TomSwede Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Finally finished this Finnish lion buckle and belt combo. It is the first out of four that I will make. I've used ROC dyes gold and it appear all to silvery in the pics. It's a bit more goldish in reality. Braid is mexican roundbraid. Criticism is always welcome!

TomSwede Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Thanks all!!! The borders are hard the first fifteen minutes but then I get into it and mind is disconnected from body and I have a spiritual moment, lol Heraldry is very nice. I think this is my first venture into it.

Members CarvedOn Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Beautiful work! Would a little silver on the crown and sword be out of order? Quote
Members jana Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Very nice Tom, I like using the round braid also. Always felt it made the project look neater than the double loop. Quote Jana "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." - Chinese Proverb
TomSwede Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Posted July 19, 2009 Beautiful work! Would a little silver on the crown and sword be out of order? Thank you CarvedOn!! Good thinking but the vision I had was from when you see this types of lions painted on old buildings, history books, medallions or wherever they appear, they seem to allways be in just gold. Very nice Tom, I like using the round braid also. Always felt it made the project look neater than the double loop. Thank you Jana! I agree about the braiding. Most times is is worth the effort. I do like the tripleloop very much as applique braiding. Jana is a very typical Finnish name (for someone living in Sweden anyways).

Members jana Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Jana is a very typical Finnish name (for someone living in Sweden anyways). It is not too common here in the States! How is it pronounced in Sweden? I use the 'J sound (jan - a) I also agree with you on the applique braid, but don't use it too often.

TomSwede Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Posted July 19, 2009 Kinda hard to explain how we say it. Pronounciation of a is different for us. can't find any similar word to explain with either.
