Contributing Member Crystal Posted October 9, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 9, 2008 Hi Tina- That was a sneaky sneak peak! Had no idea this is what it was going to be. Beautiful! I like how you did the bag flap and the location of the clasp - gives it a nice twist. The lining was a really nice touch, too. Great job! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather

Members wildrose Posted October 10, 2008 Members Report Posted October 10, 2008 "Clean" is the word that comes to mind about the excellent color job. It is sooooo beautiful. The owner is sure to use it proudly! I also love the positioning and use of the clasp (and that's a favorite clasp of mine too) Quote Holly Moore Wild Rose Creations http://www.wrcleather.com
Members Tina Posted October 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 10, 2008 So Happy you all like it, Thanks:-) This one tock for ever to make. The suede is really soft but...It's a drag to keep clean, it's sucks every little thing into it like a hoover *grrrr* I'm personally not a rose person but this was what was asked for by the new owner. It is a modified old Stohlman pattern that I adopted to the this purse. wildrose My favvo clasp too:-) I have found a place with like 5 different colors on the smal one, I need to inquire how one can get some from them. Hi Jim I would love to take this to a show but...I't going out of the house and down to Florida within a few days. Let's see what can be made until spring...Wrecking my brain:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members Tina Posted October 10, 2008 Author Members Report Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Gorgeous work, as always, Tina. I always look forward to your new posts.Kate Thanks Kate, I'm trying to surprice but think I do surprice myself more than anything...A year ago I didnt know that I would even do such stuff with leather, or even that it was possible without going to shool or something. I have to give LW a whole truckloads of credit, I have learned so much and all from the members here and got so much pep talk, Thanks all for sharing your knollage:-) Edited October 10, 2008 by Tina Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

Contributing Member ClayB Posted October 10, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 10, 2008 Ok Tina, you have to stop posting pictures! I already have two different purses to make for my wife, and now you show this. She loves this design! I haven't even had time to carve the last 2 patterns you drew up for me!! You know I'm kidding though, right? Everything you do inspires so many of us to try different things. The purse looks great.
