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.

Yarden #Kitten Update:
This week makes 12 weeks. The boys are fixed and full immunizations. Bitzy, the calico, is scheduled for spaying in September whereupon she will get the rest of her immunizations.
All have planned homes with good folks. (Bitzy will be staying with us.)
