The detail of the horse heads, the singularity of the pommel, the filigrees, the Nordic-inspired blade.... It's one of those designs that always haunts my mind, and, despite it being a challenge, I felt it was a natural next step in my leather carving and moulding skills. It's been six months of slow progress in my free time, but I couldn't be happier with the result

Collage of 6 pics of different stages of the hilts' shaping. The first shows the top layer of the guards tooled on the leather with the shape of the ring beside traced. The second shows both hilts assembled, 4 layers of leather glued together, the handles carved and sanded roughly, the pommels only traced with a pen on the block of layers, and the tooled layers of the guards missing. On the third, the tooled layer is glued to the rest, the pommel is roughly carved in the trapezoidal shape and there is a piece of leather with the final layer of the pommel tooled and still uncut; one of the hilts is facing down showing the back part where the strap will be attached and the stud is placed in the pommel. The three pics behind show the final aspect of the hilts unpainted: a general view of both hilts, one grabbed and one on the cutting mat, a very close up pic of one of the horses neck, the textures of the filigrees and the mane at the external border; and a pic of the corners of the pommels, an almost hidden part from most of viewpoints, with more filigrees carved with a pyrograph
Collage of 4 pics showing the moulding process of the blade/straps. First, both straps side by side, one undyed and only the fullers carved along the center, and one black with only the edges moulded downwards. Behind, both pics of the straps making an eight loop to show the maximum possible of the volumes, and both with the fullers and the edges completely done. And last, a very angled pic from the hilts, the belts resting on a bed, with the lightning heavily from the side upwards to show the volumes of the pieces when they will be assembled
Collage of 8 pics of the painting process. First, two pics, one of the hilts and one of the straps, only painted in white on the most prominent volumes. The second pair of pics shows a black layer on the nooks and crannies and most of the surface, but the most prominent volumes still white. The next pair shows the first layer of metallic painting, dark bronze and thin silver. And the last pair shows the final layer, a lightly darker and a brighter golden for the hilts, the handle already dyed, and a glowing silver for the blades
Last collage of finished work, both belts laying stretched on the lawn and pic taken from above. A close pics of the hilts and part of the blades, light difuminated from behind. A close pic of the tips of the blade/straps, the longest slightly darked than the shorter. And both belts placed around the waist of a mannequin but showing the back part with the brights and shadows highlighting the volumes of the edges and fullers

"The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth Èorlingas!"
As emblematic as Narsil or Sting, and just as tied to its bearer, is Herugrim, the sword of the king of Rohan Théoden. And, for me, one of the most beautiful works of forge and blacksmithing ever designed

Collage of 3 pics. The top one shows the two belts looking like one of the swords from The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, metallic golden rounded guard and pommel, and metallic silver moulded blade, edges at both sides, two fullers along the center and three small holes nearing the tip; they are resting on a wood bench, the light of the sun from above. The second pic is a close up of the belts, the straps (that are the blades) rolled up a metal bar by two loops and closed by the hilts (that are the buckles), the sunlight more indirect and the metallic. The third shows them both placed around the waist of a mannequin with a leather armour, the lightning coming from the side. The guard shows two horse heads facing each other with celtic-like filigrees carved inside, and the pommel has a tropezoidal shape, wider near the handle, with more filigrees at the front
Collage of 5 pics. Another general pic of the belts extended on a stone step, this time on the shadows with indirect light. A close up pic from the front of the hilts on the ground. At the center, the belts view from the side, rolled up on a metal bar, direct sun light hitting hard and striking similar metallic sparkles from both the real metal bar and the metallic painting on the belts. Frontal pic of the belts hanging on a wall made of stones, sun light filtering through the treetops. And the last one is a very closed up pic of the details on the guardas, the volumes of the filigrees and the ring beside it

A regressive #ArtvsArtist of my work, to summarize some of my fave pieces and offer a perspective of my range. These are 2024 to 2021, four intense years where I focused on learning some side skills and kind of found my foot. Sadly, also tumultuous years that made me step aside a bit from crafting (against my will) and prioritize other things right now, still in hopes of coming back in some years

