Members Sylvia Posted July 10, 2012 Members Report Posted July 10, 2012 Don't forget your decorative cuts, CC. Just a few like what Aaron did. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members DoubleC Posted July 10, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 10, 2012 Well FREAK, you mean like on the leaves? I cut so much on this strap I though I was gonna cut it in half, LOL. In the words of a very wise friend of mine, LORD LOVE A DUCK, what is that supposed to be. OK, More cuts, with Arron's pic in front of me. I don't know what this style is, but it's fussy and a pain in the royal asteric, grrrrr. But this is actually the most important strap I''ve done so far, so want it as poerfect as I can get it. Thanks Syl. Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members wareagle Posted July 11, 2012 Members Report Posted July 11, 2012 I think for the leaves a lot depends on what part of the country you are from, here in New England, we sell a lot of Maple leaf designs.

Members DoubleC Posted July 11, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 11, 2012 LOL, War I live in VT. But the guy said he 'used to live on Oak St.' so it must have a lot of memories for him, because this is what he wanted. He doesn't mind that I did it a little different than what you would normally see. I made the leaf 'litter' 8" and the middle tree the same so it takes up the middle 24 inches at least (measurements are exact) of the 42 inch strap. I'll have to do some maple leaves some time. In OH where I grew up can remember climbing many a maple tree in my tomboy youth :-) Cheryl Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Contributing Member SooperJake Posted August 24, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted August 24, 2012 If you are interested in some of the symbolism associated with Man and trees, (and a lot more) get hold of a copy of "A Reverence for Wood", by Eric Sloane. I recommend all of his books, actually. We are forever intertwined, after all. Don't we all have a trunk, limbs, and roots of out own? And a Family tree? and on and on.....
