Binge Watching While Saddle Making

I love my new Microsoft surface. I also love Netflix. The two combined equals endless hours of binge watching Tv shows while tack making. While I did watch shows on my old tablet, I like the surface better.
My sister introduced me to the crime drama, The Killing, and the show has been a part of the making of this saddle. It’s a western sidesaddle.It still needs parts added, but I like it. Just like the show.

Mask It

I tried a couple of projects today.

None seemed to want to work.

So I started on a leather armor mask pattern. It’s supposed to be similar to the one in Lord of The Rings. Of course, this doesn’t have the details and other pieces that I want it to have. If I get the basic shape the way I want, the details will follow.

A Zombie Horse

I do sporadic things.
Especially after having a three hour class that deals with microeconomics.
I grabbed my Family Arabian Mare that I got at the flea market forever ago.

Then I went to town on her. Zombie horses, like zombie people, don’t have a list of ‘must have’ in order to be one.

Which is a good thing because I didn’t plan this out before take a heat gun to the model! She’s going to be Carl the zombie’s horse, because zombie things need to stick together, right?

A Western Side Saddle and Poetry Book

It started out as a mass of tooled leather.

Then it became a more organized jumble of leather.

Now it’s beginning to look more like a saddle.

I never realized just how many pieces there were to a western side saddle! Yet, even though there are many pieces, it’s been alot of fun so far.
A while ago I got a letter in the mail saying that a poem I had written had been selected to be put into an accolade. I found my copy in the mail today!
