WOW!! your roses are amazing!!!!

They look so real, right down to the imperfections in the petals, the tears and bug bites. What is the most impressive is ripples in the petals, they look so thin and delicate. I'd sure like to hang out in your shop for a while, I'd love to learn how you do that!

These are gorgeous:-)

I like the suttle paint/dye on the roses, makes it very delicate.

I hate tame roses on saddles, just because I've never seen any that are well done enough to make them look good - even the best ones I've seen don't make me want to do them! This is the best work I've ever seen for tame roses on leather - and makes me think that by doing the roses from photos - buds, half opened, etc, and different angles/views, I could possibly do a rose saddle...hmmm...do I want to do it and have to do it again...?! Might just have to put them on a notebook cover and see how that works out...

I'm thinking that a photo can be manipulated within a computer program to give you a line drawing of what you are after, with the shading, etc - I've played with my Corel program when editing horse pix enough to know it's there - and now can see that it could possibly work with this type of application - also wonder if that is how Rick Bean gets his images ready to transfer to leather - his figures and scenes on his saddles are like b/w photos, but add in the 3D look that he gets by manipulating the image with the tools, etc. I'm not trying to oversimplify - maybe I am, as I'm just speculating...now my wheels are turning for a reining saddle with different images on it from every maneuver in a reining pattern...sliding stop, spin, circling, etc - maybe also images of the horse going thru the training process with the intro to the saddle, etc...also have some other ideas for a 'theme' saddle...might be able to do some of this over the fall and winter...

Awesome work, Bobocat!! I would also like to come 'sweep your shop' for you for about a week or so!!
