In the late 1980s I attended midnight showings in West Virginia, often playing Riff. I think the Charleston Cinema required anyone at Midnight Movies be 18+. 30 miles west in Huntington, I don’t recall any ID being asked for, but that was a long time ago. I hit both many weekends in ‘86-87

Two more holsters, both marbled.

Beads include a Lewis&Clark pattern, dyed wood, agate, tigers eye, and antique glass.

Not the greatest end product, but a great launch point to start. Lots to improve and learn!

The knife sheath worked into the “saddle skirt” of the holster turned out just fine and I think this part of the idea can be adapted to a variety of knives.

I am happy with the dye technique I played with.

The holster is too big. While the 45 revolver sits in it well enough and the hammer safety holds, it is much more roomy than I had planned.

The lacing leaves a lot to be desired. But I did hand cut almost all of it with a blade. So that’s pretty cool.
