Now this is taking one simple ole Tandy design pattern (well, thats where I saw it anyway, its prolly older than that) and doing something exceptionally nice. really nice

WOW.!!

I reckon you need to change your profile from this though.. 'Leatherwork Specialty:Newbie - just learning' lol

I know it's not in critique, but the lack of oak leaves is distracting..haha!

But seriously, that's got to have taken some patience and a steady hand.. Fantastic job Crystal..

That looks very good I don't know which side looks better but I think the background on the initials is outstanding!!! David

[benlilly1]

Fabulous !!!!!!!!! Enough said.

[bdpeters]

very nicely thought out and done.

Wow Crystal....that is a slam dunk. Love the colors and the finish work. Exceptional job.

[Jimbob]

Nice work, super nice carving, extra super-duper airbrushing...A-plus!!

[Tina]

I'm a fan, Great work

The overall look is awsome but I love the small details. Instead of just seeds inside the flover there's...more flowers:-) I also love the extra leathercord along the strap and you really succeeded with the overall color schemes.

[Wishful]

yes, very nice. So, did you use an airbrush or? I like the finish.

[Bob Blea]

Really very very nice.

Crystal,

that is really gorgeous. You need to send a picture of it to Tandy and let them use it as the finished photo for the market bag (I think that is what it's called). I have made 2 over the years- but that "AFTER" shot will sell a lot more for them when people can see what is possible.

Thank you so very much, everyone! I appreciate all the feedback!

No airbrushing! Just brush. I do have an airbrush- it's in a box somewhere but I haven't a clue where or even how to use it when I do find it again.

Thanks, Pete- but I don't think I am ready for that kind of "prime time" yet.

Hmmm, Tina. I think I learned that detail thing from my favorite Swede!

Again- thanks, everyone!

Crystal

[immiketoo]

That is top notch. Awesome!

Great job on the bag. Th ecoloring really makes this for me. I have a couple of these kits that I picked up from someone who was getting out of leatherworking. Been trying to figure out what to do with them, now I have some inspiration.

Any details on the type of dyes used.

This is seriously a very nice bag, you should send pictures to Tandy, or someone here may do it for you.

Ya know, I blew this beautiful bag up real big on my computer screen to look at the incredible amount of details, I looked at every line, and cut, and I thought I found a flaw,,,,, but alas, I was mistaken.

Absolutely beautiful work!

You did an excellent job!

Your leatherwork is perfection... It's all eye candy!

First your backgrounding really caught my attention - it's even on the fine way you finished the strap.

And your braiding is just soooo good! Then all the details in the flower - You Are Soooo Talented!

I also agree with those that suggested sending your pictures to Tandy... If they used your picture

that would be Good advertising for them

And Good advertising for you...

Boo-Ya!
