Dog collars and other stuff (2024 - recent)

[Tove09Tilda]

Hi, after seeing all of your amazing work, I feel a bit insecure about showing my work, but maybe I learn a thing or two and might also encourage others to put themselves out there. 

So here are all the collars I made so far (not many): 
1st (mid 2024 after a break in leather work for a few years): 

Then I continued to pad collars: 

First collars for a friend: 

A little colour experiment - we still take out sometimes: 

Several collars I made just for fun and to use up some scraps: 

Here I only did the rhinestone work: 

Another collar: 

Our everyday collar made from Goat and Buttero leather: 

Fancy collars I made some time ago. The blue one was the first one and the grey one was the already "developed" one: 


First set I ever made (for my mums dog): 


And the mist recent collar: 


So that's basically also my whole development within one year of being back into leatherwork.

Those look great. The last one, what's the lettering? How is that done

Hi, thanks. 
Pretty easy. I used fashion leather (round about 1mm) with the newspaper print. First I glued it to a 3.5mm thick strap of vachetta that was already cut to size, trimmed it to the edges, sealed the edges with black edge dye and finished it off with a saddle stitch and some Tokonole. On a note, the stitchmarks needed to be pricked quite deep, as they were otherwise really hard to spot.

Thanks for the information, that's pretty cool.

By the way, I love that picture of the dog lol, he looks like he's thinking about something, what a beautiful dog.
