The belt is made from seat-belts of a scrapped vehicle. The buckle came from a 60's elastic belt. Because the buckle is representing a leaf, I chose very simple flowers & butterflies for the embroidery. The outcome - a truly recycled project!

That is a nice thing to say Anna, thank you. The sun still shining eh? We have had cloud all day - much better for embroidering! :-)

Yes, thank you Iris2006, the seat belts are easily obtained, buckles which allow you to adjust size & fit easily, more difficult.
