The "Amy"

Another one-of-a-kind bag inspired by its one-of-a-kind owner.  Funny, but this one almost made itself.  A simple tote, yet decidedly feminine, with just the right amount of style and function.  Its color reminds me of Amy, as much as it captures the fiery amber heat of late summer in Austin . . .

Watt's Horse Shoe Brand stainless steel buckle.  Hand-hammered
copper rivets and burrs.  

And Now for Something Completely Different

I've been remiss in not posting my work here regularly this summer.  Partially because I've cut back production and partially because I've been lazy.  Enduring the suffocating 100+ degree heat day after day will do that to you . . .

What you see below are a sampling of pieces that depart from my norm.  Call them experimental, if you will, but it's what happens when the creative juices flow.

Small single shoulder backpack from
shrunken bison,  Horween horsehide straps
and solid brass hardware.

Backpack from Scotch grain Horween Chromexcel and horsehide
straps.  Solid brass hardware and antler buttons.

Especially for the lovely Jennifer: Small shoulder bag for a night out-
on-the-town.  Black shrunken bison and Horween Chromexcel.  Just
large enough for wallet, phone and keys.  No cosmetic storage required!
