After lots of waiting for help on using the new decal machine at work, and plenty of trial and error (mostly error), I think I finally got the noseband detail pretty well set. I know it's a tad tilted, but that's about as good as I can do with this. I end up putting it on blindly, so that's not too bad for not being able to see! Very happy for today :-)

Saddle almost done
I'm just about finished with the saddle. I'm trying a new material for padding on the bottom...rubber! Well actually, it is like a liquid plastic, but it feels rubbery when baked. Remember those Creepy Crawler Kitchens from way back when? Its that kind of material. I had a heck of a time getting it to bake though. You're supposed to do it on a low temp for I think 15 min, well that didn't do anything. I ended up baking at 100 degrees hotter and 3x as long. Also not the best idea, but it did set-up. I think my goo is too old!
Anyway, I like the results thus far...hopefully my customer does too!
