Hatband

[Leatherimages]

My customer asked me to make a hatband, whatever I wanted. Well that may work for some, but I needed some kind of direction.

She said she liked my leather feathers, and scrolls, so I asked for a color, and she said turquoise.

This is what she got. She loved it!

That would turn heads around here, they love cowboy hats and hatbands, especially the rodeo crowd. I really like the overall style of this, and learning that the feathers were out of leather too just impressed me all the more.

She loved it? Did she pay you a gazillion dollars because it is gorgeous. I'll admit I downloaded two of your pics so I can make one for me......well kinda after i get a hat! Absolutely beautiful work.

Thank you very much Ladies. It is kinda striking, isn't it? I guess turquoise and black isn't too dated. That was my worry, and that it would get dissed because of it. But it's classic I guess.

Your comments are appreciated. And DoubleC, show your work (when you get a hat that is).

Wow. That turquoise really pops . And the feathers look so real.

I have family all over New Mexico, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. Turquoise and black is definitely not out of style here! Love the squash blossom necklaces, heishei, old pawn, Kingsman and Sleeping Beauty turquoise (especially if it is old and natural--not the stabilized or reconstituted chalk stuff). Maybe that's why I find this so appealing.
