Introducing Buckstitch Becky's Customs!
The pin-up girl is not a permanent feature on the logo, but she helps set the tone! |
In Buckstitch Becky's Etsy store, I plan to offer my show clothing and custom vinyl decals but I also have a few other ideas cooking in my noggin. I've been working on the first round of my graphics: original images created by me. I started playing with these back when I made my tack locker sign, long before I imagined I'd actually own a vinyl cutter! I will also offer some stock images, such as the horseshoe, but I wanted to be able to offer something unique.

Here are some more examples of the graphics and the fonts. Keep in mind I'm still tweaking the images. For instance, I think I prefer the fine lines on the WP best... the SMS is a bit thick... I might fix that...

ReplyDeleteGRAPHIC: Western Pleasure facing RIGHT
FONT: Justa Cool Milo Chocolate Brown
COLOR: Chocolate Brown
OBJECT: Either a hat box (when I get one) or possibly on the trailer door
Other Graphics: Reining! Cutting! But one can dream...
BTW, I still am pondering that shirt order I wish to make with you. Have you seen any good fabrics out there?
I'm working on a reining one, but the slide looks weird with my line drawings so I'm playing with a spin instead. :)
DeleteI looked but there's really no decent selection of shirtings locally. :( Check out the shirtings on moodfabrics.com. That's where I found the black/bronze stripe (on my Pinterest) that I'm planning to use for mine this year. :)
I love vinyl decals - I have an "Apple"loosa halter horse one on my Mac laptop and definitely need one for my vet school computer too!
ReplyDeleteGraphic: Western pleasure facing right
Font: Amy & Bogey (dark font)
Color: silver indoor
Object: The top of my vet school laptop so I can show off all day long!
Ideas: I've yet to see a really great loping western pleasure decal and would love one but haven't found one - probably hard to make but would be really cool!
I love that you are looking into custom orders - way cool!
I've got a pleasure lope finished for you! It'll be unveiled as soon as my store opens. Stay tuned! And yes, if you win you can change your order to that one. :)
DeleteGraphic hunter under saddle facing right.
ReplyDeleteHope dark font
Color white outdoor
Probably my custom track trunk
Maybe bare foot symbol, trail riding, vaulting, therapy riding.
Trail is definitely on my to-do list! I'll add the others, this list is getting long!
DeleteGraphic : SMS with the horse facing right
ReplyDeleteFont : Rugged Saying 'Amber Rose'
Colour : Bright Pink Indoor :)
I will use it on my grooming bag probably :)
Other Graphics that I would like to see are a cowboy theme type of thing.
I love that you are doing this it is soo cool :D
Pink is totally my favorite! Just to be clear, this is a vinyl sticker, I'm not sure how well it'll adhere to fabrics or how much adhesive will be left behind upon removal. Can you be more specific with what you mean by cowboy theme?
DeleteI love pink it is definitely my favourite colour, If it won't stick yo my grooming bag, I will probably put it on my bedroom window :). I think racing around a barrel, or a cowgirl riding a hat herding up live stock, or a person and horse by an open fire. Does that make more sense sorry I wasn't that specific to start with. I also meant to say in my comment but totally forgot that I love your logo, it's really cool :)
DeleteI see! There's a couple in the works I think you'll like!
DeleteCan't wait to see them :) You are soo good at what you do :)
DeleteOoo Giveaway! Awesome :) & Can I just say that I am innnnnn love with your Etsy store graphic, "Buckstitch Becky" with the pinup cowgirl?! I want THAT as a decal haha, it is SO CUTE.
ReplyDeleteGraphic: WP facing Right
Font: Rugged Font
Text: Louisa & Jingle
Object: I love the laptop idea.. that would be too cute, so I might have to steal that from Amy.
Ideas: It would be cool to see a cutter with a cow, or a barrel racer turning a barrel, etc. That would be pretty neat. I love how simple the lines of your graphics are.
How exciting!!!! Love giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the pin up girl too!
Graphic: wp facing right
Font:Rugged
Text: Makin' Trax
Object: the pass side rear window of my pick up. So Silver outdoor. (2001 dodge ext cab)
Cool graphics,I had a tough time deciding. If I was going to design one that really fit my horse- it would be a girl on a horse at a dead run. (Hence the name- Makin Trax)
Good idea! I'll add that to my list! I think that image would work really nicely with the style!
DeleteGRAPHIC: Showmanship, horse facing RIGHT
ReplyDeleteRodeo font and just "Sam"
White or Royal Blue
Most likely my Hat can :)
Jumping, trail, maybe a western cross type of idea? They are really popular with the barrel racers around here.
