Welcome To Our Humble Abode


It is time to introduce the place in which I craft. I truly believe that all artists are effected by their surrounds, so thankfully with the mixture of creativity amongst my family we have created an oasis. Buried within the trees lies this beautiful home on top the hill. But sadly, only a few weeks, and I will be moving to Savannah, GA, leaving my craft comfort home behind. So of course I found it important to show my readers our welcoming place for creative minds.

Handmade Rustic Purple Leather Clutch





This is the new addition to the team of rustic leather clutches.  The branding on the front of this bag was from the cattle ranch from where this particular hide came from. Yes I am indeed an animal lover, but while many discard these pieces, I take great pride in using every aspect of the material. 

With any material, the user should show great respect and admiration. No resource is endless, and most certainly natural resources, considered once living resources, should be used with great care and veneration. One must understand the actual presence of life that these natural materials hold is extremely precious.

The Interior of this clutch has no lining because even the back side of a hide is stunning. I purposefully chose to expose the inner-workings of this handmade product to frame all aspects of this exquisite hide.
