Since I got my new basket weave stamp tool I have been wanting to see what I could do with it. My last post was just a preview. Well here is what I am currently working on (when I find time between my HABS report and reading for classes). I am creating the most elegant western pleasure set I've ever attempted. I want this to dazzle in the show ring. It is really a shame that I couldn't participate in the performance side of the show in two week with what I am creating. I could always take it along and see if they would still let me. Anywho...here are progress pics!

The next photos are how the set looks currently. This has two days of work put into it. I stamped, carved, and dyed the leather. I then added the decorative metal plates to the edges. It is already impressing me with how far I have come!

And just in case anyone was curious, here is a picture of my collection. This doesn't include a box of Grand Champions I have sitting under my desk or the customs I have in various stages. Nutcracker Prince and Keltic Salierno are the boxes between the white shelving. This also doesn't include any Peter Stones I am waiting on. Enjoy!

Wow, how do you do that lacing on the back of the saddle?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Windswept ISH and Angry TB!
I use cross stitching thread and lace it through, this is also how I lace reins. The Windswept ISH is hands down my favorite Peter Stone mold! Mr. Grinch is also a favorite of mine, he's so grumpy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, thanks!
DeleteYes, same here!
