Progress...

It has to have been nearly a year and a half or more since I have done a saddle. With Heathers encouragement I got over the I haven't done this in so long fear and made an attempt.

Although not exactly what I wanted to do, I figured I should start small and then go big. There is etched silver plates on this saddle and stamping. By all means it is gorgeous and has taken a lot of redos and time. In the future I want to add a lot of hand tooling to my saddles though. For now I just wanted to feel the excitement of completing a gorgeous saddle in a time I feel my work has improved drastically.

Go me!!

The bridle on the horse does not go with this set. I was just playing around :)
