Elephant Card Wallets

[thefanninator]

After seeing some cool elephant wallets I wanted to try some. I purchased 1 sq ft from Roje Leather. The texture is incredible. I was able to get 4 different sizes for wallets out of it. Here are the first two. 2 and 4 pocket card wallets. I used a 9tpi Blanchard pricking iron, Alran chèvre for the interiors and Lin Cable 632 thread. I use Fenice edge paint and sand to very a fine grit then buff with paraffin wax.

Elephant bifold in the works.

The finished bifold doesn't have a standard bill pocket but has plenty of room for bills behind the card panels. All the pockets have turned edges.

I shot a couple photos using some posterboard to get some studio quality pics. Worked pretty good.

Nice looking wallet and photos.  Did you use a light box?

Thanks. No, just the posterboard as the background and the lights in my bathroom and an iPhone 7.
