Members Rawhide Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 Here's a new one from Peter Main... ...here is a belt recently completed. It is filigreed, backed with a pebble-grain black kangaroo....the lacing is also kangaroo, dyed black. The 'finger-cuts' on the reverse are shaded with tan to make them look more interesting. This belt also has a thick filler, to give it a 'rounded' look. Note that the belt is not filigreed in the area where the five holes are...this would weaken the belt. ...the shading on the back was done with a sable brush and tan spirit dye. The running loop is secured with what I call a 'keeper-keeper'...this is made from the same kangaroo leather that was used as a background behind the filigree work. Peter Quote Marlon

Happy Tooling Tim Hi Tim, Peter is a friend of mine...We kind of developed a web friendship after I took a few of his classes. As he completes items, he sends me copies of the pictures that he posts to the IILG forum. He is a member here also, and lurks every now and then. I am also a member of the Fort Worth Guild (Lone Star Leathercrafters). Marlon Quote Marlon

Members Tina Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 As usual Peter makes an excellent work... Who would not like to be the "fly on the wall" when he's working?

Members KcKenny Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 That's incredible. I spent some time on his site the other day and was just blown away. Do you know if the lacing is dyed before it's laced, or prushed or something after it's on. His lacing always looks so incorporated, as if it's just the edge of the belt. I assume hr burnished the lacing once it's on the belt? Quote Thanks to all of the artists who are willing to share their experience.
