Oh don't mind me. Just rubbing conditioner into the leather from a couch that is severely weather damaged before I see it into a LOTR ranger costume.

People keep making things, and it never really gets old. Natural leather, cut on our laser (it really stinks when it’s cutting!), then dyed, glued and finally stitched together into straps.

Exploring the secrets of the Roman Empire’s leather economy

A pioneering research project is expected to challenge current understanding of the leather economy of the Roman Empire, which has received little attention despite being central to ancient civilization, from military logistics to trade and daily life. This three-year project, led by Teesside University, will explore how to understand the production, distribution, and use of leather in ancient Roman territories, addressing long-standing gaps that have resulted from the poor survival of organic materials in the archaeological record...

The pockets of my shorts keep getting holes in them from my car keys rubbing through the thin pocket material.

I’m sick of repairing said pockets, so I made a little leather key fob pouch for my belt today.

I only recently discovered what is and I found out that "thinking omamori" makes a good use of my tons of scraps - even what I made is not omamori at all 😊

I've begun getting into leather work, my first project was a leather cover for my notebook. That turned out pretty good. My latest was a leather pouch, so I could learn stitching, not really straight stitches but not too bad.

This here is my most beloved creation, my final course project, an original design inspired by the valkyries myth and crafted completely by hand with only manual tools.
500h patterning, cutting, tooling, moulding, stitching, burnishing, dying, painting, hardenind, aging... Lots of time invested learning from basically zero, but not bad for a first armour!
It took me 4 years but I reached a point of being really proud of this

Horizontal pic of a woman on a green field wearing a leather full armor, an spear and a round viking shield. The armor is red with golden decorations of norse knots, a moulded semi-cuirass with a sword tooled on the center and a corset with two serpents intertwined, full golden tiara and bracers and greaves adjusted with golden cordTwo pics of the same armour on a black mannequin, in an old exposition room in wood and stone. The mannequin is visibly thinner than the woman before but the armour is aswell fit, making notable the fact that it is greatly adjustable. The different parts are now more appreciated, like the wings at the sides of the tiara, the decoration of the bracers and greaves and the straps of the cuirass and the corsetCollage of 5 very close detail pics of some pieces. The first two focused on the knot decorated tiara with the wings at the sides, single pieces of leather with each feather tooled and undercut and lifted individually, painted in aged golden. The front of the torso, with the breast moulded cuirass, the waist moulded corset and the tassets attached to the bottom of the corset by golden cord. A pic of one whole shoulder pad, 5 pieces overlapping with a chain of golden knots decorating the borders and a round piece both front and back of the shoulder. And the last is a very close pic of the braid lace stitching of the corset, intertwining golden and red leather laceAnother pic of the same woman as the first pic, on the same  green field, this time in a more relaxed posture, the spear resting, the shield facing to the ground, and the woman more side faced

To cut in these big hides feels a bit heart twisting, especially the thicker ones. One wrong cut and you can mess up alot
-
I have several big hides where I need to cut out the same pattern. It will be very good when finished ⚒️
-
Some nice surface and colour on this one 👌🏻

Bag done!

This thing took way longer than I expected (probably a good 15-20 hours) but dang it's cool.

A person wearing a green cloak facing away. Over the cloak they have gear strapped diagonal across their back, including a long, cylindrical brown leather bag (about 5 inches across and 15 inches long) that closes on each end with drawstrings, a bow (unstrung), and a black wool blanket rolled up.The same brown leather bag. It's being held up by a D-ring attached to one end. The top is open while the bottom is tied closed. You can see light tan hand stitching against the burnished brown leather.Another view of the bag. This time the stitched reinforced leather spine is fully in view, with D-rings at the top and bottom for attaching it to other things. A leather cord wraps loosely around the bag, tucking under the spine at several locations. It's not holding anything now, but would be useful for lashing things to the outside if the bag, or for lashing the bag to something else.

Three similar but very different pieces. One for a challenge, one for creativity and one for plain and pure fun

Four pics of the three dices, the group above in line over a brown pelt and a display of a dice set. Under it, individual pics of each one on a wood tablePics of the sides of each dice with the numbers carved already but with no colour yetPics of colour processes of the blue and emerald dices, using stretched baby wipes for the marble effect, and the numbers painted in an opposite colour to make it pop upPics of the dices during the stitching process. Multicolour thread for the blue dice and black thread for the emerald one, both doing a cross-stitch, and black thread for the bronze one, showing how it's subtle on the outside and completely invisible on the inside of the dice

Craftober 27:e oktober:
Nästa grej från syfestivalen. En materialsats för en liten börs som jag köpte av @clurigt . Inget avancerat men ändå något som fyllde mina 30 minuter den här dagen och som jag blir glad av.

English:

And these are the ones from the previous three years, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The oldest one shows some of my first leather pieces since I started my formation only one year prior. Until then, my crafting field was foam weapon replicas for LARP, swordcombat sparring and cosplay, something I start leaving behind me the more I was fall in love with leather
