A sneaky peak

Just a sneaky peak of things to come...

Blue faux leather bird with cut out pattern on feathers and tail made into a keyring

I picked up some faux leather pieces in various colours and smoothness and decided that I needed some new things in the shop so I've started by cutting these birdies out.  I shall fashion them into things that can be worn or used so I can sell them in the shop.  What do you think of them?

So I chopped up the bag and realised that it wasn't faux leather after all but real leather, yay!  I drew round a bird motif I've got here and then cut out a design from my head on it's feathers, this one will be mine all mine as it's based on that motif and don't want to plagiarise, but anything else I make from this bag will be wholly my own design so I can sell them.

I'm thinking some butterflies, owls and maybe some cats and possibly trees and leaves and flowers of course!  I'm really excited by this as it looks pretty darn good even if I do say so myself!  I've also gained useful things in salvage from the chopped up bag so it's win win!
