GuitarLeatherDopeFiend Report post Posted October 19, 2014 This was my first belt project, unfortunately I'm still waiting to get paid for it, but it was great experience! Will be posting another belt soon, loaded up with the logos of some legendary bands! The flowers are Irises, I made the templates for them by drawing it on cardboard and cutting them out with a razor blade, experienced leatherworkers will probably laugh at this, but I'm fairly new, and don't have tons of money for tools, so I work with what I've got, LOL! They are hand painted then treated with resistor (super shene) before I hit it with mahogany antique. I wish the leaves came out better, and the vines aren't really accurate to how an Iris grows, but I thought it gave good flow to the belt. Criticism is welcome!

GuitarLeatherDopeFiend Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Wild Bill46, and MonicaJacobson, thank you both so much, I really appreciate having a second opinion on this belt from other leatherworkers, I wasn't sure how other leatherworkers would respond to it, I feared they might think it was a gaudy and ugly style, haha. I laughed at the Iris fit comment, lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
