Wear your STEEM! In support of @el-cr and @thatsweeneyguy 's Wear Your Steem initiative and contest, I worked up a prototype for a new way to WEAR YOUR STEEM...The Leather STEEM symbol buckle!
I had an extra hour to myself the other day so I used the time to make a prototype of a leather STEEM buckle. I was happy with how it turned out. I will be including this and other Steem/Steemit items in the Steemit Leather Shop, when I get around to opening it (time is a problem at the moment...but I will get it done).
Here are some process pictures...
The pieces parts...the back, the embossed and colored front and the leather buckle hardware.
Riveting on the hardware onto the now brown colored backing piece.
Glue the front onto the backing piece.
Sand the edges with a dremel rotary tool and dye the edges black and burnish.
After putting on several coats of clear acrylic finish, I am done.
Stay tuned for the next big project...the STEEMIT BELT.
As always, feel free to ask me any questions about, life, leather work and the universe. Upvote, follow and re-steem if you want to see more content like this. -- Armadilloman

Now that's cool! You're doing some great work! Wallets, the ledger Nano case, and now belt buckles!?
I've got big plans for #wearyoursteem, and it's great to see talent like yours taking part in it!

One of the long term goals is to start a merchandise line that will allow crafters like you to sell your apparel. The account hasn't been officially announced yet, but keep an eye on @wearyoursteem ;)

Thanks @queenvick! Leather is amazing stuff and no wonder it was the "plastic" of the world for thousands of years.
