Heart Shaped Bag #12
After a long time absent from posting my work, here is some photos of
my most resent bag. The bag is heart shaped and made from 3 oz. veg
tanned leather, hand stitched with linen thread, dyed a dark brown and
treated with pure linseed oil and wax. The inside has a large pocket the
full width of the bag and divided in half. The flap has some simple
tooling done on the front side and striped linen added to the backside
and is held closed with a brass button. The detail of the strap can be
seen in the photo along with it's forged 1" buckle.The bag size is 7"
wide x 9" deep.
