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?

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.

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.

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.

As they used to say many years ago, . . . that is top drawer stuff, . . . 

Awesome craftsmanship, . . . 

May God bless,

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

Beautiful work. How was the outside border accomplished?

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.

yes it is a set that Tandy sells with three size stamps..... the key is to really rotate the stamp as you use it in your fingers
