Messenger's Relic

I would like to share with you Messenger's Relic strap with completely unique stitching ( I have never seen it before). So it is probably the first strap ever made using this technique.

Shoot the breeze

I havent written here for couple of weeks...so I decided to put sth here ;)
Picture You can see below was taken on the sailing voyage. I had a great time there. Fresh fishes, hot sun, moving thanks to wind power, sleeping on a boat, drinking beer, laughing with each others - who wants more?

Later, when I got back to home, besides reading books etc I decided to make some new straps as I received new leather... Pictures soon :)
