This strap belongs to Shin Doi of Shinydoll, creator, designer, and sculptor of some of the world's most beautiful and poseable Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. It is one of the most painstakingly crafted pieces we have ever made.
The base is belt leather treated for softness, dyed red and painted yellow, with beveled edges that frame the yellow in red. Then the real work begins.
Each of Shin's sculpted figures was recreated in tiny, hand-cut raw kidskin, showing every ball joint, adhering as closely as possible to the look and proportion of his girls. Each figure was then airbrushed and shaded with pastels. The eyes are kidskin underlays. The bodies are as three-dimensional as can be achieved on a guitar strap. Even the hair is painstakingly cut from leather. Every figure was glued down and stitched to the strap, along with Shin's logo.
Every single part of this strap is leather. There is nothing else like it.
Sadly, we no longer have large photos of this strap. For a piece made with this level of detail, that's a real loss, but what you see here gives you a sense of what was achieved.
