Members Hawgman Posted February 3, 2010 Members Report Posted February 3, 2010 Kevin, I really like the way you do your edges and the inside of the cover. Looks way cool. I think I went through your tutorial on making a wallet like this and plan to try one soon. Keep posting and inspiring me. THANKS.

Members MBOGO Posted February 4, 2010 Members Report Posted February 4, 2010 That is motivating me, un be leav able, I'd been thinking about embroidery, but that is another level. Quote
Kevin King Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Posted February 5, 2010 Guys! Thanks a bunch for the kind words and compliments! About 15 hours went into this one. Levi, the lining material is some store-bought stuff from Joannes fabric. KK Quote The second kick from a jackass is of no educational value.

Ambassador freak Posted February 11, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted February 11, 2010 Can i call ya Ray? My main man Ray, that is just freakin intensely insane, King !!!! I love everything about it brotha. You didn't pull any punches on this one, and it shows. You stated about 15 hours. Is that cutting a stitching time? I'm guessing you've got mad hours just laying it all out and deciding on what material (form of exotic) to use and where. Love it Kevin, freakin love it !!!! Oh yea, one last thing. What machine do you use again? LOL !! Good to see your work again, King !! Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start.

Thanks shehog, all the stitching is machine stitched...most of the inlays/overlays i didn't even turn the machine on, so, in a way its all hand stitched...one stitch at a time. Can i call ya Ray?

Oh yea, one last thing. What machine do you use again? LOL !! Good to see your work again, King !! Freak you nailed it. 15 hours is just the working time. I spent a lot of time just staring at this thing trying to figure out how I wanted to do it. There were days I just couldnt work on it because it hurt my head. That's really something. Where do you get your different leathers from? I get diff things from diff places, a lot I get from Kevin in Springfield but others I get from a couple diff places in cali.

Members SPLeatherSales Posted April 2, 2010 Members Report Posted April 2, 2010 Conceptually that is an amazing wallet. I really like how you layered different leathers to create detail. How did you decide on the subject matter? Also, I think the addition of a Japanese style fabric print on the interior really pulls the whole piece together. Quote
