Members rookie Posted March 17, 2009 Members Report Posted March 17, 2009 I have had these boots for many years and I would wear a black belt with them. I decided to make a belt that matches the boots better. Quote "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway."

Members rookie Posted March 17, 2009 Author Members Report Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Black Background, oxblood on flowers with a black antique cream over the top. I burnished the edge then sealed it before I started. I mixed a couple of drops of black dye with the oxblood, just to darken it up a little. On certain parts of the tooling I stained heavier to get some depth into the belt. Edited March 17, 2009 by rookie Quote "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway."
TomSwede Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 Very good looking belt!! The edga looks very good in natural and gives a very nice framing to the floral work. Nice match to your boots!!!
