Title: Last winters projects (Pics)
Post by: Rusty Izatt on July 04, 2007, 03:08:00 PM
I finaly got around to getting some film developed (yes I still use film, have not got around to purchasing a digital camera) of some of my leather and bead projects. Figured I would share them with you all. This is what I do in the winter when I can't be out shooting.
Hope you all like!

Absolutely Beautiful!! I truly admire that kind of work Rusty    :thumbsup:  

I'm very partial to the beavertail styled dag sheaths myself. Wish I took pics like you did with my "regular camera" at the peak of my beading days. Thank you for sharing      :campfire:

Thank you for all the kind words. I trully enjoy working with leather and beading. Keeps the mind and fingers active in the winter when there is not much to do.

Take care,
Rusty

Thanks for all the great comments.

Ironbull,
Not sure what "BBHC" is???

Shell,
I know what you mean about wishing you would have taken more pictures of your projects. I just started taking picures of my stuff a couple years ago. Have many years of projects that are just memories.

Thanks again,
Rusty

Beautiful Work My Friend!! Question: Being Disabled with a Bum Knee that MAKES DownTime, How does One Go About Learning the Beading Craft? Any and ALL Advise Welcome!

Shakes.602,
I am self taught, how ever there are a few good books out on beading. Beading is a great way to pass the time and you end up with some neet stuff. It gets a little hard on the eyes after a couple hours trying to thread those little beads on those little needles. I like searching the internet looking at old authentic bead work for ideas for new projects. You should give it a try, very rewarding hobby.
Take care,
Rusty

Thats kind of what I was thinking, that when I HAVE a DownDay, it would keep the Old Pea-Brain Active, much more than watching TV, ugh. Thank You for the Info, and I know I have seen Simple Kits at the Hobby Lobby before.
 I will do some Investigation on Ye Olde 'Net as well!! Thanks again!!
