Show me your wallet

Here are a couple long wallets I've done recently.

After seeing all the post, I made a wallet , it's elephant. I need help with ending my thread I burned it , but it has black spot there

@Joseph1836, that's a nice wallet. For burning thread. You don't want to just put the flame to it. You want to approach the thread with the flame until it just starts to melt. I like to move the lighter around as I do this so it isn't stationary. 

Alternatively, you can back stitch twice and that should keep it together just fine, then trim flush. You don't have to burn the ends this way. Just what I like to do sometimes

A thread burner works nice too. Basicly a super tiny soldering iron that runs on a AA battery. Look in the heading section of craft stores.

Here’s a quick one I whipped up for a buddies wife per her request as she doesn’t carry a purse much. Cards in the front folded cash in the back pocket.

It's cool seeing what people classify as wallets. All the different designs n such.

Hey Yin, can we see the inside? Do you put heavier leather under the 3 oz when stamping?

I put a layer of 1 oz on the back of the tooled section after I was done dyeing, antiquing, etc.   It still has come out a lot thicker than I wanted, so a bit much to carry around in the front pocket for my tastes.  "T" pocket design might help here for the future, but wanted to try one with a full pocket design. Here is the inside:

That blue looks suspiciously familiar.

It's W/C 3oz airbrushed with Fiebings Blue Pro Dye.

Oh, it looks just like the ocean blue I got from NStarleather. My mistake.
