Halitech Report post Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) So, I was commissioned to make a "commuter bag" for a friend that will carry her lunch bag, a travel mug and a book. She's just started taking the bus instead of her car and didn't want to carry multiple bags on the bus First picture is a bristol board mock up (I find it easier to have a template to work from then trying to cut things with just a ruler and square) This allowed me to lay everything out on the leather as well so I didn't waste or have to buy extra 2nd and 3rd pics are the carving work done for the end pieces I used a single layer of resist on the moon and parts of the horse shoes to prevent the dye from sinking in when I dyed it 4th pic is the custom artwork done on the front Will post more as I put it together Edited December 6, 2013 by Halitech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
