Post Steampunk Purse
(Unsure as to whether this is the correct forum)
This is made from two purses I didn't use, (Volcom Stone/Cherokee)
I love how it came out.

If you have any suggestions for anything it could use, such as charms or a certain keychain, that would be lovely. It looks like it needs something...

Is there anyway you can get a picture of it closer up. It looks very pretty, but at the same time, I cannot see many details on it. Maybe it is just me...

If you click on it, it zooms in, so you can get quite a close look. The textiles appear to be corduroy and a heavy cotton/canvas... I think something coggy like a watch movement would look great applied to it between the clasps.

As Darkly says: it is Corduroy, and Black lace cotton overlay.

I found some Steampunk like charms to go with this at Michaels...

I was also was able to find a locket to connect the two pockets in front.

It looked a bit naked. :]

Despite how many pictures it took to do this, it is not as crowded as it looks.
Please excuse the poor picture quality. :/

Don't worry about the quality of the pictures, hun!

I think what you've done looks great! The little charms are a wonderful idea.

Is the locket fully functional? If so, you could put different things in it as a little extra feature...

Very beautiful!

When I read Garrett, I thought of Jareth from Labrynth.
hmmmmm! David Bowie.
