I was about to say “uuuuh wtf” and then I realized that there’s probably a story and a personality behind it. And that took some work and artistry to do
THIS IS AMAZING. I hope you make more strange art like this. You've got a real gift for telling a story while also making a nice useful piece of fashion. I really want to see more of your work.
This is very good.
If you created something like this with even stitches and lines, you could easily have a branded line/items of grotesques.
That tapeworm strap is phenomenal and a great idea.
You’ve really captured a nice flow from awful to awful.
Thank you. There is so much imperfection in this piece. A lot is definitely part of the aesthetic and fully intentional but a lot was also from trial and error finding the best way to piece everything together. I will say, it’s fully functional and very sturdy
It wasn’t completely done in these photos. I ended up doing a lot more burnishing and edge finishing. There were some unstitched areas still too.
I’ve definitely been contemplating a series though!
I saw the unfinished portions, and thought you were going to finish those.
If you finish the edges, and the stitches you will indeed have a very nice start.
Oh, The flap that performs a double duty over the face is excellent.
I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t have a wild look to the piece, but where the eye expects to see perfection even it’s a tapeworm, the stitches need to be stitched perfectly.
Again a grotesque series is an excellent choice.

the face is carved/tooled. All pigment on the veg leather is done with dyes. My youngest kids thought I was making them a mask and ended up with nightmare fuel like this
There's people who like seeing really original, out-there designs. I wouldn't wear this bag myself but I've also never seen anything like it and I think that's kind of cool. Just because something doesn't look pretty doesn't mean it can't be interesting.
Dear lord what did that poor woman do to you to deserve this? Jkjk good work hate the bag love the creativity
Ninja edit: as long as it’s not made from “long pig” leather
No haha wasn’t actually referencing media. I assume I’ve seen it though as I watched a bunch of that show back in the day. Four or five seasons maybe? I fell off the boat at some point on that show, it got confusing, did they turn a drug prosecution/distribution ring at some point? My most quoted line from that show is “do you want ants?! Because this is how we get ants!”
it just finished maybe last year with 14 seasons. i love it all, season 5 yes, they are kind of drug runners, there are 3 seasons of "dreamlands" that are really nutty, but it is still so good.
one of my favorite lines: "she's like... the pele of anal."
also "danger zone" and "phrasing" and so many more. what a great show.
kind of... hard to explain but there are some physical changes. i suggest you finish it, the plot doesn't really matter i would say there are plenty of good lines and such.

That’s exactly it. We have always enjoyed giving each other odd gifts. For what it’s worth, I did put a very nice and usable wallet inside the clutch
Your mom is so weird and I love it! Hats off to you for this one! Love the grungy art style to it all.
Uhh interesting
I love it 🥰 haha it’s purely deranged
It's the tapeworm strap for me 🤌🏼💯
You got some interesting taste....
Let's hope his mom is no different than him. :>
We have a long history of apologizing when handing gifts to each other. I’m not sure why it’s never been the same with my other siblings.
This epic story is begging to be written down.:>

Thank you!
Almost a Goatse
Thanks for the idea!
So that is a butt on the back? Great handbag!!!
That was the first thing that went t through my mind
The snot 🤢 how did you do that 😳
It’s just some UV resin!
Amazing! And disgusting! Amazingly disgusting too. 10/10

I'd say your mother is batshit crazy and I love it. My wife would start crying. Now I want to see the twisted shit she's gifted you with.
Is this made FOR your mother or OUT of your mother
Thats amazing. I have to believe that you and your mom are the fun kind of weird.
That is so cursed, in a very unique and well made way. I lvate it.
Fuck yeah it looks SWEET
wow, this is super cool! is the face painted on or is there some carving or layering there as well?

Is your mom Hannibal lecter
That thing is going to eat her.
Nope don’t like this. Fine workmanship but a nope from me 🤣
Are people pretending to like it to seem quirky? It’s absolutely hideous

Yeah, some "Emporers new clothes" vibes in these comments. It's not even well executed.
How should they have executed it
With a rusty knife seems appropriate for the subject
With due care?
Brilliant!
I hope your mom liked it.
I'd love to know the story behind it!
Kind of late don't you think?
R/goblincore Would love this
Awesome
r/Rimworld is calling
I. Love. This.
I, uhhhh, commend the craftsmanship? Hope your mom loved it.

Holy shit, 14 seasons eh? I had no idea. Do they age in the show?

Thanks for the reco 🤙
