fox face bag

This was the test piece for my glass eyed purses. I wasn't 100% happy with the magnetic clasp and the glue adhesion on the flap so I kept it as my every day carry. It's lasted me years. But now the face is peeling up and the magnet is pulling away. I have much better construction techniques and u thinknits time to make another bag for myself. Should I do a fox again or another animal face? Maybe something different all together?

first personal project of '24

After a crazy holiday season it's nice to unwind on a personal project. I'm going for something inspired by long winter nights and heavenly bodies. The mask base is from a kit by Miss Monster.

new leather bag

SOLD!

It's been a bit since I've done a face bag. The hand panted eyes are my favorite part of this one. I'm hoping to do at least one more before the holidays. Leaning towards wolf or fox for the next. These are available for sale in my studio at Lowe mill. I can also take payment online and ship if you see something that makes your heart sing while I don't have an online shop up and running.
