Any Lizard Skin Experience

[amadeusfort]

hi there,

i'm a novice bag maker, and recently i found about a dozen of lizard skins. they were all stuck in a box so i thought i would give it a whirl.

the pieces are quite small so therefore need some patching together but now the problem is that the skins curve a little. and that would make it hard for me to try to bond it to another leather.

any ideas. perhaps a possibility to stretch it?

here's an attachment.

thanks in advance.

Looks like some nice skins,

I only use this type of leather for inlays myself. Lizard looks really good in inlays for various things.

I am not entirely sure how it would hold up being sewn to each other as the primary leather for a handbag. You will need the advice of the handbag experts.

yeah they are nice skins and i want to make sure i make good use out of them..

i'm going to experiment with an interweaving join.. instead of a stitching .. i will post some updates soon.

cheers
