Paul,
Beautiful work!
Quick question, under the green heart shape leather piece, did you stich the belt end to the top/outside face of the belt, or is the main belt leather slit as well, with the belt end being sewn to the inside/underside of the belt and feeding through both the main belt *and* the heart shape piece? If that sounds like a silly question, sorry! I'm new to these later period belts, so I want to get it right if I try one myself. It looks like you sewed it to the outside of the belt and then just covered it with the heart shape peice, but again, want to be sure...
Also, do you have any documentation which shows how long the belt end is supposed to be? I don't see the reason (besides fashion) for why the belt would be so long that you had to loop it under the belt several times.
