Very nice !

The travisher marks radiating from the point of the pommel is such a great detail

It is beautiful! I really want to sit in it !

Know thine enemy

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Body of the new bag is all stitched up, time for rolled handles

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Progress at the end of last night.
Still need to prep all the binding before final assembly of the bag. Then it's handled and the cloth lining

Glad to see it !!!

Working on it

Yes we would !

How's that bipartisanship taste now Senator ?

In spite of the shame I feel of our current regime in Washington, our work goes on. A new bag and a new chair are underway, somehow beautiful things must overcome the ugliness, vitriol, and stupidity in the world today.

Do it! Do you have a local maker space or folk school to take classes from ?

Merci!

The chair is done, now to switch
Back to leather goods. I won't be doing any art fairs this year so I'd like to reduce the inventory I have on hand.

Starting with this tote bag in green and natural Italian vegtan.

Black and white photos of old trains are the best !!!

Thank you !!!

It's beautiful!

Is this the ember pattern ? How do you like it ?

Have you checked out flashes yet ?

Thank you ! This is my second chair, but I haven't felt the need for cushions yet. The carved seat isn't too deep, so you're able to adjust your position which is key to long term sitting comfort.

BUT, I also do leather work, so I have given some thought to stitching up a nice leather pad.

Thank you !

Thank you !

Took the new chair out to bask in the sunlight before applying the final coat of varnish oil.
