Members AlexOstacchini Posted May 27, 2020 Members Report Posted May 27, 2020 Hi all Just completed a commission for a personalised set of braces (or suspenders if you are American I believe), so thought I would share. I have done lots of belts before but never these, so took a little working out to get right. These were built to the clients specifications, and have a tooled oak leaf pattern, carved initals on the strap connector, brass fittings, and an elastic adjuster at the back.. The straps are lined and all stitching has been done by hand. Hours of fun I'm sure you'll all agree. Any comments welcome and I hope you like it! Cheers Alex Quote www.alexostacchini.co.uk Alex Ostacchini Arty Things www.instagram.com/alexostacchini.artythings

CFM chuck123wapati Posted May 28, 2020 CFM Report Posted May 28, 2020 wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is some nice work. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Riem Posted May 28, 2020 Members Report Posted May 28, 2020 Beautiful - your work has a richness and depth to it that I admire!
