American Craft Week - Lyn Lyndall

Horse in black and white

Leather artist Lyn Lyndall has surpassed herself with her newest creations for the Gallery.  Using her labor intensive methods, the fringe is all cut by hand and the beadwork and lacing is done by hand as well..  The bronze beads are from her great great grandmother's collection.  The paintings are done with acrylic leather paint and include horses, owls, eagles and Celtic designs.  Her Chincoteague pony hand bag will be a sure hit with the horse lovers.  Each bag is lined with a beautiful fabric and  has a pocket for your cellphone or keys.  These bags are one of a kind and signed by Lyn.
