I guess I'm all for creating a unique look with everything I do LOL. So during one of those "Phases" I've talked about before, I became a Cigar Box collecting fool.
The more unusual they were, the more I loved them. Since I new where I was going with it I only collected the nice wooden ones. Even though I don't smoke the neighborhood Cigar store became one of my favorite stops for a while LOL. You know you're doing too much when the people not only working in the store, but visiting, know you on site LOL. So needless to say, I have lots of those things still hanging around. But I do like to pull them out every once in a while, dig through my Jumbo Zip bag of purse handles, hinges and other metal adornment and create a fun box or purse. The ones shown here were all created for other people. The top one was for a lady to give as a gift to her niece. What fun that was. Oh here's the other side of that one.
This one I made for a lady that dreamed of a Pink Harley. It's called Harley Girl. It says Dream on the top. The top is a glass door knob. It's fun to put those small locks on these.
This one was a part of a Bridal Set. This was for her to keep her Garter and other small items in. I also made their Wedding Books. They were very happy, whew, so was I. I guess I kinda get attached to everything until it is out of my site...and then I just look at pictures every once in a while LOL.
Every once in a while I would pull out the Sewing Machine and go at it. LOL. Usually it was purses, but I have ventured into other things at times LOL. When my daughter was in Kindgergarten and First Grade I made everything from clothes, to pajamas to Comforters LOL. Wow... those were the days. Now, I look at the Sewing Machine a lot and sometimes I move it to psyche myself out!
Heavy duty! Trust me. Okay okay, I made this one from Upholstery Fabric :-)
I made the strap especially for carrying it over the shoulder
