[Nutty Saddler]

Ok so am I nuts or what

Got a request from a customer to make a bridle for her horse HOLLY
She wanted her horses name on it or something similar so I'm making this -





Just to give you an idea - the pattern has to be HAND DRAWN onto the leather with inkless ballpoint pen ( mustn't scratch it ) and then each stitch has to be marked out one at a time. I then have to very carefully hand stitch the pattern on. It took a whole day just to do the pattern.

I will post some pics of the finished item when it's complete.

The Nutty Saddler strikes again ( either that or I just got so bored with the norm )

That is so pretty! Perfect for a horse named Holly! I can't wait to see the finished product! Beautiful!

WOW - stunning work! Yes, you're mad, but in the best possible way!! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Beautiful! LOL, I just had a mental image of one for Soda with pop cans all over it! Hahaha, not sure I'd like that.

That is really lovely! Are you going to die the berries red? I think that would be pretty but maybe the customer wouldn't.

Very, very cute! In fact I like it even more then browbands with crystals or beads!

Nice work. But I'm not surprised.

 

[Sunny06]

I'm jealous!

 

[Nutty Saddler]

for those of you who are interested I could stitch the berries with red thread but thought it might be a bit much .

 

[Sunny06]

I would do it!

 

[1dog3cats17rodents]

Gorgeous! I would avoid colored thread, I agree it would be a bit much

 

[upsidedown]

Grr... Why do you have to make such pretty things!?! Stop! You're making me go green with envy!

Just kidding of course... not about the envy part unfortunately though...

 

[Nutty Saddler]

OK - finished item. I think it looks quite good ( even if I do say so myself ) what do you alll think.
