    I visited your website and you have some wickedly cool stuff going on there. Keep up the great work. Especially liked the wristbands with the slits and skulls. NiCe!

    Thanks guys. Once I get through the designing/pattern process, it's just a matter of production, but there's always just one more thing to do isn't there? ELAD www.eladsleather.com

    Visited your profile and you have a very nice style going on there. Dark and whimsical. I like it a lot. Keep it rolling and post more pics.

    I just wanted to share some pics of the completed Drow Ranger leather armor costume. I had never worn a wig or makeup for any of my pictures, so I was really pleased to see it all come together. This armor will be seen at Cirque Du Soleil, Florida "Festival of the Masters" show in September 2008 in the color green. This armor is black. www.cirquedusoleil.com This is my artistic interpretation of the look, created by the honored fantasy/sci-fi artist Todd Lockwood, for the Drow Ranger Drizzt Do'Urden of the novels by R.A. Salvatore.

    Visited your website and I like your goggle helmets. There's this guy (VladislausDantes) on deviantart.com who makes some things that would work with your helmets. There's a similiar feel to both of your work.

    I got mine from Infinity. A little pricey, but still doing the job. ELAD

    I am continually amazed with all of the different things you can do with leather. Nice job. Do post your other pieces.

    Nice website and excellent work ~ tooling & stitching especially. I like the finish you used on your Bare Bones piece. It works. I used a similar finish on this piece. I think it has a bone quality to it.

    I visited your website ~ COOL. The camo kilt & leather ones are my favorite. I like the style, very practical. I never realized how many things a kilt could hold. I make leather "War Kilts", here's one of my favorites. ELAD

    I went and visited your website and it appears you're pretty handy with the leather too. I like the add-on option for your customers. Good idea. ELAD

    I visited your website and WOW! Love the masks with the spindly things coming out of the top. ELAD

    Thanks for visiting the website guys, which is my wife's handywork. Nobody would know about ELAD if it weren't for her. Actually, one of the main reasons I have so many different pieces is because I'm a jack-of-all trades and a master of none. Everyday is a learning experience. I tried the oven baking thing, and yes, you do have to be very careful otherwise your leather gets brittle. Sunbaking is a little more forgiving, but I've actually had my leather get overbaked in the sun. Its pretty sunny here in Colorado. ELAD

    Dag, I use "Super Shene" as a finish. It works great for waterproofing the leather on the inside and out. It also gives an extra stiffness to the wet-formed leather. I didn't mention on my first post, that I like to let the wet-formed leather dry in the sun. That bakes it pretty well, and also hardens the leather even more. ELAD

    I use saddle skirting, which is usually about ten-to-fourteen ounces in thickness. I've found the thicker, stiffer leather tends to keep its shape better after being wet-formed. I wet-form my plates with tap water, temperature doesn't matter, and it hardens the leather well enough to take a beating. After I wet-form and dry my pieces, I apply a finish to the front and back, so that the formed pieces won't soften or lose their shape if your armor happens to get wet (sweat, weather, blood, gore).

    Azmal, Love your fantasy armor on Deviant. It is some of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot and made a lot. Great use of texture and color. I think your tooling skills are quite adequate for "blinging" out your armor. It looks to me like you're an armor-artist before a leather-artist, so that's where your focus should go. On the Lion armor ~ as mentioned above, most people won't notice the little differences on your tooling. Can't wait to see your sketch come to life. Keep up the amazing work ~ you rock! ELAD

    Dave, A very powerful image and nice. Please post when you get your order complete. ELAD

    Thank you for your valuable input. Actually, the cod piece can be worn on the inside because it is attached with chicago screws, as are the cuisses. My intention is that you can wear the war kilt with or without the cod piece and cuisses. Check out the Drizzt image that the armor is based on.

    Hello everyone, This is my first time on this site and I thought I would share with you a project I've been working on. Let me know what you think. Thanks, ELAD
