I find if I paint what I am making, as limited as my skills are, it helps me to understand what I am doing. I am not working from a pattern or a prototype, but just a general sense of what the piece should look like and what the leather seems to dictate.  The top is my new carry-on bag, quite a big one.  I combined leather remnants and a black pebbly jacket.  The bottom two, espresso and grape, as I have photographed before.
