A not-so-fancy leather dog collar :)

[Dreadhead]

My girlfriends wanted a new collar for her dog for ages and after seeing Lees beautiful collar posted up the other day i had plenty of inspiration so got stuck in.

you can certainly tell the difference between a collar made by a master like Lee and one made by me pottering about but it will do the job and was fun to make. i used 3-4mm veg tan leather with a 1mm veg tan lining. waxed linen thread. brass hardware. runes read 'Maggie' for the dog dyed with eco-flo all in one stuff then a coat of neatsfoot oil rubbed in

That's really nice. I promise you, if the dog is like either of mine, they all look the same after a few days.

ps....like that reindeer pouch too

I love it and I showed Maggie and she burped..so i'm guessing that means she likes it too x :You_Rock_

im sure it will look lovely once shes rolled in horse/goat/sheep poo at your work so time well spent
