Double Gun Holsters

WORK

This week at work Ive been busy making western gun holsters (3x double gun belts to complete in total), I have to say I feel very lucky to have projects that continue to expand my skills with leather work.......not to mention how awesome it is having a 'living resource' passing on and teaching me so much information (bless the boss)!!

Anyway this week I finished x2 of my double gun belts, one in black + one in brown. I really didn't expect there to be so many pieces, though most of the work is in the preparing and dyeing. Once everythings ready they come together quiet quickly.

Some pics of my first double gun holster completed.




And a customer wearing it....




UPDATE

The fetish ball outfit I made looked great though a few hurdles have made the completion process a bit challenging (getting ill, breaking both my domestic and industrial machines in the same week, not to mention losing my eyeleting tools) - lucky my customer was so lovely about the whole thing, allowing me to get everything under control first (note to self:- the unexpected always happens when you run short of time).

I took a trip to lapco this week to stock up on goodies for the x-mas holidays (yes I have plans), got another dye for my gorgeous hand press so now it's eyeleting like a dream (my machines are running again too thank goodness).

My exhibition is just around the corner mmmmmm 14th December actually, not to sure how thats going to go but I hope to have at least dressed my two new mannequins, and a few half torsos for the wall. After that it's my orders again (the 2 wedding dresses seem due for my full commitment).......I'll post some pics as I make progress.

Ok so when I haven't been busy with 'the busy' my newest endeavor is learning to roller blade (actually Cleo the dog drags me around the park and I try to stay upright while traveling at high speed), but that has at least given me an excuse to take time for fresh air! Otherwise I'm likely to be found on the couch watching 'Eastwick' or 'Warehouse 13'(see I need an excuse for fresh air)lol.
