Description
Large project 2 of 3 that has been consuming my life.
I'm a junior in college and I'm going to my first high school prom next friday. Anyway, I promised to make something to match Large Project 3 of 3 which I'm still making. (Now complete, see the chainmaille tie in the gallery)
The body is half persian 3-in-1 sheet 6 in machine cut 18swg 1/4" ID bright aluminum. The clasp is some cheapo nickel plate bar (All I could find on short notice) through a 16swg 5/16" ID bright aluminum ring. The central seam uses 3/4 Persian to connect the two opposing sheets and the side seams use 3 connections like this to manage the sudden severe bend. The bottom of the bag is sewn up with euro-type connections and the cover is made from strands of GSG stitched together with the same euro-type connections.
The crystals are swarovski sapphire 4 and 6mm bicones.
The handle is 4-sided spiral roundmail (regular roundmail is made from 6 rows of e4in1 and appears to have 3 sides. This is 8 rows and appears square) in 18swg 5/32" ID machine cut bright aluminum. It has a 1/8" brass rod inside it to keep it rigid. The handle maintains the shape of the bag.
