Some different guitar strap styles

[TVvoodoo]

Still doing this, while it's been sometimes a starving artist sort of existence, I so far have not been compelled to leave my shop for other employment. Some newer examples...

Pearloid plastic inset To match Gibson custom headstock

Another of those "found item" belts incorporated into a strap

A little madness is always fun... Regan theme... this skin coloured garment leather was super freaky to work with.

Using a stamp creatively

Below an original full design of my own... really luxe and elegant

Gaining more custom jobs by word of mouth mostly... it's nice to have paying jobs! When no customary are on the bench, I still build every day for a storefront online.

This van gogh Starry Night piece was my first painted strap. Crazy thing!

 "Simple tooled" for texture, dyed for a color base, then painted with acrylic.

Having fun, Working hard, always learning and trying new things. Musicians are fun and chill people to work with mostly.

Thank you fellas! tooling commission on the table today, grad gift! 

Grey dye stage this aft, after tooling pretty much the whole morning. Includes 

a Calgary flaming horse (alternate hockey logo) on the backside of it where the bolt ends. 

Going to be deep black coming, and some silver metallic on top. 

Been a while since I tooled anything. You can definitely feel the rust on your chops when you start would be better to tool something at least every week

That's a cool combination of hobbies. Your guitar slings look good, and it's awesome that you've found a way to blend your love for leathercraft with your passion for guitar.

Thanks John! Guess it's about time I updated with some newer fun stuff too... Still at it, continuing to grow my guitar strap brand and general skillset.

Some creative re-dying

Not afraid to try something

Sometimes it's all about pattern and texture.

 It must be rewarding to see your creations bring smiles to your friends' faces. I'm sorry to hear about your job situation, but it's inspiring to see you turning your craft into something more significant for your family.
