Members badger Posted December 25, 2008 Members Report Posted December 25, 2008 I finally worked up enough courage to show something I made. This is a belt for my Mrs, Deb. I was going for clean, elegant but robust lines. No fuss at all. There's no stitching, only creasing. This is the first thing I made using my new motorized burnisher for the edges. The Art Nouveau buckle is a hundred years old. The belt fastens at the back with a single snap and is fitted exactly to her size. She won't mind me telling you that, since the fit is so precise, I also made a small extender piece which snaps in, in case of Christmas dinner and other size altering events. Cheers, Karl Quote

Contributing Member UKRay Posted December 25, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 25, 2008 Lovely job, Karl, and a stunning buckle. You obviously have nothing to be ashamed of... apart from that hat! <grin!> Hope you've both had a great day. R.
