Artificer's General "Catalog" thread

**artificer** · 3rd February 11, 03:19 PM

Hi all,
I find myself in the position of making things I've already done before, so, while they don't warrant their own DIY thread, I really want to show what else is coming out of the newly re-tooled shop.

Without further ado, #15 a Canadian Beaver and Hammered Leather bag, the little brother of #11 and #13

Front

Rear

Quarter

Open

The pelt was supplied by the commissioner. This particular leather was a tough shade to dye, it took three cycles of dyeing and burnishing to get the right shade. The lacing is custom dyed and burnished to match.
The dimensions are 9"h X 8"w X 6.5" across the cantle opening.

As always, constructive commentary and critique are very welcome.

Stay tuned for further developments.

Beautiful!!!
Scott, your talents never cease to amaze me!

Whooooo...

That is a fine bag, Scott! I love the round braid and how carefully you've matched the colors of leather. Also, as always, I think that red interior is a wonderful touch.

Really awesome work.

Great looking sporran Artificer, that beaten leather cantle is a unique style.
I also find the red interior that little extra touch that makes it special. Well done again.

Wow! Another beauty by Artificer... I really like the hammered cantle in brown. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

As always, beautiful work Scott. The matching of the dye to the colour of the pelt is excellent. Did you have to make up a tool to get the hammered effect, or is there something commercially available?
