I love wine with a good meal, and over the years I have been lucky to appreciate a not-so-expensive bottle that still had robust flavor! So what has given me great joy has been putting that bottle of celebration into a beautiful hand-made, one-of-a-kind wine bag. Below are some images of my latest creations. If anyone is interested in learning more about the process I have used in creating them, please ask and I will lay it on you. Also, note that they are for sale ranging from the $50s to $70s.

Some of the things that I love about making bags is the layering of the many kinds of leathers; it is like creating multiple landscapes. There is something very soothing when they all harmonize together. On the other side - I hammer, push and pull the copper into shape. After these strong movements, I get to see what shapes have created; most times a fun surprise. I joyously buff to a shiney finish.
Thank you for taking a peek. There are more to come.
