Hand tooled/dyed river rocks and yellow leaves decorative this mini handbag. It’s lined in golden chèvre leather and comes with black hardware. This little art piece holds a cell phone, small wallet and keys. Shoulder strap is optional but should you want one added, a black cotton weave strap will be added at no charge. If you want to upgrade to black leather it wil be 60$ extra. Black rock/pebble leather will be 150$. And add a week to ship time. This bag can be made in many variations! If you’re interested in this one, or would like to discuss one for yourself in another color or theme, please email me
A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Making things inspired by the elements. Art, stones, gems, wood. fire , water, and nature.
All of my creations are meant to be one of a kind items. They are uniquely conceptualized and designed. If you see an texture or color or effect that inspires you, it may be possible to do the same technique or color or effect on a different item that I make. For instance perhaps you like the texture of a handbag and you love it on a journal cover in a different color. If that’s the case please reach out for a quote. For many of these items it’s not really possible for me to make again in the same way. But if you see something you like I might have some thing similar that I can do.
I use many techniques to create these effects including but not limited to hand tooling, stamping, tattooing and specific dye processes. I use a variety of leathers in my craft including veg tanned leather’s, chrome tanned leather and exotic leather. Exotic leather varies wildly depending on quality grade and size. I may have to talk to the tanneries for available supplies before giving you a quote on a custom item. If you have any questions please reach out. I currently only ship to the US by USPS or UPS signature required.

For Scott's WalletI had no idea what to expect when I posted this project. Katie was the first to respond and I could not be happier to have selected her to complete my project. Her communication was better than 5 stars. It was 10 stars! The communication was steady and informative throughout the process. Katie is smart and articulate, which are both very important characteristics when you are trying to make a custom item. More than one designer/craftsperson may have the skills, but if you cannot communicate clearly back and forth about what purchaser wants and limitations that the designer faces (in my case, the limitations of what leather can do), the project is doomed to fail. Katie and I had zero difficulty communicating. She understood exactly what I wanted, and she communicated with me in a clear way that made me appreciate certain things critical to a successful conclusion of the project. I am thrilled with the result and I highly recommend Katie!

For Checking in on project.While he tried the boots didn’t fit correctly, color wasn’t orange like the shade chosen but pink. Overall boot quality isn’t great. Have them away as I wouldn’t wear due to problems with boot.
