Contributing Member Crystal Posted October 8, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 8, 2008 I agree, it was really nice meeting you too:-)The lace (which I love) I bought from Ebay, a very old stock from some New York companny that doesnt excist anymore, or I can not find it on the net...If you want the name 'knock' cuz I'm to lacy to run upstairs right now. When it came it was quite fragile but after using some nice products on there they came out great...Thinner but yet stronger than the calf lace you'll find today. So, when this stock is gone...it's gone Yeah I did dye the lace. The background color I used on the holster (Angelus "Blue Jean" spirit dye) I just tossed some lace into the bottle for a while and when dry had some neetfoot oil to get it into the right "mood" again It kind'a works. Hope this helps some:-) Helps alot. I didn't think I had seen anything like it before. (No need to trot up the steps.) Good find, hoard it well. Thanks for the dying tips! Everything matched so well, I thought there needed to be a custom twist for the color. Thanks so much! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather

Members 338uwm Posted January 12, 2009 Members Report Posted January 12, 2009 You just made me rethink the way I was going make my holsters for my Colt 1860s. That laceing and color placement just sets that whole holster off. Out of curiosity what did you use for a liner, or did you dye the inside?

Members Tina Posted January 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 12, 2009 Hi guys and Thanks for your comments:-) I hope that if someone uses the pattern...Post up some pictures, we all love'm. The lining is just some leftover lamb skin I had at home...This holster was never ment to be used, I just used it (the holster that is) as a canvas, just another medium to do some arty stuff on:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
