blackbard Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Posted in the Breitling area by mistake although it will fit my S/A.... I decided to let the artsy fartsy nature come out with a new line.....I really want to start doing some unique artisan pieces for myself and others and here is one of my first prototype pieces. 6mm thick calfskin with hornback accents and accent stitching. Let me know what you think... Enjoy...
maxman Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe you can take a pic with the strap on a watch BB,It's different thats for sure
blackbard Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 I'll do that.... Yep, kinda funky...
hackR Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 my two cents... i like the curved tail but prefer stitching all the way around the edge... not so sure on the peekaboo look, tho....my first thought was that this would be something Mike would wear...so that should say enough...

LOL. Always appreciate your opinion... It was an interesting moment of creativity....I like the end and will do more with that. The peekaboo was a prelude to something I've been toying with. Kinda a racing strap without being open to the air...Winter version if you will....Also a way to get the horns with a more dressed down version..
blackbard Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 I personally do not like it at all! Thanks....I'll do better next time...
hackR Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 LOL. Always appreciate your opinion... a little New Year's humor...
blackbard Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 a little New Year's humor... We need more to help overcome the bills after Xmas...

maxman Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 This may not be a strap for everyone but I think you just might be on to something here BB. If the stitching were boxed and maybe a different color. Maybe a different type of material for the "peekaboo window, It's funky,I like that In a strap.

I believe it has uses, for example a tuxedo strap...
maxman Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Good advice. Thanks. I believe it has uses, for example a tuxedo strap... "Tuxedo strap" Interesting
blackbard Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Posted January 4, 2011 "Tuxedo strap" Interesting I was thinking a mix of black and white alligator. Something dressy....
ugoderosa Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 I like the creativity. Play by your own rules. For me personally, I think a shape other than a circle for the peak-a-boo portion might work better (lines, or a rectangle, multiple rectangles?), but, different strokes for different folks. Keep up the good work!

Talhah Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 The peekaboo bit reminds me of a dead fishes eye that was left out in the sun. Personally I prefer a more natural shape with subtle details and accents. The dark blue does not work on that. Maybe turquoise stitch would have went better. My 2cents

Been revised based on feedback...I like the fisheye bit..
maxman Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks. Been revised based on feedback...I like the fisheye bit.. Might be perfect for a Brietling SF
blackbard Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Posted January 18, 2011 Might be perfect for a Brietling SF Quite right! Its actually a squid's beak...
