Members sonnyboone Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Hi Leatherworker friends. Here's the latest idea I'm working on. The pattern and details still need a few tweaks but let me know what you think! The color combo is pretty loud in this one but just having some fun. Maybe well suited for a Daytona in Daytona? I just got some Ostrich leg and I think that this might work well. Quote
Members YinTx Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Really nice work. Is that Teju? I can imagine it matching some of the more audacious watch faces out there... YinTx Quote
Members mtown Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Nice! That could work really well with some of the customisable digital watch faces! Quote
Members Tugadude Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I like it but I think it would be killer if you could get edge paint to match the green. That would tie it all together. But it is cool "as-is". P.S., forgot to mention that the workmanship is beautiful Edited October 2, 2020 by Tugadude Added information Quote

I'll probably make a few out of the real deal and some Ostrich once I practice a bit more. 1 hour ago, Tugadude said: I like it but I think it would be killer if you could get edge paint to match the green.

That would look nice too! 6 hours ago, mtown said: Nice! That could work really well with some of the customisable digital watch faces! I never thought of that. I'm a mechanical watch guy but I should try and get a digital watch for some pics. Great idea! Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted October 2, 2020 CFM Report Posted October 2, 2020 Very nice!!!!! green thread would make it pop and tie it together too. Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted October 2, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted October 2, 2020 That is nice work, very colourful But why the 'color blind' in your title? I'm colour blind but I see those colours as a nice mix Quote

Members jcuk Posted October 2, 2020 Members Report Posted October 2, 2020 Nice work, are you going to reverse the colour scheme? if so i think the blue edge would work better, still think it look ok as it is. Hope this helps JCUK Quote
toxo Posted October 2, 2020 Report Posted October 2, 2020 Very nice. One day I might attempt a watch strap. Quote

Hope this helps JCUK Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably try a few different combinations but reversing the color combo would be fun to try. 4 hours ago, toxo said: Very nice.

I guess this pattern is more on the scale of a smaller reptile but it's also available in a larger gator pattern. I purchased it from OA Leather supply in Canada. Quote
Members Nailbanger Posted October 9, 2020 Members Report Posted October 9, 2020 Thank you,,, i actually just found them,, killer site, beautiful materials and tools,,,, Keep stitching! Cheers! Quote

Members Norwegian Posted November 4, 2020 Members Report Posted November 4, 2020 Love the green! Quote
Members JayEhl Posted November 4, 2020 Members Report Posted November 4, 2020 Wow, very noticeable. If I were to see these on a table along with a bunch of other crafting type stuff (thinking arts/crafts fair) I would definitely do a double take. I also like the idea of a green edge. Well done!

Members Handstitched Posted November 6, 2020 Members Report Posted November 6, 2020 @sonnyboone I love it nothing wrong with the colours . The green is very striking, quite impressed with that . I often say to myself if I'm doing something different, " be bold & be brave" . You never know if you don't give it a go . I recently received some roo skins, check these beauties out: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/92181-christmas-came-early/ I'm pretty anxious to get started on them , I'll be thinking outside my regular square Well done Quote
