Thank you for your kind words. This is the first time I've worked with leather and it's been a great discovery! I can't wait to make more stuff with it. Perhaps I'll try making a pouch next...Manveruon wrote:I'm really enjoying the discussion about Dunedain/Imladris relations! Perhaps you're right about splitting the thread, because I think it's worthy of its own discussion - especially since the topic seems to come up in conversation not infrequently around here.
As for the rest, I absolutely love the belt! Your work is beautifully clean and finished! And I especially like your idea of folding the flesh side of the leather out instead of in for the fold-over. I live for little unique details like that. I've got one of those buckles from the Iron Ring too, and I'm quite fond of it, though I haven't yet found a use for it. I originally bought it for my wife's Mirkwood Elf garb, but never ended up using it. I may finally have to make a belt for it!
Anyway, very nice! I can't wait to see more of your kit come together!

Re: New Belt
That's your first piece? Wow! Nicely done!
I'm looking forward to seeing your pouch.
I very much hope my lore rambings wasn't putting you off! Your work is lovely, and I can't wait to see how it wears in and what else you come up with.
Again, welcome!

Don’t worry about it! I like this kind of discussion, and the different points of view and speculations :)Elleth wrote:That's your first piece? Wow! Nicely done!

And yes, that is the first thing I’ve ever made with leather. I will make sure to take pictures of the actual making of the pouch, not just the finished product :P

Re: New Belt
Yes! I get very distracted by the actual making of the thing and then I suddenly realise that it’s been hours, the work is finished and I haven’t taken a single picture. Oh well!Iodo wrote:Progress photo's, there's something I always forget to do, but I always remember that I should have once I finishMithdir wrote: I will make sure to take pictures of the actual making of the pouch, not just the finished product
