Brass piece completed and posted off.



Had a devil of a time finding the right dye for the tassels, but am very pleased at the final result.

Wish I'd had more time to document the whole process, but have been squeezed lately.
Last minute change from white to red lacing on the front. I also ended up rebuilding the whole rear 3/4 of the bag. The original leather wasn't flexible enough and tended to pull and pucker at the seams.



I ended up switching to deerskin.

The whole bag is lined in red suede pigskin.

As always, constructive commentary is welcome.
