Members Andies Tack Posted April 3, 2014 Members Report Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) 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....

Members Alvetjarn Posted April 4, 2014 Members Report Posted April 4, 2014 Nice things! I like that you tan yourself!!! Quote
Members GamberLeathercrafter Posted April 4, 2014 Members Report Posted April 4, 2014 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. Quote

Members BubbaJon Posted April 9, 2014 Members Report Posted April 9, 2014 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. Quote

Members capsterdog Posted April 9, 2014 Members Report Posted April 9, 2014 All look great!.. Love the horse with the attitude. Sticking her tongue out, funny that you mentioned she was being a brat.!! Quote
Members Leprechaunleather Posted April 10, 2014 Members Report Posted April 10, 2014 Fantastic work ! one question ... How many years have you been working with leather ? you are talented. Quote https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/leprechaunleather1freedom is a right not a privilege
Members Horseshoe Posted April 10, 2014 Members Report Posted April 10, 2014 Your inlay work is way nice! Quote
Members Andies Tack Posted April 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2014 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. Quote "Cowgirl Up"...

Members Andies Tack Posted April 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2014 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. Quote "Cowgirl Up"... The Buckle Don't Shine In The Dirt!
Members Andies Tack Posted April 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2014 Fantastic work ! one question ... How many years have you been working with leather ? you are talented. 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. Quote "Cowgirl Up"...

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. Quote "Cowgirl Up"... The Buckle Don't Shine In The Dirt!
