TomSwede Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Sooo, leveling out after a autumn that was wild and whacky and I wont try to explain half of it but working with leathers and photography for bands was the main course and off course being out and do promotion for myself, constantly out of town on weekends. Anyways, theese two was made recently. First one was ordered by Ted of my alltime favourite band Loch Vostok for his son Max birthday. Being that Loch Vostok is what it is to me and is the No1 band I listen to for inspiration in my shop I just couldn't resist making a freebie for Teds own birthday as a surprise for him. Carrying their signatory V and a design that I cooked up myself in Loch Vostoks favorite colour combo, black and red..here goes!!

teamroperdad Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Those look good, please forgive my ignorance but what is a bracer, is it like wrist cuffs? Quote
Members OdinUK Posted November 15, 2009 Members Report Posted November 15, 2009 Those look great! What sort of paint do you use, or is it a dye? Quote Lord Of Leather
Members TTcustom Posted November 15, 2009 Members Report Posted November 15, 2009 Wow! Looks great Tom. I bet they were super happy.

Schno Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Tom, Red and Black called, and they both want you to be their spokesperson. They say, "nobody knows us like Tom knows us". They're right. Quote Schno - Los Angeles, CA
BWL Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Those look good, please forgive my ignorance but what is a bracer, is it like wrist cuffs? Someone once told me, they were wrist cuffs with an attitude. I'll never forget that reply. Edited November 16, 2009 by Barbed Wire Leather Quote It's the impresion you leave that counts. Michael
TomSwede Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Posted November 17, 2009 Thank you very much all!! Bracers/cuffs/armbands...dear child has many names is a Swedish expression (kärt barn har många namn ;-) I used only spirit dyes and block dyeing tecniques for both. I also used the brush to smooth things out around details for the Loch Vostok bracer. Schno: Special thanks!!! The Loch Vostok bracer was really an attempt to try and find yet another way to work with variation on the black/red color theme. Seem like my customers really fancy the combo too so allways trying to find new ways for it.
