Members Handstitched Posted July 6, 2022 Members Report Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Going through my files , theres a heap of stuff I forgot I made. I click on and think " yeh, I remember that" . Anyone else have that experience ? I think its important to take pics of you're work. It's a good reference, good for promotion/ advertising/ showing off, and perhaps helps to look for any mistakes and learn from them . I've spotted at least one on the sheath. Theres a few more in those pics I'm sure . Theres another on one of the stubby holders, in fact theres two. Enjoy the pics HS Edited July 6, 2022 by Handstitched Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members johnnydb Posted July 6, 2022 Members Report Posted July 6, 2022 Each piece is always a learning experience....and a new way to invent the wheel. It takes about 20 times of doing the same item repeatedly to get it finally done right....well to my satisfaction at least. But usually by that point I'm bored with making it and move on to something else. Yeah, I'm never satisfied either. But your work looks great to me. Nice stitching, tooling and dyeing. Quote
PastorBob Posted July 6, 2022 Report Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Yep. I try to take pics along the way as well. Always fun to see the progress as you go. Thanks for sharing. Nice work.

And each piece is also unique for the client or buyer , and also unique for those making them . I think I can say I'm getting a bit better with the air brush . I have a sheath on the bench ( 'TBF'....to be finished) I used the air brush on it. . I want to spend more time using the air brush to learn more. 16 hours ago, PastorBob said: Always fun to see the progress as you go. Thanks for sharing. Nice work. Thank you I have some pieces in an old shoe box under my bench . My earliest....not so good 'learning' examples. When I look at those compared to what I can make now , I think ' holy crap.....look how far I have come !! ' . I am a lot more confident today than I was back then , 17 years ago. The studded collars ? I make those purely for the fun & enjoyment of leather....and because I can....now . If they don't sell, it doesn't matter. They make good advertising pieces But I sold them LOL HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members battlemunky Posted July 7, 2022 Members Report Posted July 7, 2022 Those cane toad pieces kill me. Thanks for taking us down the lane with you. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted July 8, 2022 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2022 @chuck123wapati & @battlemunky Thank you very much . A few faves in there. I do really enjoy the ' Celtic' designs. Fiddly, and take a while, make you go ' cross-eyed ' but the love the end result, and, the studded collars, (basically, anything with lots of studs) You can really go to town with a lot of chrome & studs & spots* . They're just great fun and you're only limited by your imagination, and get a lot of attention at my stall . * I have a pair of high platform " goth" boots in my workshop that I bought for $5 at a charity shop. TBS.....'to be started', but they will be radical HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
