Members Frederiek Posted July 29, 2014 Members Report Posted July 29, 2014 Hi everyone, This is my second guitar strap. I made it for a good friend of mine, who wanted to have one made by me but found the flowers a little bit unsuitable for his metal band performances ;-) So I tried a Norse/Celtic design and came up with this, a snake and knotwork. Initial sketch: Drying from tooling, unstaged but appropriate background with dragon egg, Game of Thrones and axe: And the final result. Bloody difficult getting the strap in one nice picture. Not to indemnify, but the pics sure don't do the real thing much honour! The colours look a lot different out of the harsh sunlight. So you'll just have to take my word for it ;-) I can only see the many mistakes I made so I'm very curious about your opinions, any input is appreciated! Frederiek Quote My website My Etsy store

MikeG Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 You've balanced the design so well with the dragon on the front and the design running over the shoulder and down the back. A lot of thought went into the layout -- very well done! Quote
