USEFUL BAGS, AND HOW TO MAKE THEM

"USEFUL BAGS, AND HOW TO MAKE THEM" is an article from the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT NO. 561, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 2, 1886. Written in, well, an 1886 flowery kind of style. Very cool. I think it may be of help to us while making Dr. Henry Killinger's Magic Murder Bag (basically a doctor's bag) for Halloween.

a quote from the article regarding the selection of materials:
"... has a good appearance for some time, but, like all articles of imitation, it has only cheapness to recommend it..."

it's a good thing we got authentic naugahyde to make our bag!





we still have several props and costumes to finish, in addition to the bag. finished items will get posted soon!
