Bitzy’s “coffee mug” marking.
Hat.
25+ year old snakeskin, embossed leather with antiquing, 3-4oz vegetable tan leather.
And when I finished it, it turned out to be just a tad too big for me.
Oh well.
Heh.

“Liberty’s Flower”
Western style shoulder holster.
This was a personal exercise and I am experimenting with new (to me) finishing techniques and products.
I am happy with the results, despite the obvious flaws & flubs.
Sam Horne hardware & belt loop still need attached.

Well…
It is -far- from perfect, but I did manage to take the idea from sketch to drafted pattern to final results.
My take on the protagonist’s holster in Red Dead Redemption II, used by Arthur, John, & even one’s online character.
Lots of flaws here.
The tooling is pretty sloppy.
