Members GrayHallidayJr Posted June 13, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks, everyone! I'm mostly self taught and am actually trying my best to mimic traditional Sheridan style carving. I'm just making it up as I go, and not very good at it. But people seem to like the goofy, flawed results. So, I'm just going with it, claiming that I've got some clever "style" that I'll elaborate extensively upon some day in some grandiose, narcissistic artist's statement... (sarcasm) Mentioned before that I was a "pen" and "pencil" artist prior to finding leatherwork. I wear out pen nibs and break pencil tips all of the time, always pressing so heavy against the paper. Always a heavy handed artist. Interesting that the same pressure applied in my leatherwork is noticed. Thanks, Stetson, for the clarification regarding the Ranger style buckle vs. Ranger style belt. The Ranger style belt is beyond my limited capabilities with the sewing machine. Maybe I'll get to it eventually. Thanks again for all the encouragement! I really appreciate it. Quote
Members GrayHallidayJr Posted June 14, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 14, 2017 Here are some other recent projects. I don't want to post multiple threads on the message boards here, especially for a keychain or something small. The medallion is made from brass plumber chain, the stuff that goes in the toilet. That's James Trussart in his guitar studio, with a pick guard and guitar strap that I did a while back. He's making guitars for Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Billy Gibbons, James Hetfield, Lucinda Williams, you name a famous guitarist and they've played one of James' guitars. Cool guy. And I made a couple of keychains for Mick Fleetwood's daughter. I'm now working on a strap for the guitarist from Foo Fighters (not Dave Grohl). Quote
