Hello!

[MonicaJacobson]

I like that satchel as well. Very nice! How much for a couple of the buckles?

I had looked at your facebook, and I really like the decorative cut on the inside of the wallet. Very nice accent. Also, those watch bands look nice! I don't have any experience with making those, myself.

As for the chunkier thread, the customer is always right, I guess!

I sent you a message about the buckles.

Also, I think I mentioned and I am contractor...yeah I LOVE infusing wood elements into my bags

Hard maple spines are in my messenger bag and on BOTH in internals of the tote bag.

I had this messenger bag sold THEN the local customer backed out once it was half way completed...that is why I now take full payments on custom bag orders haha.

BWiess, don't change a thing (except stitching across straps). Personally, I love your style.

I also love your use of copper rivets. I think they look great on your bags and obviously they will hold forever. I do have a technical question about how you set them, though. Those rivets at the bottom of your bags must be hard to get at. Do you have a section of railroad track or other custom anvil that extends to the inside of the bag? If so, it must either be placed inside the bag in its entirety or be cantilevered off your bench. Or, maybe it's the horn on a blacksmith's anvil? I'm quite interested in any details you can provide.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Wood inserts are an awesome idea! Especially for totes. My husband makes mandolins, and he's been trying to figure out a way for me to include wood. I have a few ideas that I will hopefully be able to get to eventually!

Again, simple is often more then all this "Sissy carving floral all shiny leather crafter stuff"....and YES I 've been doing it too....

Love the bag, it says: I am here to stay, dont mess with me and honest people only....sort of earthy, clean....what can I say...I like it !!!
