The Dragon Wallet...wip Pics Included.

Recommended Posts

Hey friends! I know I havn't been on in a long time. Kinda miss it around here but things have been super crazy! It's like 400 degrees in my shop right now, so I thought I'd take a minute and share my latest with you all.

It's a wallet i've been wanting to make for about a year now and just decided to stitch er up.

I'd also like to show a little of the process of layering the leather for the design.

I'll just let the pics speak for themselves. This isn't really a tutorial, just progress pics with the final shots. The wip pics are with my phone so they aren't that great, which was kind of on purpose...makes the final pics that much cooler.

I didn't use a lot of exotics on this one, just a lot of different black leathers to get a cool effect with different textures.

Enough blah blah blah...on with the pics.

Thanks all for the kind words!

That thing is a beauty! Is the bottom layer elephant hide?

Good eye man. The rest is various cowhide, one kidskin, and a teeny bit of frog in the eye.

very cool, i love the thread color choice... and the scales...

Thanks eric! I had no idea what the colors were going to be until I started making it. These things kinda make themselves, I just help em along.

If you look closely, the scales run two different directions. For some reason, it just didn't look right when I had them going all the same way.

Love it, glad to see you back and I hope you stick around if lifes a little more relaxed now.

Thanks buddy! I'm gonna try to get back here more, been looking around at all the new stuff and people. Very cool. Relaxed? I really wish man. Maybe one of these days.

so.... you finally added some real reptile:rolleyes2: .. hehehe....:spoton: the strap really ties it all all together (sorry 'bout the bad pun). i know it's been said before, but it is a praiseworthy object, and i hope the owner of it will appreciate even a 1/10th of the work/thought that went into it.:asoapbox: take care and.....

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy::specool:

eric

Thanks man. The gold leather in the strap is actually ostrich leg though. Sorry.

It's all stuff from my scrap bin actually, so I can't remember where I got it all. Probably a lot from Kevin at Springfield Leather.

Wow .

I never thought of using leather for this kind of stitching.

Give me the idea of quilting, awsome.
