Ok, time to see where I'm going with the new holster. For normal carry, in town and the woods, I cobbled together a quick shoulder rig. When I say quick, there is no tooling, dyeing, or even a finish. Just nekkid leather. It wears just fine, but, still a bit of a chore to pull.
For those special occasions, I want something a little nicer. I wanted to try doing roses, but didn't want it to turn out "girly", so I went a little dark. By all means, please dissect this, and tell me what I could have done different, what I should change, if I should start over, or just scrap it all together. I want to do a full on Buscadero belt with it, but, if this isn't working, no reason to make the belt.
I had started out with a color scheme of dark brown, and black out most of the center, and sort of changed up when it came time to dye. I tried to give it a sepia type effect, just not sure it is working. The rose came out nice, the leaves will take more practice. I'm not sure if I need to make the leaves bigger, or get finer tools, but most of the pointy sawtooth edges didn't come out right. Once again, I lost a lot of detail and depth when I dyed it.
