1st Project: Bracers

[emablue]

Hi. I'm Star. Got into leather working recently. Mostly because I needed bracers for SCA Archery. 

These are my first attempt. Not too bad. Need to work on getting the background more even. I think that's just more practice.

Looking to try my hand at a quiver next. Specifically a Hun- style side quiver.

Hey! I like the idea and the figure too! And i like that color! Do you mixed it?

If you need some help at "hun" things just send me a PM. I dug myself deep into scythian,hun,hungarian ornamentation ect.

Ahh, another SCAdian that dove headfirst into Celtic knotwork on a first project. Why do we do that to ourselves?

[Grey Drakkon]

Because CELTIC KNOTS.   Funny, looks like we have an East Coast, Central, and West Coast SCA member each posting here now.

I would love to try one of those knots but my eye just cant seem to follow the pattern

nice work

 

kiwi, try doing it on a full 48" belt

[Grey Drakkon]

Kiwi, it's "simple", in that it's always an over/under pattern.

Celtic knots was an after thought. I wanted Ravens! Lol. 

I did mix the color myself. Learned right away to make more than I think is necessary. 

Youri,  I love your work already and may ask some questions later.  I'm actually descended from the Hun and speak Hungarian. So if you need translating, let me know.
