Contamination


It seems like a lot of mini bloggers have caught a quickly spreading occupation of making bags these days. I also got it. So I went to the leather shop "Læderiet" to day to get some material. I could have stayed there for a very long time, just looking around and enjoying the smell, but my husband was waiting in the car ;-)
I found some nice things, some of these are colored snake skins, others are imitation made on goat skin. Here are only a couple of them, I think I will have enough for serveral bags, some purses and if I get the courage, some shoes too..
The picture is a little bit too shiny.

  3. Wonderful leather you've got, we don't have any leather shops anywhere near - I have to try some from the internet. And welcome to the bag mania :D

  4. Thank you so much! The leather shop is placed just outside Aarhus in Denmark, where I live, and it has an internet shop with an english version too. You can visit it on: http://www.laederiet.dk/Index_engelsk.asp
    But of course the special things are not in the main catalogue.
    Janne, the snake skin is thin like paper/slangeskindet er tyndt som papir.
    They had a "lucky bag" (don´t know the word in english)with 10 skins for 200 dkr + 25 % tax
    And a very nice guy showed me the leatherware, asked me what I would use it for, and I admitted that I am making minis. So was he, so he got this blog-address..Very funny!
    Love, Susanne

  7. Holy snake (eller hellige makrel)!!! They are just lovely... Especially the 'amber' colored.

    Are you serious that one of the guys in the leathershop are making minis? I thought they all where into western-/wiking- or kinky black leather?

  11. Gorgeous skins -- what a find! I can't wait to see what you make from them. Oh, and an idiomatic term for "lucky bag" in English would be "grab bag" :)

  12. Thanks again!
    I knew that "lucky bag" would be a danishm, so thanks for the new word "grab bag" in english. I would associate very differently on that word, meaning that translation is not easy.

  21. Susanne, please let me know if you find a tutorial to making shoes, I also want to try making it myself. I know, the shoes I bought are made perfect, she's an artist, if I had a tutorial, I couldn't make them like she did ;-)
