Members Treed Posted October 9, 2017 Members Report Posted October 9, 2017 Here is one I have had on my mind and finally got the nerve to try it.....Do you show it as art or using piece? Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters

bikermutt07 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 It's wearable art. I would post it on my site as an example. Then, I would wear it everywhere I could. When they ask, "where'd you get that", I would just tell 'em, "I made it". And watch the orders pour in. Looks great. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members dikman Posted October 9, 2017 Members Report Posted October 9, 2017 Elements of both? It is quite classy, but is asking to be used. What I like about it is that the ornamentation isn't overdone, some just fill every spare bit of space with something which tends to make it a bit overwhelming (and gaudy!). Looks like a lot of work went into it. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members YinTx Posted October 10, 2017 Members Report Posted October 10, 2017 That is absolutely awesome. Art without a doubt, functional to a T. The wait was well worth it. I look forward to the day when I can do that. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

Members Treed Posted October 10, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 10, 2017 thanks for the comments.... it took awhile to do and was mostly off the cuff.... Had an idea but as I would get one part done the ideas changed. I am trying to come up with one now for the 1911 and some original pieces form the 1800's for the cowboy, cavalry, and civil war Thanks Bobby Quote Bobby Rose Rock'n R custom holsters
Members Bodean Posted October 10, 2017 Members Report Posted October 10, 2017 Beautiful work. How was the outside border accomplished? Quote
Members OLDNSLOW Posted October 10, 2017 Members Report Posted October 10, 2017 That is truly inspirational, the question I have is, was the all that work done with a backgrounder stamp I think it is called? It certainly provides food for thought. Quote
