Oracle.
I learned a lot making that strap. Making it look symmetrically was huge effort. In strap making even 1mm may make meaningful difference. Maybe you are wondering does general stitch is made with one piece of thread? Answer is yes, well actually ~250cm thread was used to stitch it, of course overall thread length used to stitch was longer. Oracle is certainly the biggest and the most time consuming strap I was working on so far. Thanks for reading!

Some piece of news
Dear friends, today I have finished last strap from the 11th new ones!!
That was a lot of enjoyable hours, thinking, designing, creating, and making thoughts come true.
What to say - I love them! they are special to me in every aspect.
I need to borrow camera to take some shots so I will update photos soon.
You can expect innovative ideas e.g. strap where buckle is situated next to your watch on the front side of your wrist instead of backside:)
Moreover I have finished another Moon Dust buckle.
Below picture taken by... cellphone. I think thats pretty good shot.

Buckles
Finally I have finished my buckles. However the basic shape is machine cut, they are 100% finished by hands using files, sandpaper and vice, NO grinders and other electric tools. Actually I have not ever seen truly handmade buckles. Even though they are 5mm thick! and are not bent, they fit as well good or even better than bent ones, as they are hand filed on the back side - you can see it on the 3rd picture, actually I have a free workout for myself while doing that:)
I use my buckles daily, and to be honest I cant imagine using any others.

Bravery
According to past times I have created Bravery strap. It comes with stitched Maltese cross on loose keeper, which symbolizes 8 points of courage. Strap is actually a little bit longer, as shield makes wrist circumference larger. To sum up it is extra comfortable and unique strap with a knight character.
Freedom
Feng Shui, Wu Xing and the Fire element
Feng Shui uses the theory of Wu Xing - the five elements theory. This strap represents the Fire element. Just to have a choice which one to use it comes with two loose keepers with characteristic fire design, also both with flame stitched. I had a really great time making it.
Thanks for watching, enjoy:)
Ace of Spades
A little bit of hazard this time. Every one like to have Ase of Spades in hand, in order to possibility having it on your hand I have combined leather and cards. 'A' letters, spades, black thread make it one and only manly strap Farther stitched spade on the loose keeper additionally made strap more characteristic and unique.
Couldn't refrain from putting on the picture Johny Walker 12(14) years old from anniversary edition "100 years of the striding man".
Synergy
Sea and adventure - Barbarossa
Now something related to sea and adventure - sailing. Strap's name is Barbarossa. Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha was one of the most famous pirates ever. However it is not the only one connection with sailing. Strap is actually cut along the edge (you can see it on the picture), jus like a ripped sail, and stitched using method which is used to repair ripped sails.
Moon Collector
Whispering Forest strap
Whispering forest is very special strap. You can see there a big tree and the skull which is made from branches. Moreover whole "drawing" is visible only from proper angle when light reflects to your eyes directly, otherwise it is actually "hidden".

Engineer and the ASCII code
Today I would like to present you Engineer strap. Well, it was pretty time consuming to came up with this design. Probably during watching it you will notice that there are a lot of 0 and 1 numbers - its the ASCII code which I used to mark strap with its name and the date of finishing it. Every sequence of 8 numbers represents each letter of the Engineer and the date - 26.02.2010, I hope 3rd picture shows it briefly. More info about ASCII code you can easily find using google search.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
