New work

Thu Oct 1, 2009, 2:06 AM
A batch of new works, photos from over the summer and some of my most recent leather working to come - with luck an image a day for the next couple of weeks.

I've just completed two big(ish) personal projects that let me develope some new techniques - some parts of which I'm even pleased with (which is rare). The majority of the photos (I am less pleased with) come from a two day break I managed to have up to the high-lands which I managed to squeeze about work.

My un-photographed experiment from last month has been finished and actually work so I'll have to sort out some pictures of that.

Hope that everyone who bothers to read this is well, though I feel slightly hungover.

Yes, they are definitely helpful.
I've got a square meter of veg-tanned leather 3mm thick incoming next week and first of all I will be making a mask with it that has no facial expression ( spooky! :P ) and that will be boiled(or hot-water treated) so I can work on it's shape and have it stay in that shape "forever".
With the left overs I will try and produce some kind of armor used in LARP ( as will the mask ) so it doesn't have to have a real protection value as long as it looks like it could protect.

That kind of thing is pretty easy to do. It's deffinitely worth playing around with hot water and scraps first just to get a feel of it and get used to the shrinkage and working time.

I'm not sure you'll have enough to do a harness from 1m^2. Maybe if you're small enough and you're efficient with your parts - making a good pattern will help you there. Making and then getting to wear your own armour is a great feeling so I wish you all the best with it. If you have any questions during the build just let us know.

Not at all, your work is interesting (not to mention good). I've always wanted to give tablet-weaving a go myself. How hard is it to pick up?

Slightly easy. There is a bunch of tutorials online.

I've seen some, but getting a pattern in seems pretty complex. I guess it is easier to see what do to with the gear in hand - I'll have so get some time free and give it a go. I always find it hard to get anything to trim garments with.
