Handmade Leather Bags

My mediums of choice at present are glass, precious metal art clay, and leather.  I create one-of-a-kind leather handbags and pouches. The bags are created from the shaft of either new or vintage cowboy boots and supple deer skins.  I embellish these creations with my own handmade torch work glass beads and precious metal clay charms.  Some of the bags are created with semi-precious gemstones with pewter accents.  Each handbag has an adjustable beaded strap strung on 40 lb. test, nylon coated beading wire.  These straps are removable and can be worn as a unique wearable art necklace.  Bracelets and earrings to match maybe special ordered.

I have designed a line of cell phone and eyeglass pouches made of deerskin with beautiful and unique beaded straps, also strung on 40 lb. test wire. These straps are also removable and maybe worn as a necklace, bracelet or belt.

My studio is the home to cell phone charms, zipper pulls, handbag bridles, eyeglass harnesses, badge clip lariats, beaded pens and magnifying glasses.  These items are all embellished with my torch work beads and precious metal charms.

My creations are all treasures that I enjoy sharing with those who appreciate my work and are conversion pieces wherever they are worn.
