Artist's Comments

Cowhide on front and cowsuede on back. 24mm by 18mm brown jasper cabochon, 15mm brass concho. 100% multi-colored (mostly red), striped, heavy-weight Guatemalan cotton lining. Bag is 7 3/4" long by 5 1/8" wide. Strap is 36 1/2" long. One of three southwestern-inspired small bags that I made expressly for charity events -- one I donated to a National Public Radio auction and the other is My Ambiguously Gay Pony. The backside of this shoulderbag is all suede, same as the top of this side.

See Silent Auction & Contest for the AC Gallery

Starting Bid: $10

Whee, new work! Looks really great. How much time were you making it?

Wow, nice bag. :thumbsup:

I wish the picture were larger/brighter so I could see the agate more.

Any idea what kind of agate it is?

I'm sort of into rocks.

I really don't remember, but most leatherworks I make take 1 to 6 months. This I made with a few others and I made them all at the same time, within the space of about a month or so, I guess. They are small and don't have interior pockets so they take less time to make. Was also in a hurry because I needed one right away to donate to an NPR auction -- this bunch was all meant for charity donations.

Lol, I knew someone would ask me what kind of agate it is, but I forgot :brainless:. I will try to remember what it is though and then put it in the artist comments. :nod:

It's a technique that I devised about 10 years ago, did a bit of trial and error until I got it to be secure and to look the way they look today.
