I have done some slobber straps before along with holsters, knife sheaths, straps and the like. But, I have never gotten into doing any stamping on my projects. So, all in I went! My first stamping project and latest set of slobber straps for your viewing pleasure and/or critique...

The dye went a little darker than I wanted, but it turned out usable for me. BTW, I also made the set of mecates that are pictured (I tie my own halters, lead ropes and mecates too).

what did you braid that mecate out of?

Sorry, I should have been more clear (or maybe I am being too dense now, sorry if I am). I actually didn't braid the mecates. I just did the end splices and added the poppers. They were made out of Samson 1/2" EQ Braid, double-braided polyester, rope. The value of the rope is great, price per foot vs. quality. I like the feel of New England Rope's 1/2" double-braid, but it is more than twice the price!
