Recent Notes

A night of painting. Working in some of the color into the WIP wallet from Beserk.

All red may be a bit challenging but i am going to play with the shading of it. Layering that base red over the black is important since Black is a harsher color it takes a few layers to get that base down.

From there i will probably end up doing a darker red, just to start getting a more shadowed feel in it. Same for the Rose, and then the final will be doing some small detailing with Black.

Nice workbench

Finally able to get someone to work on a web page for me! Big steps. Any other thoughts? Feel free to toss in some ideas as well please.

The dream is a few galleries with photos of work I have done. Nice pictures of them (going to try and be professional) where you can select a photo and have it open up more images of the piece, a description and average pricing. Also it would allow customers to submit for a quote on custom work. Eventually I think blog style work would be cool and if im coordinated enough i will do mid process photos for the pieces as well.

Hello all!

Just a view of a belt I made for the Ren Faire. It is a ring belt, and it is all hand stitched down the side, hand dyed and hand painted.

This also shows the pattern piece I did as a template for all the colors and stitching. This i usually do to send over to a customer for approval.

Happy Thursday all! Here is a few photos of a sheath I did.

Everything is hand cut, measured, dyed, and stitched.

The finish on it is the usual. Leather Balm, a resister, and Mink Oil!

Let me know if you have any questions!

How do you make the colorful part
Archaic Smithing profile picture
Hey Dan - so there are a few steps involved there and probably more than you were looking for lol.

The design itself is carved in using a tool called a swivel knife. Then to get it “popped” from the background you use a beveler and hammer.

From there I used an angelus leather paint. After I apply desired coats or colors I wait for it to dry.

Next to have the color stay more vibrant/stand out a bit before staining I added a resist clear coat (usually I apply 2 coats).

Hope this helps!
