Round or oval brass thistle buckle?

you might consider having tyger make one for you. Here's some of his work I found using a search of x-marks:



This one is my favorite - really stunning! Would make an interesting medallion (smaller of course) for a sporran.

I agree, it's gorgeous. The nice gentle patina on the bronze (I'm assuming) is so soft, and really highlights the textures and stamping.

It gives me a few ideas about something I might have to have tyger work up, even though I rarely wear a belt.

I've been to Tyger's site and drooled on my keyboard, but his work is way beyond my budget right now.

I totally understand about tight budgets, but at the same time, does it make sense to save for exactly what you want or to spend 1/3-1/2 that amount on something else, and then later end up buying what you really want anyway?

A belt is rarely essential, it might be worth while to wait a bit and buy a custom piece that you'll really treasure.
