Custom Belt With Tooling

[dwdwannabe]

Hey everyone,

just wanted to get some advice from the community on the new belt that I am working on.Thinking about cutting it in half and having the adjustment in the rear and the having the two wings attached by circle ring. Colors are going to be red and black. Still a work in progress, any helpful tips will be appreciated. I will be burnishing the edges and skiving the flaps on the edges of the bat wings for the ring. Please be kind in your comments this is only my 4th project.

That is a neat looking belt. I want to see it finished.

Thanks Rohn,

I do plan on finishing it here in the next couple of days. I have to wait for my shipment of red dye. I will be using the Angelus red die. I would like to get a nice vibrant red for the blood dripping. The belt will be cut in half and the buckle and fastener will be on the back side. I will be using a 2" ring for decorative fastening on the front in between the two wings that are supposed to sit on the pelvic area. Still trying to figure things out with the layout considering this is my fourth project I do not have a lot of experience under my belt.

Here is an update on the belt was able to put my first layer of stain. I tried to blend the red and black and then shade the blood on the top. Hope you like it. Once again any tips or advice is always welcome.

Finally the belt is finished. Attached the snaps and added a couple coats of super sheen.Burnished the edges and coated. It is sized for a 36" waist and will hang lower in the front.
