Risna and Emmie - 4 days Beginners Leather Bag Making workshop

Meeting Risna and Emmie for the 1st time who participated in the 4 days Beginners Leather Bag Making workshop feels like having friends over from Malaysia. The ladies are colleagues as well as the best of friends who often travel and learn new things together. They requested for a more feminine bag so I came up with a different shape to suit their preference but still covers all the fundamentals of creating a 100% hand crafted leather bag. 
While Risna is calm and collected despite certain challenges normally faced by most beginners new at the craft, she never broke a sweat, Emmie is detailed and strived for the best she could be. Nevertheless, the two ladies are truly fun to be around with.
