Custom work Showcase - Coyote leather armor with Fire and Gold Swirls


Here's a few pictures of a custom order that was recently completed! 

The set includes mask, collar, arm bands, bracers, pants, ankle cuffs, and a chest piece. It took a lot of work and leather to do this project. I wanted each piece to look distinct and have it's own design, but have the full set share a theme. I think I accomplished this pretty well! I learned a lot working on this set. That's the beauty of custom orders; they expand my horizons!

Each piece is made from 8 oz veg tanned leather (about 1/8 inch or 3.15 mm thick). I like how well it takes carving, yet is still light and flexible enough to be comfortable. Dyed, painted, buffed, and sealed.

 Back of Collar, straps are done by hand! I set the rivets with a mallet.


Bracers

Front of Chest Piece - Side straps aren't shown, but are similar to the buckle and straps on the collar. Each side has a strap and buckle to adjust.

Ankle Cuffs with Bells
And flames that stick out!




All the leather pieces. Pants not shown. It was hard to get a good picture of them.

  1. Wow.They are marvelous! You know, they remind me somehow of Xena:) Though nothing similar with her armor. If I found them at essaykings.me, I would definitely write about the similarity with Xena:)) lol
