Vikefan Report post Posted February 11, 2012 Originally this purse started as a Tandy Kit purse for my mother, but ended up being one I had to design and build from scratch. I still have the 45 dollar on sale purse kit in my garage. This is my second stone inlay and thought it came out well. This is genuine turqoise and purchased from "Nevada Gem". I also used Tandy's new solid brass buckle and d-rings. I used the Vinegaroon process on the leather so the color will never come off. Please view pictures and critique... In the future if I make any more purses I will do things a bit different and am always looking and taking pointers from people with more leather experience than myself. Thanks, Vikefan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tatehunt Report post Posted February 12, 2012 The design is solid, and construction looks good. Can't tell from the photos, but your edges look "not quite finished". They are a little rough looking. May be the quality of the photo, not sure. It's the little things that make all the difference, or so I have been schooled on occasion. Nice job. Like the idea of the stone inset!

reckless Report post Posted February 15, 2012 overall looks great. however as said your edges look as if they have not been burnished. but could be the pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
