I’m very pleased with my first completed leather project. I have absolutely no experience with leather and I was able to make this! Delighted with my new Better Together Clutch.
Here are some pictures in natural light:

Wow! For a first attempt with leather, that looks absolutely amazing! Love the colors on that. Normally I’d show these photos to my wife but if I did, she would totally expect me to be able to do the same!

Well done! Beautiful.
Did you hand paint this piece?
Wow–gorgeous colors! Did you purchase it as is or paint it??
Thanks! Yes, I painted it by hand!

Thanks! I started with thick proof grade leather and painted it after cutting it!

I’m incredibly impressed by your painting skills. You took this clutch to a whole new level. Can’t wait to see what you make next!

Wow–it came out just beautifully. Can I ask what kind of paint you used? It’s rare to see colors this vivid on leather without a sticky, plasticky feel to it.
These were Jacquard alcohol inks, sealed with a floor finisher (like Mop n Glo).
