The Daily Planet – Afternoon Edition

A couple years ago, I adapted an old motorcycle bar bag pattern for use as a purse. Because it looked like the kind of thing I imagine Jimmy Olsen carries around, I called it The Daily Planet Purse. True to its namesake, it fit a camera and a small notebook perfectly.

Anyway, this version was [...]

Toting Technology

This I-Pad holster took up much of my time yesterday so I’m behind on the cuffs, but plan to work on the mountain avens of the NWT tomorrow.

Anywhooooooo this is a custom order for a fellow artist. Based on the same design as my chalk bag, only done to the dimensions of an I-Pad.

The Murphy’s Law Bag

Name change to the Ocean Playground Purse – absolutely everything that could have gone wrong with this bag did go wrong. It is the world’s most disappointing daughter. I never want to see it again, but I’ll probably have to stare at it every day for the rest of my life because I’ll never be [...]

Ebb and Low

Low posting. Sorry. I’ve been struggling with the same G-D bag for what feels like years.

I’ll post pictures of the thing tomorrow and then I’m never looking at it again.

Une Baleine

I was waiting on leather paints to come in at Tundra and because I couldn’t (wait that is), I started staining and spraying. I knew this was a mistake the minute I did it, but they don’t not call me Amy [...]

Reunited And It Feels So Good!

I’ve been working on leather all the dang day and even though there’s a serious ache in my shoulder (throbbing to the tap tap tap of my mallet) and a crick in my neck (from cocking my head to the right and judging finished pieces), I feel gooooooood. I missed this while I was absorbed [...]

Under the Sea

This may not look like much now, but give me a week or so.

I’m going to whip this into some serious shape – the Ocean Playground Purse. Inspired by that Radiolab story with the humpback whale, only featuring a blue whale because they are more conducive to tooling. The humpbacks just have so many [...]

Awesomer than a Speeding Bullet

An old Tandy sissybar bag design – meant for motorcycles, retrofitted for bodies, intended for camera nerds. I call it the Daily Planet Purse.

This is my first attempt and there are already some things I’ll do differently on my [...]
