Members MakerUnknown Posted January 24, 2013 Members Report Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Finished another one yesterday. I always burn my brand as the very last thing I do. This is a three wine bottle carrier I make for a winery in the Napa Valley of California. They're rough and tumble type of bags, I leave my mistakes, I leave them without a finish. The brand is a U symbol that I burn into the leather three times to make my logo...MU...Maker Unknown. It's also a buddhist word standing for nothing, nothingness, formless. The bag is wet formed. The U heating up. Starting the process. The finished brand/logo. You're looking at it upside down here. The bag.

Members MakerUnknown Posted January 25, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks to all. I'm an advertising photographer by trade....I know my way around the camera and lights thing fairly well at this point. Quote http://cargocollective.com/makerunknown
Members mrdabeetle Posted January 29, 2013 Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 I love the toggle, don't see much of that anymore. I also like the way you created ribs in the front by using the separators. I like the natural color of the leather too. That carrier is going to age better than the wine. Thank you for sharing! Quote
Members MakerUnknown Posted January 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks everybody. My girlfriend who works in journalism thinks I'm onto something with the branding my brand thing. She going to try and push it out to her contacts. So I re-shot it to create a bit more excitement to it with a bag that didn't pass muster. I wet the leather to get some "action" out of the shots. I would edit the original but can't at this point.
