Members Tina Posted April 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted April 10, 2008 Ahh så inihelvittes läcker!!!!!Yeah girl, you sure made something very appealing to me here! I get a medieval sensation out of this one. The decorative borders are soooo nice with that triweave stamp, I'm just gonna have to steal that idea sometime, lol. The dragons are way nice, don't tell me you drew up them yourself aswell? I'm all curious about the rings on top, did you buy them as is or maybe made it yourself with lace?? They look awsome! The lock is to die for, wow. WELL DONE!! Tom Wow, Thanks Tom:-) Well, the rings is another thing I did when I could not find what I needed (antique colored brass rings to go with the clasp) so I just wraped leather around the rings I had and then some satin sheene, "you take what you have" the patterns is easier to draw than one might think, just takes some time. Sometimes I start from scratch, sometimes I might use something I've seen and liked but I alter it to something new...And yes, to me, I'm more inspired by the medieval and/or old viking runestones than the irish celtic version of it all so I call this one my "Viking bag":-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

People at the shows are just as nice as people here on the forum and they are going to like you and your projects. You will get some new ideas from seeing what other people are doing, and they will get lots of ideas from what you are doing. And best of all, you will get a chance to make some new friends and meet some of the people that you know from here. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website

Hilly Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) now that's some great work! I think the fuzzy sides are a bit out of place, but the work and design are mighty impressive! What?! I think the "fuzzy sides" make it that much more cool! Tina, that bag is WAY cool! I never carry a handbag, haven't since 1992, but if I did, I'd love to carry THAT one! That's just gorgeous!

Members Dink Posted April 10, 2008 Members Report Posted April 10, 2008 Hi Tina This is an excellent example at professional work, that needs to be show. I would like to attempt something similar to this for binoculars. Could you show what the top of the bag looks like with lid opened? Dink Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted April 10, 2008 Members Report Posted April 10, 2008 Very nice work! I like the leather wrapped rings, it's a cool detail. Quote

Dink Thank You all, you do boost my confidence to get my behind over to some leather show, but the real treat would be to meet some of you there:-) Dink...I'll take some more pictures, I'm just going to finish of the lining inside of it, looks nicer:-) As I said earlier, I did take this one apart twice. The construction of it was a wee bit of "trail and error" and I kept changing stuff and adding (hopefully to the better) as I went along. Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
