Very happy to announce one of my handmade guitar straps is being worn by Jake Heaton on this year's Sky Arts Guitar Star. All the best to Jake, he's an excellent player and he deserves to do well!

Currently making a red rose guitar strap. Work in progress, available soon!

Bevelling the edges to add relief and dimension to the design.

Backgrounding to add texture. The tool I use is approximately 2mm across, ideal for getting in small gaps, but takes time to do a whole strap.

Dying the background using a dark brown oil dye to make the design stand out.

Quick update, it's finished and is now available from the online shop.

New range of wallets soon to be available in my shop, including this one which features my new maker's stamp bought from Jeff at Grey Ghost Graphics, South Carolina. 

Recent custom order for a local Liverpool Football Club fan and fishing enthusiast.
