Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted February 9, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I thought I'd try my hand at making a bag that could be hung up on a wall. I took some deerskin rawhide, cowhide, bison and latigo, ran it all through my laser cutter/etcher, hand-stitched the pieces together, and this is what I came up with. Just entered it into a local art show. Edited February 9, 2020 by LatigoAmigo Quote
Members Tugadude Posted February 9, 2020 Members Report Posted February 9, 2020 I love it. But maybe you should form the rawhide to look like a mouth. Then you can call it Pursed Lips. Quote
MikeRock Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 That is an absolutely amazing purse! This is really excellent - sets the bar up high! I've not seen one so fine! The side-detail herringbone design is beautiful and unique. Would love to see more pictures of this! (The display idea is cute, but not worthy of this excellent piece. I envision something like a 1900's on-wall sconce?) Again, WOW! -Valerie Weihman-Rock (Mike Rock's wife) Quote
MikeRock Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 Look in Vogue magazine to see how much the high-end purses go for. And none of them are anywhere as beautiful as yours. In fact they are not a third as nice. Shoot, you put a one-of-a-kind and ask $10K, you're in the ballpark and there would be "cat fights" over it! -Valerie Weihman-Rock (Mike Rock's wife) Quote
Members BigSiouxSaddlery Posted February 10, 2020 Members Report Posted February 10, 2020 I agree, that bag is something else! Beautiful job on it, and I'm not all that much of a "bag lady"! Quote

I just hate being expected to and having to carry a bag. My bags tend to all be big and heavy, and I don't usually include a shoulder strap, so they typically go to the male side.
