So.... I'm getting this strange feeling you want a leather key chain.... haha.

I don't have a maker's stamp yet (since I'm just starting), but even when I do get one it's going to be very simple(likely just a small "-BL-"). But if you want initials, one of my other stamps, or perhaps just one infinity to match hudson's collar I can do that. :)

I do want a keychain. I didn't get one from the dealer when I bought my car because i was planning on putting the one I got from Allie on it. I've since decided that I like Allie's keychain on my house keys because it's hard to lose. I want something smaller & lightweight on my car keys, that's. Just a soft, well loved, floppy piece of leather that's easy to stuff into a pocket.

But I also thought that it would be a good way to market your brand, at least a little bit.

I am so excited to get Quest's collar and leash. Those thin braided collars look very elegant!

They're in the mail and headed your way! I REALLY like the way the O ring one turned out. I made that one for Muffin and I'm considering making myself a bracelet to match. HaHa!

I made this one before I left for work. Trying to get samples done to start selling locally. I'm debating putting conchos on it. I also am debating making a double layer collar with the basketweave as well.



And I'm sorry about spamming my own thread. LOL. I'm on my phone, so it's hard to reply to things and near impossible to put everything in one post.

That makes it sound like you are going to scold me.

So SO will not be driving to NJ this week... Which means I will be in CT on Monday if you are available? Also, I told L&C we all need to meet up with dogs... We're thinking a Sat... But I think prob Aug bc she has vacations and stuff planned for the next months.

He is, but she said that she's going to be dropping/picking up later in the day I think... So not really a good "meetup" day. But that's ok... Bc we can just hang out with Hudson. HaHa.

I need to make a lot of pretty collars... Help me come up with ideas! And I still owe you your Xmas present. HaHa. I am a terrible person.

you guys are talking about me......
Please. tire my dog out while I'm away over the 4th, then he can sleep for a week before I take him on vacation with me on the 13th.


I love the basketweave design. Totally takes me back to my horse showing days, however long ago that was.

Um.... Well right now my smallest buckle is 1/2". Which braid would you want on it?
Click to expand...
I guess I would need to see examples of the different braid styles.

I also decided to play with the braided tag collar idea:


The O ring style can be made as small as 1/4 inch, the buckle style is 1/2 inch.

O ring style!!!!! Omg that is perfect. Do you think you could do a slip or no?

The Hudson came out glorious. I thought it was from a big name site when I saw it on Facebook.

I could do both a limited or full slip with the O ring style. And for a full braid, the bleed knot is the best actually (which is what is pictured).

And thank you for such an awesome compliment. :D

So seriously, xpaeanx, I need to start tagging you in those pictures on FB, or linking to your Etsy site, or something.

Oh I would love a limited slip with that bleed knot. What would that cost? Pm if more comfortable.

So, this may have already been covered, and apologies if it has, but are you able to do 2 layered collars?

I want a leather collar for Frodo, but his fur is so thick, I don't think you'd see a single.
