So there it is the old bag. What with all the compromises it is not the bag I wanted. The leather is too stiff which is the main thing wrong with it as far as I am concerned. Still I enjoyed doing it and I took it to work on Friday and the cleaners liked it and I have a commission from one of them!!! So I will make her a going out type bag, much smaller, softer leather hopefully she will like it when I eventually make it.
And the old goat. I forgot to include goats on the previous picture and they were a very important part of my growing up. I would wander the hills with the goatherd, and the goatherd boy. I would ride on the back of the billy goat (very bony) and play with the kids. Very Heidi.
So my last painted porthole has of course got a goat eating the licence.
From inside the boat you can see that the piece of paper is apparently British Waterways headed paper. However it doesn't show through outside as I put it on at the end and the white paint is very opaque. Never mind I get to enjoy the joke even if passers by don't.
She is called Geraldine.
