I have been playing with the idea of doing something more than dolls and quilts lately. I finally came up with my newest projects, handbags. I am loving the challenge they offer along with the beautiful graphic fabrics that make them so eye-catching. I've decided to use leather along with the wonderful cottons.
My lovely mom steered me to the greatest place to get skins, S.H. Frank Leather in the Mission District. Emma and Mary, my housemate and fellow Etsian (http://www.alloneword.etsy.com/) went with me on my first trip out and we stood at the wall of colorful skins for a long time before even touching anything.
Here is a picture of my first batch. My wonderfully talented boyfriend helped me with the photography.
