I bought some black roller buckles from Ohio Travel Bag the other day (1"). I wasn't too impressed with the quality, but they looked the same as the ones in the link above.

Awhile back (maybe half a year) I bought a few hundred steel rivets with gunmetal plating. They were a very pleasant, dark metallic grey in color, and I became rather fond of them. Unfortunately, I neglected to keep a record of where I initially picked them up and now that I've run out, I cannot find any more of them anywhere I was hoping someone might be able to direct me towards some rivet suppliers (double-capped). Thanks!!

To PM Johanna, just click on "My Controls" (upper right-hand corner of this page), then click on "compose new message" (left-hand side of that page). Under "recipient's name" type "Johanna". Then, in the message box, just ask her to unlock the adult board and you should be all set. We look forward to seeing your work ^__^

Looks nice ^_^ I particularly like the pouch in the front. Unusual design. ^__^

I like it ^_^ It is very crisp!

Very well done ^_^ I particularly like the veins in the webbing. Nice attention to detail!

Phantom ^_^ looks nice, and I agree with Scouter -- those eyes are great!

Well, the outfit really is meant to be worn over normal clothes (at least that's how I wear it ^_^). My that would be revealing, lol ^_^ I'm not sure how well a male model would work for it...hmm...don't know what I'd do about the boobies. The tan would be refreshing though, she tends to blind me when the flash goes off >.< Thanks ^_^ I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you the breakdown of BDSM outside of the naughty section c.c but you can always google it ^_^ Sorry, I'm not much good with cameras If you could tell me what angles you wanted to see it from I would do my best to oblige you ^_^

Thanks ^__^

Excellent masks ^_^ I'm still partial to the pointy demonish look with the long spikes on top and bottom (such as in the first), but they are all really lovely, particularly that last one! How long did it take you to make it?

Awww! That's so sweet! I'm sure she must love them! ^__^

They look very nice ^_^ Maybe some spikes over the eyes and down the bridge of the nose? I think that would look cool.

Wow, that looks really professional! Good job! ^__^

Awesome masks ^_^ They are all really neat, though I'd be inclined to jump on the bandwagon, so to speak, and say that I like the last one best. The long spikes look really sweet ^__^

Here are a few pictures of an outfit I made several months ago. It took way too long, lol ^__^

Hey, my mom has a black leather jacket that she absolutely adores, but it is getting kind of worn out and has some scuff marks along the hems. I would like to fix it up for her, but I'm not sure of how to go about it in such a way that the repair won't be noticeable. I was thinking of just using some black dye to fill in the scuffs, but I'm not sure if it will end up being exactly the same color and I'm also concerned that the dye will run/speckle when the coat gets wet. Any suggestions?

That's a pretty good idea ^_^ I think I'll do that the next time that I need to cut around a template so it stops slipping and sliding everywhere. I seem to have a lot of issues with things sliding around when I'm trying to cut them : p

Good idea ^_^ How do you get the glue off afterward though?

You're too hard on yourself ^_^ It looks amazing!

Looks nifty ^_^ good job!

Thanks everyone ^_^ I appreciate all of your prompt and helpful replies. It looks like I will have to just go back to cutting the soft leather by hand and leave the strap cutter to the thicker leathers I work with. Good to know that I'm not using it improperly ^_^

Well, the basic one's what I have ^_^ I did start with a straight edge on the leather, and the blade is new. The difficulty is keeping the leather from bunching up against the cutter handle (even when I go really slowly it still does that with the 2-3 oz leathers). I tightened down the bolts and such as much as I could without preventing the leather from fitting between the pieces altogether, but it doesn't seem to help much beyond preventing further bunching around the blade. I just don't know what to do with it : p

^_^;; It sounds like you have a far better cutter than I do. There aren't any rollers, though now that I consider it, that would probably result in much better cuts. I just grab the portion that has already been cut and drag it through manually.
