Hi, Guys

This is the final look of my Mendoza Sets

I made myself a drawstring bag and also a wooden wand

This is the final look of the set

For me the patinas are great, give it an antique/old look.

The closer look of the bag

I made the bag from velvet fabric on the outside and add satin fabric on the inside. So it gives elegant look.
I didn't know how to sealed the end of my silver drawstring. What I did was I just wrap it with some threads. If you have a knowledge in boy-scout world, that knowledge really comes in handy.

Comments are welcome
Enjoy

Cheers

Andre… You made a very good looking kit, you should be proud of what you have there. That is one of the best looking set of Mendoza Cups that I have seen…. I am envious of the patina.

Take care,
Bruce

Bruce,

Thank you for a very nice words

Yes, I'm happy with it. I'm planning to put a logo on the bag, but probably it would be too much.

I hope the elegant look will appeal to the audiences.

Cheers

Andre, very beautiful job with everything that you've done. The patina is perfect, the wand is very elegant and classy, the bag is great, everything is superb!

If I were to do a bit of nitpicking, I would say that those balls don't do the cups any justice. I think that the balls ruin the feel that you are trying to portray. I'm a fan of white balls with cups with a patina, so I think that a simple, no glitter are anything fancy, just a simple set of white knit balls would be ideal. Just my two cents.

GREAT WORK!

Mike,
Thanks for nice words

Yup I'm also think to get another set of balls...
White and probably Phoenix Sunfire.

I'm stiill decide which size to work with.
When I practice in front of my friend using 1 1/8" balls, the balls flash a bit not always thou. still seldom almost rarely. Still I wanna elimanate them

Whose 1" white balls do you think are great to work with ?

Cheers
Andre
