4of4 - LTLG Jan2010 Meeting - Leather Armor Presentation

[Plenipotentiarious]

I'd wear that black one everyday. Outside. In front of people.

[Domo230]

How do people learn to do this? I would love to get started making some simple items for LARPing.

[MrVictorPhoenix]

@Domo230 Buy some leather and start playing with it. Its what I did.

Excellent work here. Hardened leather is a very tough medium to work. Your colors are smooth the body lines are perfect. So perfect a few of your ideas go into my new armor design for SCA... Huzzah

[Ozjourneyman]

Great stuff. I see hand finished stitching and decoration. I see many hours of effort gone into not only the finish but the sculpting and shaping, not to mention the application of dyes. Unlike a couple of the viewers before me, however, I see no pop rivets or scuply. I see the artistry and creativity as well as the functionality. Bravo.

[animoshho]

The accents look like sculpy clay, rivets are pop rivets and not hand hammered

[Craz3dApprentice]

What do you use to connect the leather together?

[ethannintendonerd]

@Craz3dApprentice probably leather rivets. you can get them at craft stores or a fabric store. i used a similar concept to make a leather breast plate a couple years ago

[MaxC17]

omg they're amazing! the white one is my fav.! What are the lion heads made of? and do you use glue to stick them on or some other method?

[titusflaviuslongus]

How did you make the accents on the amor. and what are they made of.
