    Christmas present for the Mrs.

    OK, so I've done a lot and haven't posted in a while- mainly because what I've been doing is nothing particularly new. Just flasks, sheaths, etc. But for Christmas this year, I got a little more creative than usual for my wife. She needed a new purse, we needed a new product line at work for the upcoming Renaissance festival season, there's this new research and development tax credit... so it seemed like the thing to do- make my wife a purse, and at the same time design a new product, AND get us a tax credit! I used the Albannach tartan. What do you all think?



    The inside is made using the leather from the cutout where the tartan is at.

    I think it looks very sharp. Nice job.

    ...sigh... I posted this in the wrong forum. Thanks, all.

    We all replied to it, so it's not like we noticed it being misplaced.

    Since you mentioned going into production, wouldn't you have trouble getting such small pieces of tartan if it were a rare one, or would you just limit the choices?
