That beach is incredible!!

Okay, I should probably make a new thread for this but as a follow-up, here's a definitive belt pouch... from 1300-1100 BC! Wizard Bag from Hvidegaard DO-2330.jpg Hvidegaard_Overview.jpg https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fnatmus.dk%2Fhistorisk-vide...

Ah, I feel bad now for hijacking Shadrack's thread about his new pouch. That's a good point regarding the Sutton Hoo find. When it comes down to it, pouches are written about in Tolkien. That's what matters for our purposes here. I was simply curious about historical examples to inform the design an...

Very cool Manv! I had never seen that pouch before but I like it! When you mention that "we have belt/girdle purse finds from Viking sites", I assume you are referring to the draw-string bags? Those were the only ones I could find that were firmly identifiable as a pouch. As far as whether...

Almost daily I am inspired by the members of this forum. I love the look of that turned out pouch! I just might do the same myself!

Yes, no pressure here but a small run would be most intriguing.

Oh, those look great!!

Very nice! I've been wanting to make a new arm guard soon so this is great to read!

Quite fascinating to see the subtle things that might have influenced the Professor as he created the legendarium.

Oooh, very pretty! Honestly, this is really kinda selling me on the turtle design vs the cut-out circle that I had been imagining.

Happy Birthday to one and all!

Oh, no doubt. I am finding this thread to be very interesting and I am also excited to see what our more creative artists here will design!
