A different sort of wallet

[lovetocreate]

Here's a wallet I made with a handpainted glass eye.  The greenish textured leather around the eye is pigskin.  Here's looking at you!

Very cool and great idea!

Thank you VYO!

Work of art right there.

The eye is recessed in the pigskin to make it look totally real! That is such a cool idea! And the pigskin looks like part of a face covering the eye. Very creative!

Thank you Vaelloc and TomWisc!  The eyes are reverse painted and have about 15 layers of paint.  They're fun to do but time consuming (and the paint takes a while to fully dry with all of the layers)

Very cool! Dragons love gold!

Yep. Like this too  

[LederRudi]

Another unique creation! It's evident, that you love to create!

I like especially the ingenious/simple way the eye is tucked under the pig Skin. The necessary cut in the pig skin is totally consistent with the shape of an eye!

Very cool!

It's following me around the room!

Oh, that's a great piece! That's a real eye-catching (pun intended) design in so many ways!
I bet  you could sell a bunch of those.

Thank you everyone for the responses and positive comments!!!  You all made my day !!!   I look at the the amazing leather pieces that others have made with veg tan leather, and not sure if I belong  here as I work lighter weight chrome dyed leather.  Thank you for validating what I do.

Lots of stuff with all kinds of leather on this forum.  Variety is inspirational.  Awesome work you do!

That is unique, different and amazing!! Taking something ordinary like a wallet and making it into something extraordinary like this... that is talent!
