Leather 83 - Hip Purse 1

Carved and tooled on 4-5oz leather.

Got a neat little hip purse pattern from a book by Lisa Galvin (not sure on the last name, think that's right, and, no, I am not heading to the car to get the book to check.)... and I really wanted to make it.

I decided to tool this piece, since I cut it out crooked... uber fail.

Also wanted to play with some of the suggestions from that watercolor tutorial that was on DD a few days ago: [link]

It's amazing, check it out.

So! Enjoy yay another al stohlman rose with my flair.. I like his roses lol. They're closer to my style so I don't feel near as bad continuing to be non-realistic and non-traditional when I choose not to.
