 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. http://typhoidxxlo.deviantart.com/#/d2t283wIf 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...

 Re: Steampunk Purse
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...

 Re: Steampunk Purse
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.

 Re: Steampunk Purse
As Darkly says: it is Corduroy, and Black lace cotton overlay. I found some Steampunk like charms to go with this at Michaels... http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad30 ... 010221.jpghttp://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad30 ... 010222.jpgI was also was able to find a locket to connect the two pockets in front. http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad30 ... 010223.jpgIt 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. :/

 Re: Steampunk Purse
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...
