Purse For My Grand Mother

[Colt W Knight]

My grand mother sent me a nice birthday card, and she said how much she enjoyed watching my leatherwork on facebook, so I decided I would make her something.

She recently went to Africa on mission work, a life long dream of hers, and she connected with a Baobab tree in Malawi. I choose some leather I had on hand that looked like an elephant ( to me at least) and tooled a scene of a Baobab tree on the front.

I wish I had done a better job stitching the front flap. Ive made a couple of these types of purses, and I just haven't figured out how to stitch that part yet. The differing thickness and types of leather coupled with the drag and awkwardness of maneuvering the purse make stitching that part rough. I have a new construction idea I am going to try on the next one.
