Elton Joorisity Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Candace calls these our "Halloween" model. Body is grey, fringe is metallic apricot(light orange and not yellow like it looks) and black overlays. Thanks again to Luke and Vandy and the crew at Sheridan Leather for some more AWESOME leather.

rickybobby Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Elton, I would never have enough imagination to put those colors together and make them look good. You did and did it with style!! They are a nice piece of work, your customer should be very happy! I love the lines on the trim and the shapes for your yokes and side panels. The tooling looks good and all of your trim and stitching looks perfect! After seeing those I am going to the work bench and practice, practice, practice! Thanks for posting those, they are NICE!!

Elton Joorisity Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 Customer picked the body color and I RAN AWAY WITH THE REST. Thanks for the compliment. I have a foot for my chap machine with a built in edge guide for stitching the overlays on.

TomSwede Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Very beautiful Elton! As usual one might add. The black border down one the legs accentuate the whole design very well.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted September 7, 2008 Moderator Report Posted September 7, 2008 Elton, Good ones again. I like the overlay too. Got a pic of that edge guide for the foot?

Might I suggest you invest in a tripod or at least try holding the camera still while taking the pic. It's a shame something this nice is displayed as a blur. Also the background really detracts from the piece. Take it outside. JMO. Quote Jack, JUSTIS CASES
Elton Joorisity Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Here's a pic of the foot set up Bruce. They come in 1/8 3/16 and 1/4. I bought them for Candace to use but I have ended up using them more than she ever has. Justis, seems like it's the flourescent lighting in my shop that causes the blur.
