Kelly and I decided to develop a new “Western Line”. That involves making appropriate Dies to be struck. We hope you like the work so far.

You see sketched out Die ideas. Then you see Engraved and Carved Steel. It’s all a lot of work.

We like them so far. Friendly Comments?

The larger piece of Artwork is approx. 1 3/4” - 2” tall

The smaller Square is approx. 5/8” sq.

There are all manner of items that can use these.

Can you think of any? I’ll have to get them side by side for you to visualize.

Gary

I like them both!
I'm not really sure which one is larger are smaller. Maybe we need to se them side by side.

Hello Scott,

Thks for commenting.

These are both Dies. One on the end of a shaft. One on plate steel.

The horse inside the horseshoe is the smaller. Such that a few might be embossed on a Cuff Bracelet.

The stylized Horse of a heart shape, is the larger. It might be used to print a Pendant or a Belt Buckle. I’ll make a couple pieces. I’m glad the artwork appeals.

Hello Gary,

Nice to see you back at making things. A western motif, I can see that becoming a seller as there are so many that like the western apparel and lifestyle. Even see it around here, some country folks dress the part and even wear the cowboy hats.

Wish you all the best as you find different things to make using the punches.
