Half Hitching

Below are a few half hitch creations of mine beginning with the can koozie.  I made the hitching for this item very dense and it insulates quite well.  To be exact, it contains 350 half hitches and a pewter skull on the draw string for a finishing touch.

Next is a similar item I made for a water bottle.  Not much different here with the exception of the two tone look by adding the black cord towards the bottom.

This is just an example of a less dense hitching pattern.  This works well for wine bottles too.

 This one is a cool touch for a candle or a pen/pencil holder for your desk.

Another Custum Necklace

Here is another custom necklace I made for a biker buddy of mine.  It also was made using the four strand round braid in black and O.D. green with two pewter skulls and a stainless steel shackle for the clasp.

New Design for my Ranger Beads

If you look at the April post I did on ranger beads you will get a more comprehensive explanation of their uses and some more examples of designs for them.  Here is my newest design offering in a less reflective and more tactical look.  The beads are made of wood and are as you can see skulls.  And they can be worn as a necklace or clipped to your gear via the D-ring.

Fobs, Lanyards and Key Chains

There really is not much difference between a fob, lanyard or plain old key chain.  It simply depends on how you use them or what size you make the loop.  You can look in my archives to see other examples of these but here are the latest ones I have made for my customers.

Below in yellow and green are the high school colors of a friend of mine. (School colors are a popular theme with my customers).  This "key chain" was done with a square sinnet that blends to a round/crown sinnet and then back to square with a pewter skull bead at the top.

This one is called a rattle snake knot for obvious reasons.

These are just basic square sinnets finished by a lanyard knot.

Custom Stuff on Request

Here is a custom necklace that was requested by a repeat customer of mine who rides a motorcycle in a club.  I made it with a four strand round braid and wove in some pewter skull beads as accents.  It can be quickly converted into a flail by undoing the clasp and attaching something heavy to the end.  Just an example of one of the custom orders that I have filled recently.
