Members candyleather Posted August 11, 2006 Members Report Posted August 11, 2006 Your wonderful work inspired to me for make a bag like yours, is not a copy, is a simple replica. You can see a pic in the first photo here. Thank you for your creative work. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted August 12, 2006 Moderator Report Posted August 12, 2006 Candyleather Little Jon made me a purse for when I was on the back of motorcycles with an extra long braided strap like you used on the hand strap handles of the first pictured bag. He used thicker leather, carefully edged it, braided it close, formed it, burnished it and I love that braid. It never pulls my long hair, and it does not catch on things. That bag is stunning, but I would have a hard time with that twist style of braid for the shoulder strap because of my hair. For any bag as big as my laptop, I want a shoulder pad, too. Are you in business yet, and do you have a website? You have quite a variety of good looking stuff, so I hope you're selling plenty. If you have a portfolio site, I know I would want to look at everything. Got a link to share? Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members braider Posted August 14, 2006 Author Members Report Posted August 14, 2006 Candyleather... Thank you for your compliment about my work. It's always nice to hear that you've inspired someone. I noticed braiding on at least a couple of the bags in your pictures. I wish you well with your leatherwork/braiding. ...Dave Quote Anderson Leather Braiding http://andersonleather.com/
Members troy Posted October 11, 2006 Members Report Posted October 11, 2006 Ye I love your site - I've been trying to do pinapple knots like yours for ages for the western tack I do. So far I've just used thicker thongs for the few smaller knots I know, but seeing your stuff sort gives me a kick up the behind. Quote my very own world within the darkest of corners at ebay

I'm delighted that you find inspiration in my work. ...Dave Well I think you and your site have done it now - changed the design of my bridle abit and have also managed to do a headhunters knot and something called a lazy man knot today - they look pretty good done over a narrow or perfect pineapple knot. Just hope the bridle looks like a bridle when I'm finished and not just one bit knot. Quote my very own world within the darkest of corners at ebay
