blackbard Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackR Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share 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..

maxman Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share 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.

blackbard Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 "Tuxedo strap" Interesting I was thinking a mix of black and white alligator. Something dressy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugoderosa Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talhah Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share 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.
