Was introduced to leatherwork as a bespoke process that created by an atelier, which results in pieces of art. Shaping my approach to leatherwork. As noted in previous posts, like to integrate patterned silk as lining.

Starting a new project that will incorporate a traditional zipper wallet with a flap that wraps around the wallets body, and fastened in the back via sew in magnets. When opened, the flap will be unwrapped from the wallets body to reveal the patterned silk; hidden artwork :). Eventually, will likely replace sew in magnets with Hermes turn lock.

So, here is a list of supplies associated with the project. Feel it pertinent to say, I'm in no way associated with any of the listed products/supplie(r)s nor am I receiving anything from them in any way. Simply sharing information. Best.

Quick note that the CraftMangus paper printed pattern and WUTA acrylic pattern

don't exactly match, but complement each other.
