Oscar B Report post Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) I received a great belt from rdb. Edited April 11, 2008 by Oscar B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted April 11, 2008 I received a great belt from rdb. I didn't hit him...honest!!! LOL. I hope you liked it, and it fit. If not, let me know, and I'll make a new one. It's a pretty heavy belt, so it'll take a while to break it in. It will also double as a concealed carry platform. I used Zack White's Bridle Side. Nice stuff. Should last, well, forever....

Myriam Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Ken - Wow *big beaming smile* I sure I'm glad you like it. I had real fun working on it, that's for sure! Wolvenstien - It's dudette Thanks. It was my first time trying those decorative cuts. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. One thing is sure, now I know how to keep my swivel knife sharp! Beaverslayer - Thanks Beaver. I guess I found my calling. I just love leather. I still see some flaws in my work but I get better with every piece I make. I guess that's what counts, to keep improving with every piece Rayban - Thanks, Rayban. The font is Abaddon. I found it on the Internet and it's free. The scrolls were also inspired by a font called Poke. Also available for free on the net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myriam Report post Posted April 14, 2008 I received a package today and seeing it was from Scouter, I got all excited. My PIF had finally arrived! So all excited, I opened the box, read the letter and then unwrapped my gift. What a lovely piece!!! The work is so delicate and well done! The design and colors are just perfect, and your work is awesomely well done. I love it!!! *big beaming smile* A BIG THANK YOU, John! You can be sure it's going to be in a place where everyone can see it! And everytime I'll look at it myself, I'll know how much you put into it too. Thank you again, you've made this girl very, very happy *big hugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyden Report post Posted April 15, 2008 OMG! OMG! OMG! You should see the awesome mask I just got from Banwell! It's a bulldog and it EVEN HAS WHISKERS!!!! This has got to be the COOLEST mask I have ever seen! I opened the box and started giggling like a loon, then put on the mask to show my husband and the dogs. My daughter has my camera card, so I'm taking it to work in the morning so I can take pictures and post them!! Thank you soooo much Tom!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Can't wait to see it. Is it the same one he posted a week or two ago? Kate OMG! OMG! OMG!You should see the awesome mask I just got from Banwell!

Hoyden Report post Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Can't wait to see it. Is it the same one he posted a week or two ago?Kate Yep! That's it!! I haven't been online too much because I embroidered my right index finger a little while ago, so I've missed a bunch of posts. I need to go back and see what I've missed. Serves me for trying to cut jumps stitches while the machine is running. I STILL can't get over the WHISKERS, They're great. I must have a small head because my entire face fits inside and it covers my chin and forehead. I took it to the Nursing home with me this morning when I took my dog to do therapy visits with the "Grandmas & Grandpas" and they loved it. Mr. Sullivan wants to borrow it to play Winston Churchill in one of their plays. Edited April 15, 2008 by Hoyden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomBanwell Report post Posted April 15, 2008 I'm so glad you like the mask. One never knows how someone will react to a gift when you know virtually nothing about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted April 16, 2008 How could anyone not like that? It was awesome. Hope you keep posting your work, Tom. It's a walk on the outside of the mainstream of leather work, and we do need that. Thanks for the inspiration... Kate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayban Report post Posted April 16, 2008 So what are we to do with pictures of the gifts we receive?? I've seen "send them to so and so"...ignored....a repeipiants thread...ignored...Cecil started his own thread....some on this one...helter skelter ...and there's already another round being planned?? Let's work out the bugs on this one first!! So where do I post my picture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOUTER Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Well today was a good day! I received my PIF from CECIL! What wonderful work! An absolutely beautiful rendition of Abraham Lincoln in a beautiful Oak frame! Cecil Thankyou so much! The carving was so deep that I thought it was embossed! The color of the piece was perfect! I Love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's work out the bugs on this one first!!So where do I post my picture? In this same topic (Special Events, Contests, and Classes), there is a thread for PIF (Pay It Forward) pictures. I've noticed some posting here, some there, and Cecil's own thread up TWICE, so it's kinda scattered around. I tried (as a moderator) to combine things, but I couldn't figure it out, even after it was explained to me. Originally, Johanna said to send them to her. ps Cecil sent me previews of that Lincoln pic and it sure is great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Send pics to admin@leatherworker.net I've got a few already. Holly- I'll combine those threads, don't worry about it. Great to see all the enthusiam & participation. Rayban- don't be mad at us- this whole thing was spontaneous, and we're trying to work out any bugs on the fly!

Rayban Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Kani...got the buckle today and I love it! It's a great addition to my buckle collection. How did you know I liked horses??
