So, I started this purse sometime late last winter.

It has been a few boo-boo's along the way and I had to put it aside or going crazy. The total pattern, purse and tooling is all original and I experimented some during the process to make it right.

On the front is some frogs, and a snail, on the back more frogs and a chameleon and a few dragon flyes. The lid has the last bunch of froggies, just love the little creatures:-)

I have a matte finish to it all except the frogs and the snail, I added a high gloss finish on them. All is dyes with Angelus spirit dyes (just a few spots with Angelus leather paint in white and black). I also use up the last now of my "old stock" antique finish from Tandy)

Tina,

Fantastic work....over the top as usual!

Always a Tina fan....

Thank You Kathy for your kind words:-)

I do have proof of the boo-boo, I'll post it up. When it happend some months ago I gor fed up and put it all aside...This is my GREEN boo-boo..................

Thanks a Load, I'm so glad you like it:-)

Tina,

Having done the exact same thing myself, I made myself a little dye bottle holder that would contain spills. It's just a wood block to hold the dye bottles upright, mounted in a pan to contain any spills. Super easy to make and really handy! I'm going to make a new one that fits the dye bottles I'm using now. It holds my edge dye pens, a few brushes, daubers, open caps....anything that could get knocked around and contaminate my project. I usually put a couple of shot bags on either side of the pan to keep it from getting knocked around. I just thought this might help someone who hasn't ruined a project yet by spilling their dye bottle..... :)

Super Thanks for your kind comments Bob :-)

I love the way you have the dyes, it all makes sense, I have to make something like this for the bottles. I almost always dilute/blend etc with my colors so I have them in old babyfood jars, I love the hight of them. One of the few times I had an original bottle on the table...Of course I just had to knocked it over *grrr*
