Working Out New Ideas

This is going to be a messenger bag....a new adventure for me. I thought about what I would want to use if I were going to take a overseas trip. I would want purse that would be secure but carry a lot of good stuff. Also, carry my book! I never leave home on a trip with out my current book. Now, if only my shoulder will be strong enough.
This is a piece of leather that I had in the drawer and I did like the shape and the color. I am waiting for some brass rings. It will take a while to finish but it will be fun.