Collage of 5 pics: a vertical pic of the Warrior Nun and the Xena leather swordbelts, painted in metallic bronze and silver hanging from a metal bar; 10 metallic cross shaped leather keychains and a metallic Lórien leaf pendant; a leather chest shaped and adorned as a fantasy mimic, simulating wood, metal, horns and organic parts, with big fangs and tongue coming out from the lid; two unpainted leather carved hilts shaped as Théoden's sword for two new swordbelts, and, in the middle, a selfie of me, with long hair down, green hoodie and a proud smile
Collage of pics. At the center, a selfie with am elvish helm in green and golden leather and leaves along the sides. The rest of the pics are also leather pieces. A Viking seax sheath with a knot art carved with a raven head in shades of brown, aged and with rabbit hair at the border. A phoenix with open wings and a big tail carved and textured in leather. Owl feather earrings textured and moulded. A black wand sheath to hang on the belt witha silver moon and star carved and red scales that bright in shadows of blue. A tridimensional iron maiden painted in silver and with spikes in the interior to hang jewelry. A LoTR inspired leathercuff in green with silver Nenya and the inscription of the ring and some vines painted in gold. A pair of bracers with the new logo of D&D carved in 3D and painted in bronze
Collage of 9 pics. At the center, a woman with leather black choker shaped as a shirt collar. Around: picture of a green, yellow and red stegosaurus pencil case, almost front view. A bunch of leather flowers: magnolias, lilies, roses, tulips, orchids, with different colours and effects, realistic and fantastic. A leather dice bag with a D20 shape, marbled painting effects in white and blues, grey thread, golden carved numbers and a dice with two barnacles carved and painted in gold too. A chakram and a rapier hanging on a stick, made of foam and painted simulating old steel. A belt like a Celtic inspired sword, buckle made in leather being the handle, and painted in silver, bronze and brown. A brown and green sporran with Bilbo's door from LOTR decorating the cover. Three dice bags as dices, a D20 with malachite look and bronze numbers and thread, and two D12, an old bronze w Roman numbers and a blue w futuristic yellow numbers. And three tiny sunflowers, two pendants a beard bead
Collage with several product photos. A winged bracer with iridescent painting simulating the colours of a raven (black with blue, green and violet highlights), three sporran-style belt pouches with shield-shaped covers (simple silver warrior's, red and black heraldic with a griffin and a hippocampus, and a plain brown Viking one), an antiqued bracer with a Viking dragon carving, two belts (a studded brown one with an old gold buckle, and a silver and blue one with dwarf-style borders), selfie wearing a facehugger mask (from Alien), red and gold women's armour (consisting of breastplate, corset, shoulder pads, scarcels, bracers, greaves and winged tiara), detail of a carved dog's paw with textured hair and a triskel on the larger pad, two sash belts (one black and sober and one aged with a barbarian design), and three flowers (a violet iris, a pink and yellow tulip, and a white magnolia)

Starting all over again here in mastodon, let me re-introduce myself:
Spanish leathercrafter, armour-maker, fantasy-lover, appearance-deceiver, wing-witch, always-learning and sapphic-fangirl.
I love a good challenge (as long as my regular job and my neurodivergent ass let me).
All 100% handmade (my only mechanic tools are a dremmel and a sewing machine I still didn't learn how to use)

Two pics in vertical. The first shows the right side of a green and golden fantasy leather helmet, with border decorations, protection for the cheeks but not the rest of the face and some leaves made with modelled leather and painted in diferent colours; the helm is on a head mannequin made of leather too The second pic is a woman wearing a red and golden leather armour (cuirass, corset, pauldrons, tassets, bracers, greaves and a winged tiara, all decorated with viking inspired knots and filigrees), a viking spear and a round shield
Collage of two vertical pics. The first is a very close photo to a leathercarving, the face and torso of a witch, with a hat, a long braid and a tunic waving, painted in black with some highlights of the volumes embossed, and with the sunlight making the embossed volumes standing up. The second is a pic of four wing bracers painted differently (golden one, red and yellow like a phoenix other, a rainbow the third and a ravenous blue the fourth), all with feathers textured and undercut to make them look real
Collage of two horizontal pics. The first is a cilindric case with a cap and a long strap, and an square board game Tak, from the novel The name of the wind. Decorated with leaves a flowers motifs, the Tak logo in the center of the board and the top of the cap and in different tones of brown. The second are three sporran bags with lids crafted as medieval shields: a simple steel triangular shield, a viking one textured with the wood planks and a noble coat of arms in red with a bronze griffin and a silver hippocampus carved in the leather
Collage of two horizontal pics. The first is a close up to some triangular pieces of leather perfored through the whole borders and with numbers embossed in the center. They are painted in white, blues and grays making it look like marble. The second are 15 flowers (tulips, orchids, magnolias, lillies and roses) modelled from leather and painted in different colours (from realistic flowers to fantasy combinations of colours and even metallic ones). On the top left corner, some pairs of leaves also modelled in leather

No longer available, it found a home.

If anyone in Sydney (prepared to come to the Eastern Suburbs) crafts in leather, or knows someone who crafts in leather, I have a bag of leather pieces looking for a home. There are four of the largest size (in the photo, 30cm ruler for scale) then a bunch of various sizes.

I either bought bought them from a leathercraft shop or they are offcuts from Salvios from when they were still at the Spot.

The bag is a bit over 1.6kg in total. I also have a full natural tanned kangaroo skin (not included in the bag).

Leather offcuts in red, gold, blue, brown, black and grey
Three large pieces of leather in silver grey, grey and brown

Heyyyy mastodon!

It’s time for a snapshot #introduction of me, and how I'm hoping to contribute to this platform

My name is Cassie and I run a Philadelphia based community craft and art group. The group started 9 years ago on another well known platform and over the years it stopped serving our purposes. My hope is that this space can help connect our local community and inspire others to follow suit.

I prefer she/her and they/them pronouns and I default to using they/them pronouns with new people that don’t specify a preference.

I'm an #artist, #crafter, #organizer, and #designer. In order of most experienced to least, I utilize and teach the following skills: #leatherwork #accessorydesign #handembroidery #chainstitchembroidery #basketweaving #handbuildingclay #bookmaking #printing #surfacedesign #naturaldyeing #felting #spinningyarn #painting #drawing

I like to create, I have a love of aquatic fish, mushrooms, bugs, bones, prismatic colors, texture, line work, anything tufted, and gin is the way to my heart.

I look forward to sharing my creations and offering support with questions about any skillsets that I am able!
