review. I will be shopping around and give it a shot! Thanks again, Rick.

Welcome to the forum, we are glad to have you here. Leather craft does have a relaxing aspect , it is my therapy lol!

Really nice work on the stamping ! I like the way you used the border stamps. The back looks every bit as nice as the front. Nice work!

Thanks, I appreciate your comments, I have already got an order for one since Christmas. Maybe this time I will pay more attention to the direction I'm stitching

That is interesting, I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. Let us know how it works out.

Those are very classy! How do you like working with the Saffiano leather . I am just now getting interested in making bags, and been looking at this leather as an option. Thanks for the pics. You better make a bunch, THEY GONNA SELL!

You should be happy! I think you nailed it , those colors look great together. That is one sharp looking tote!

Thank you all for the kind words. It definitely was a labor of love.

Thanks, she was totally surprised and loved it.

I made this mini backpack for my niece. My oldest daughter saw it and said she would not mind having one lol. Well I secretly made her one while she was out at work. All was going fine until I was coming to the end of my stitching. I had stitched a panel backwards. Was not happy pulling thread late at night. The morning of the 24th I was in the "zone" restitching my mistake, and it made it under the tree in time for Christmas morning,PHEW! The turquoise is 2-3 oz Venice Italian leather, veg 3-4 oz , Fiebings pro dye dark brown, antique brass hardware. Rhino waxed brown tread. 10 worn out finger tips!

What a work of art!

Very nice work.

You always amaze me with your skill with color. Another masterpiece, thanks for sharing.
