Mimic Dice Box

Recommended Posts

So I got the pattern from Leather Hub (see patterns forum) and had a go, I am really pleased with the result 

it’s a mix of leather, all veg tan going from 1mm for the eyes, 2mm for the decorative straps, 3mm for the feet & horns up to 4mm for the box shape, this was done more to use what I had than any other reason.

a mix of fiebings, tandy & angelus dye & paint, lined with a faux suede material that is glued in the lid but stitched in to the body.

Ivan domed rivets and button stud, 1mm waxed thread from Amazon

the eyes were made with cast resin with a paper printed pattern glued to the back
