now that it has hit the tube i can show the leathergoods i made for the closing ceremonies....a guitar strap for neil young.
David Atkins Etn. contracted me to create a gift for ‘a prominent Canadian artist’ (they wouldn’t tell me who)...a guitar strap that would be used during closing ceremonies...it was Neil Young.
photo credit: Cameron Spencer/Getty ImagesThey gave me the length, the art work and I designed the strap. The graphics you see are images designed by First Nations artists from each of the the Four Host First Nations .
the round presentation case was my idea. I though the strap should have a beautiful case for it. the artwork on the top was designed by Jody Broomfield...
...thank you Anna Maidon, John Powell, and Paxton Downard for the wonderful experience.
Beautiful! I'm buying one of your wallets for my boyfriend for Christmas. Thank you for your quality work.
