hidepounder Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) I thought you might like to see this new belt pattern. I drew this and finished it in two configurations, for two different belts, at the customers request. These samples will be submitted for pattern approval. The black belt will have black kangaroo laced edges in a Mexican Round Braid. The lighter belt will be stitched and have silver flower centers. Both belts will be two inches wide, tapered to 1", for buckle sets, when finished. I used alcohol dyes and paste antique on both samples....finished with Neat-Lac. I added the nickel and dime for scale. As always, critiques & comments welcome, of course! Bob Edited April 23, 2009 by hidepounder Quote
Members Randy Cornelius Posted April 23, 2009 Members Report Posted April 23, 2009 Very nice as usual, I like the smaller flowers with the Sheridan style but I have a lot of trouble when I try the smaller flowers, does not seem to come out right. So I tend to stay with the larger patterns. RC Quote Randy Cornelius Cornelius Saddlery LaCygne, Kansas Randy & Riley Cornelius Ride Hard, Shoot Fast and Always Tell the Truth...
