Over the past few days, I've been working on making progress on Thora's rapier sheath that she's asked me for. I had run the design idea by her a few weeks ago but hadn't really had time to get started on crafting it.
She's looking for a rapier sheath that will have either an Ealdormere or Skrael symbol on it for when she moves out west in the fall.Given my previous work on the Ealdormere populace badge, I suggested that would make a good rapier sheath.
So over the past few days I cut out the leather piece, marked out the divisions for the design and carved the badge. I then started the process of colouring it. Now that it's all dyed, it will just be a matter of assembly, which shouldn't take too long.
Here's the process so far:
 |
| Swivel knife work cutting out the pattern |
 |
| Backgrounding filled in around the pattern |
 |
| Pattern bevelled and stamped |
 |
| Dyeing of the pattern done |
 |
| Dyeing and carving complete. Some assembly required. |
