Phone case from scrap leather

[supercub]

I was cleaning up the shop and stumbled across a small piece of Python leftover from a belt buckle project years ago.  Since I need a case for a new cell phone, I picked through the leather scrap pile and found enough pieces to put together the case shown below.  Not sure I'll do it the same way again, but it was an entertaining project and a chance to practice hand stitching, I tried to color match the belt buckle, but I wasn't able to get the same leather and the air brush was not working.  So, I used a dauber and sheepskin pad to apply the dye.  As a result the dye job turned out a little too dark.  Oh well.....

Good looking case and buckle.

Hey now that's sharp, but eh don't tell me you got a rattler ring tone : )

Have a good day there

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm still trying to figure out how to do this inlay stuff.

Looks to me like you pretty much have it down.  Good looking pieces.

Thanks for the comment.  For what its worth, I did a similar phone case and buckle  set a couple of weeks ago in Rattlesnake pictured under the topic 'Roadkill phone case'.

Thank you supercub, for the photos and information. A friend of mine wants a case for his phone. I hope you don't mind, I think I am going to copy your's. Where a good place to get some snake skin scraps?
