Molded Handbag (In Process)

[Basically Bob]

Thanks, thefanninator,

Yeah that's a cool shot but I kinda screwed up the pricking line. I used my saddler's dividers and tried to follow the crease at the bottom of the molded part to give me a straight line. However, the dividers are tapered at the pointed ends and this made it difficult to keep the line perfectly parallel.

My best practice on the smaller cases I do is to simply mark a straight line, on the three edges with a ruler to the point that the corner radius(s) start and then complete the radius with the dividers. Just didn't think to do it on this bag.

Check out how crisp the fold line is around the bottom in this shot after taking the top frame off of the mold.
