Tina Report post Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) The quiver with the sea dragon (and swirls) I also used hair-on-cow on. This is also my first prodejt where I used my new air brush, I love it . Some colors is Angelus spirit dyes, others is acryllic paint. I also used Fiebings Hi-Liter. There is some metal details here like D-rings and two bucles. All hand sewn. The Wild boar quiver has some soft rabbit fur. Here is all colors Angelus spirit dyes except small details in white & black (eyes only) and some air brushed on, ontop is the old Tandy middle brown antique. This quiver is made totally without any metal parts but the straps is still adjustable. All hand sewn. Edited February 6, 2011 by Tina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post Posted February 6, 2011 Those turned out really nice Tina!! I like the way the tooling goes with the hair on hide. The straps without hardware look neat too. You always come up with the neatest ideas. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tina Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Thanks a Million guy's and gal's :-) ClayB...I had to invent something, the LARP (reenactment) people don't like to see modern rivets or buckles. When not in the US anymore there is a limitation of what I can get my hands on in an easy way and without paying loads of tax/custom/shipping fees *grrrr*.

Dmitri Report post Posted March 21, 2011 Tine: absolutely stunning. it is a shame that there is not much for SCA in Europe, we don't mind buckles....lol When I saw the boar on the design I got excited, I thought it might be for a local grou[p who uses it for thier emblem. But, once again...just WOW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, once again...just WOW Thanks a load:-) The group can not use my boar, it is drawn by me from scratch from a boar photo but they might have something similar? There is just sooo manny ways to draw a boar with swirls and anyone that have seen my work the last few years knows...I Love swirls *LOL* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benlilly1 Report post Posted April 26, 2011 Tina, I've been asked by my son-in-law to make him a quiver. Before he asked me this I didn't know what a quiver was. He is really into hunting and wants me to make him a bow case and quiver out of an elk hide he shot on a trip to Montana. This is a prized possession and I don't want to ruin this hide. The question I have is the hair is attached and I need to know how to sew this. Do I cut back the hair to be able to sew it? I saw your photos and thought you could be of help. Thanks The quiver with the sea dragon (and swirls) I also used hair-on-cow on. This is also my first prodejt where I used my new air brush, I love it . Some colors is Angelus spirit dyes, others is acryllic paint. I also used Fiebings Hi-Liter. There is some metal details here like D-rings and two bucles. All hand sewn.

The question I have is the hair is attached and I need to know how to sew this. Do I cut back the hair to be able to sew it? I saw your photos and thought you could be of help. Thanks Hi Ben :-) I did not cut back any fur on either one of the quivers. The Hair-on-cow was the easy one, the fur is "stiff" and it was just so sew right on to the tooled pieces. The rabbit, a wee bit more tricky...The fur finds it self in to every little stich and hole. I taped back the fur as hard as possible with some of that blue masking tape, (but I'm sure any masking tape will do) then it was "just" to sew the fur onto the tooled pieces. I remeber I did glue the delicate rabbit fur onto some piece of leather (just laying around) with more substance to it. I hope this will help you or that other might jump in here and give some tips on the topic. Wishing you Good Luck//Tina Edited April 26, 2011 by Tina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
