[lowrey]

looks very good Albert

I've been meaning to make a leather bag for a while now but haven't gotten around to it yet :P

Albert - I want the next one, dammit. I don't care if you were never a janitor at CDiem.

[awlouie]

A-R-T-I-S-A-N A-W-E-S-O-M-E B-A-G !

[Who?]

damn, son
is there anything you CAN'T do?

Nope, I have heard legends of the man they call Albert. I was told he once killed a man just so he could bring him back to life.

I am convinced Tom Waits met Albert a long time ago and wrote this song about him.

Take an eye for an eye
Take a tooth for a tooth
Just like they say in the Bible
Never leave a trace or forget a face
Of any man at the table
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
He rides through your dreams on a coach
And horses and the fence posts
In the midnight look like bones

Well they've stopped trying to hold him
With mortar, stone and chain
He broke out of every prison
Boots mount the staircase
The door is flung back open
He's not there for he has risen
He's not there for he has risen

Well he once killed a man with a guitar string
He's been seen at the table with kings
Well he once saved a baby from drowning
There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
Some say they fear him
Others admire him
Because he steals his promise
One look in his eye
Everyone denies
Ever having met him
Ever having met him

He can turn himself into a stranger
Well they broke a lot of canes on his hide
he was born away in a cornfield
A fever beats in his head like a drum inside
Some say they fear him
Others admire him
Because he steals his promise
One look in his eye
Everyone denies
Ever having met him
Ever having met him

Oh man, this thread has gone downright crazy

Thank you all again for the kind words. Faust, I'm ordering more heavy duty silver in preparation to make more of these (I purchased about 4-5 half hides in the leather I used to treat and make these bags with in preparation for multiple pieces), so when things get going you'll be the first to know. I have to sit down and figure out the pricing scheme for everything.

Funny you mentioned Waits, the moment I saw you quote him I actually thought of his track "Whats He Building?" hahahaha

I promise you all, there will be more :) I'm doing the best I can to get things rolling before the shit really hits the fan come springtime and I have the board exam to tackle.

i artisans.
have u ever considered selling to A? they had Niibo scarves before and yours are definitely more wootable noh?
that said, I need a small to medium sized dopp kit, may I boldly ask if this is something you can do?

[Chinorlz]

Selling to A would be something beyond amazing hahaha

[Pinoy]

wow dude this is pretty incredible!! looking forward to seeing the whole capsule collection, my friend!

[Chinorlz]

I'm on it this weekend :)

[curiouscharles]

this is absolutely delicious, you're legitimately talented.

[Chinorlz]

haha, thanks my friend

There are several more concepts upcoming. Many done, others to be done.

late call but i finally decided to delve into this side of the forum. I mist say i am very impressed with your leather skills. i will assume the techniques used for treating the leather were of course home jobs. did you "object" boil.lol. the whole bag on the stove and then fry it with a hair dryer or something a little more professional?


great work
