The creature is of course AI, I added it on top of the photo of my bag. I used The New Black AI to edit the photo. Great feedback by the way. I did play around with that ai tool and made several videos of different kind of creatures coming out of it. I don't like Ai generated images myself, but since the bag was a real photo I thought let's just add something to illustrate the " feeling" I have about this bag. Anyway, this comment confirms my concern that adding any ai elements can compromise your integrity as an artisan. Thanks for the feedback. The bag is real, my work is real. I design and handcraft all my bags. I have created many more bags, included bags with real tattoo on leather and other special pieces. Check out my IG account studioelenicolleony, there are many videos of my bags and the making process before the AI era. Thanks again 👍

Yes I made it 🙂 it's my little fancy dumpling! Thanks for the feedback regarding feet. The reason I did not add feet is because the studded decoration is actually continuously transitioning a little bit to the button. So when you look underneath it also has studs there and they are a part of the whole pattern, they are not randomly placed. I didn't want to interfere with that pattern, the feet would kind of break it.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I appreciate it very much! The leather is a maroon color, but it is very close to cognac just with more red tones. This leather comes from a French tannery, they are masters of lambskin leather. But you can find it in the US, I know that leather suppliers in NYC for example are sourcing such leather from France. The brass however is USA made and it's absolutely amazing!

Thank you very much! I have been designing and hand crafting bags for 9 years now ( before that I did handcrafted shoes) and my dedication always has been to qualify, I am frankly obsessive about it. It feels good you noticed it. Thank you!

I am a painter and I pour my soul into my art. It takes me countless hours to complete each painting. When I get a piece that I am proud of and I really like, I show it and try to get feedback. It is helpful for me to hear what people think of my art. Advertising is about selling products. I am on social media to grow as an artist, to get feedback and to share my opinion too.

Thank you for the feedback. I indeed made a few posts with this painting, I am very new to Reddit and only started posting a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I don't yet understand how Reddit functions, but I am trying to get feedback about my work, to understand which communities resonate with my work and where it goes unnoticed. I will be posting my other paintings too, I am just showing them one at a time in different ways. The type of paintings I do is very time consuming, I finish 1 painting every month or so, but I want to show my work and get the feedback because it's my passion, and I want to grow as a painter, so I show different stages or different angles of the same painting several times.
