Top to bottom:

Stanley Kubrick and Jack Nicholson on the set of The Shining
Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese on the set of Taxi Driver

IWish, thanks so much...these are just awesome. :heart:
All great images...adding The Game is a total master stroke...Fincher brought out the best in Douglas and created an underrated masterpiece....

These weight bags are SO awesome, really...when I get back from vacation, I'm putting a request in!!

Seriously, The Game is so very underrated, and Fincher and Douglas just nailed it completely...one of my favorite films of all time. Definitely pick some images out for some bags and get an order in, these are super cool/useful.

Sue (IWish) worked up a way to make the bags self closing and yes you would fill them yourself. She posted a video in the other thread, but I can't seem to locate it.

Edit:
Here it is

I've made 4 sets of the new self closing bags and have two more sets for giveaways. I just need to get caught-up on a few things before I post the link for the sign-up...few more days.

More info on the bags. I sorta' feel dumb posting videos, but I can't think of a better way to demonstrate.

Yup choose Mystery Bags when ordering and she only does the designs once so they are all one offs!
I do consider regulars and variants as two separate versions. Just want to put this *out there* because I just finished a color (reg version) of some of the UM's.

The gems are glass and make heavier bags. The bags can also be hand-washed, if necessary (including bags w/images) when using the glass gems.

Yep, saw your order, hulings. Thanks for your order!

Those came out really nice!

One of these days I will buy a set, just need to think of something good. Was thinking of doing a set of different artists versions of Batman. Maybe Bob Kane, Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Darwyn Cooke?
