Yer welcome, Marshall. I think just about any cammy and seeder will give the same effect. I didn't have the stamps that the old boy used on the belt in Peacemakers but the ones I had still gave the scalloped edge appearance.

Cheers,

I always thought it was pretty fun to combine different seeders, veiners and cammies to get something different. I used two different cammies alternately and seeded the larger one for these.

Just because you CAN ride the hide off a horse, doesn't mean you should.

I found out where I spotted the Frogskin look.

Here's a rope effect one ... http://www.johan-potgieter.com/leatherlearn/?p=31

More ropes ... http://www.johan-potgieter.com/leatherlearn/?p=32

And of course, you simply cannot have too many ropes ... http://www.johan-potgieter.com/leatherlearn/?p=33

Adios, amigos!

Great stuff, RT. It's really effective the way you used the two different camo stamps for the border. Those rope ideas are really effective, too. I'll be looking for a place to use one. Thanks for the contributions.

I don't want anyone thinking those are mine. Those are ones I found. Secondhand gold, you might say.

:D

Man, I had to look for a long time to find this topic again!

Remember a while back Ol' Horsepen said he'd been horsing around?  Well, here's what comes of Kentucky bourbon and too much time on a Sunday and waitin' on the leather supplier to ship my stuff! :D

If'n it'd got here on Friday, I wouldn't be drinkin' and horsin' around! :D

Great look, Kid. Isn't it interesting what you can do with one stamp. Thanks for the pic.

Remember to look on the FAQ thread for links. Most of the reference stuff is linked there.

X Pen....You don't have to ask to borrow it.  If'n it wasn't meant to be used, I wouldn't uv put it up here.  And I like easy when it works.  I just wanted to see what I could do with one stamp and that meander stamp was the one I grabbed. :D

Nope.  My horse, sadly, is no longer with us.  He was gettin' kinda old and feeble and he drank too much so I fed him some dynamite to perk him up a bit.  He acted like a colt for about 5 minutes and then fell over dead. ;D ;D

I split a handful of very entertaining posts off to their own thread. You can continue with it here: From borders to Bears

Here's another one I played with. It's the double meander pattern with some different stamps along the inside border.

A few hours later: I noticed that the lighting on the thing made it look like a reverse image so I rotated it over to look like it's correct, which it is but the scanner didn't get the lighting right. ;D

That's really nice Marshal!  I like the double meander and the sharp corner came out well. :)

Here's a close-up of the border on my left outlaw holster. The dotted lines on both sides are done by rolling a stitch marker along it..
