A right jolly old elf

Thanks. And thanks for the pattern. You should recognize several of the embellishments. The brown sheepskin on the front came from you as well as the buckles, d-rings, lion's heads and the cross on the front.

Now I think I'll figure out if I have enough leather in one color for one of my own, but I could mismatch it. That could be interesting.

Two of the ones I did for fellow formuites had the front and back pieces the same and the side and strap pieces contrasting colors. I thought them came out pretty well. If you used contrasting for the front and back the contrast would be visible looking straight on . if you don't decie to try it that way, I probably will someday, sounds interesting.
