I've had a bit of a hiatus in my leathercrafting recently. I designed this bag back at the end of May and quickly cut out the pieces, attached lining leather etc. then I just stalled for over a month. I got rather disallusioned with my design and the thickness of the leather (especially once lined) and was thinking it just wasn't going to go together properly and wouldn't work. I have a fairly limited number of larger leather panels so I was a bit depressed I had just wasted some.

And so it sat there, cut out but not in any way assembled for over a month. Until the weekend where I finally got some motivation. I had cut my dry spell short the week before by making some little trinkets for a gift (a simple passport cover and a little bookmark) and thought this was the time to get back on this horse too.

Some of my original fears did come to light, I had real issues skiving some of the leather at the join (the front and rear are separare pieces), I need a better skiving tool really and the lining and glue didn't help matters (I should have left a portion unlined). The leather also didn't shape to the gusset I made quite right either, I definitely need to learn how to properly measure for a gusset.

Desipite all those issues I'm actually quite happy with it. The overall shape and design is quite pleasing, the colours worked far better than I thought they would and I like not only the colour contrast but there is a texture difference between the red and blue leathers.

So yeah, really happy I finished this project, it was by far the most longest and most laborious project I've done so far and I've learnt a lot of stuff to apply to future designs.

Hi there !

I'm looking for info on what kind of paint I should use to paint on a computer made of aluminum (Framework Laptop 13)

I'd like the paint to resist time but also since I'm bad with my hands to be able to remove with alcohol or something, any ideas What would be appropriated ?

thanks !
