ABHandmade Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Finished a small bag as a gift to a five-year-old niece. A little saddened by the fact that a strip-dent appeared on the carved part (left upper corner) caused by a defect in the leather, which appeared after the carving and drying of the leather was completed. Hopefully, over time, it will not be so noticeable. Criticism, comments and advices will be greatly appreciated. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 26, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 26, 2019 What defect? I can't see one. It is most stupendous. I'm jealous of your artistry and carving and stamping on this Your niece will love it, almost as much as she'll love you for having made it for her You are now her very favourite uncle. . . . . . . like forever Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 26, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 26, 2019 ALWAYS like seeing your use of color. Tannage is a bit different on this? No question she's gonna love it. Hey, I don't even carry a bag and EVEN I love it Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

There is a very slight difference in the shades of the carved part and the part with the zipper (these are different pieces of leather - 3 oz and 4-5 oz), but in reality this is not as noticeable as in the photo. 1 hour ago, JLSleather said: Hey, I don't even carry a bag and EVEN I love it Quote
Members blue duck Posted July 26, 2019 Members Report Posted July 26, 2019 That is the cutest little purse I have ever seen. There is art and there is craft, this is art. You should have mom or dad skype or facetime you and let her open it in "front" of you. You only get to see that once. Quote May God Smile on you today.
RockyAussie Posted July 27, 2019 Report Posted July 27, 2019 I agree. That is soooo true. Absolutely FANTASTIC in every way. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
