Stopping In To Say Hi, And Show Some New Items I've Made.

[Andies Tack]

Hi Everyone

Been busy lately, and taking a break for a few minutes. Thought I'd drop by and show a few new items I've made recently. Everything is completely made by hand, and since I don't have a sewing machine, it is all hand stitched.

My fashion model was being a Brat yesterday, but finally let me get a few new pictures. lol

This is my little Rodeo mare, Jewel wearing her new Black Caiman Hide Set....

My father is a custom knife maker, and here's a few new sheaths I just finished for him. The inlays are Beaver Tails that I tanned myself.

Here's some of my new Saddle Pad Corners....

Nice looking sheaths and tack. Some good tooling and stitching there

Your horse has some spunk too!

[Alvetjarn]

Nice things! I like that you tan yourself!!!

[GamberLeathercrafter]

Very nice work Andie, I'm like you, all my things are hand sewn. I've had two nice machines and had nothing but trouble with them so I decided to continue to sew by hand, it looks a lot better anyway and people like it more.

well done. It all looks very nice. The beaver inlays are a really neat idea. Bravo.

[BubbaJon]

Man! That peacock feather inlay is a first for me!

How do you protect it?

I love it when I see inspirational posts like this - I tell myself "I can do it" when I see these.

[Studio-N]

welcome. You have a great eye for color.

[capsterdog]

All look great!.. Love the horse with the attitude. Sticking her tongue out, funny that you mentioned she was being a brat.!!

[Leprechaunleather]

Fantastic work ! one question ... How many years have you been working with leather ? you are talented.

[Horseshoe]

Your inlay work is way nice!

[Andies Tack]

Thank you everyone. Yes, Capsterdog, Jewel is a big brat at times. lol...She has so much personality. She is just like her daddy. I lost him at Thanksgiving to colic and had to put him down, and Jewel is so much like Faster was. I see so much of him in her.

I got this yesterday afternoon when it almost bit my little girl while she was watering the horses....It has also just shed it's skin so the colors are so pretty! She's gonna make a really pretty headstall, and when I get more rattlers I'm gonna make the matching breastcollar, halter, pad corners, tie down noseband, bracelet, etc.

I finished my first stingray project a few days ago, and it turned out even prettier than I thought it was going to. I'm stitching the headstall now.

Thank you ....Actually I have only been doing this a few months. I started tinckering with the scraps from my dad making knife sheaths. I started making horse tack in October, and started my business in November. I've always been lucky because I can see a picture of something and make it.

Thank you ...The pad corners attach to a saddle pad with the conchos to dress them up some, and yes, the peacock feathers are inlays.
