ACM 2012 Purse

After the long post about the trip, I guess I should show my entry.  The rules stated "any purse smaller than 10" by 14" and not made from a kit".  Pretty broad range and it brought many different styles to the table.  Here's what I came up with.  It was my first purse so I learned a lot for the next one.  It was a carving contest so I tried to cover as much as possible with tooling.

The purse will be showcased with other entries from the Art of the Cowboy Makers contest at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs from now until September.  If you are in the area, drop by and check it out in person.  As always, critique and comments welcome.  Take care, RW
