    Weird inspiration

    Honestly most people know what it is and actually like the idea
  3. Thank you! Definitely something I wouldn't have thought to do, thank you. Thank you!

    Weird inspiration

    That's EXACTLY what it is too!!
  8. Here is a keychain design I was playing around with and after I finished it, all I could see was a certain animated starfish running. I posted it anyway and pointed out what it ended up looking like to me and someone commented that they saw something else...that something else is the second keychain. Just goes to show sometimes inspiration comes from out of nowhere to bite you in the butt lol 😆 Ok pictures decided to reverse on me. Brown keychain was what I started with, and the black was the "inspiration" keychain.
  9. Thank you! Thank you!
  10. Thank you!
  11. Thank you! One of AL Stohlman's books. Might have been how to carve or his holster book. Sorry don't really remember off the top of my head
  12. Thank you. I just followed the pattern I'll probably make my own changes along the way at some point lol
  13. Thank you. I figured the "fancy" Chicago screws added a bit of flair rather than just plain ones. Thank you.
  14. Thank you.

    Knife sheath

    I totally understand, I've been painting and drawing since I could hold a pencil and still don't like what I make. Thanks again!!

    Knife sheath

    Hahahaha!!! Now I'm seeing a grizzly with a toothbrush going to TOWN!! Thanks, like I need that vision in my head! Yeahhhhh....patience, something I don't have very much of. But, it's done so I'll try not to do that again any time soon.

    Knife sheath

    Thank you. It's kinda hard having a crappy sheath when people know you do leatherworking. Kinda like the shoemaker with barefoot kids!

    Knife sheath

    Thanks. It just seems to make more sense than doing an offset. Yeah he's a little goofy looking but IMHO it's still recognizable as a deer lol. Yeah it's THICK! About 1/2 an inch on the blade side. Probably should have tried to skive more but was worried about it being too thin. Cemented, left to dry overnight then a diamond point awl. Do not recommend lol. It was not too fun stitching that's for sure!

    Knife sheath

    Thanks. Its actually behind the knife blade, the second picture shows the little "button" that it fits onto to help hold it in place

    Knife sheath

    I upgraded a cheap nylon sheath to something with a little more durability and style. Is it perfect? No, I still haven't been able to reach the level of perfect, but I keep trying! Also this was my first attempt at freehanding a deer head. Looks like a Buck might have gotten into a dairy barn, lol, but overall I'm pretty happy with the final outcome.

    Hair clips

    Well those look better than mine for sure!

    Hair clips

    Thank you for all the great suggestions you have no idea how helpful that is!! I am even worse at "photography" than leatherworking haha, I have the ability to zoom in and out and that is the extent of my skills in that department. I've thought about the butterfly but could never picture the HOW since butterflies are so thin in the middle but seeing your example has been kind of an ah ha moment! I have zero experience with any type of computer aided art programs and do all my quote end quote patterns by hand. Then try it out with leather, sometimes it works a lot of times it dosent and I have to figure out the WHY it dosent. Not always a positive experience. Thank you for permitting me to use your template!! If I can figure out how to use it I just may. I'll probably have to screenshot it and try drawing it out and see where it takes me. Thank you again for all the help you've given me!
