Leatherwork Part III

I completed the first set of designs yesterday. The top piece of the Prince Caspian's Spaulders and the lower portion both. I still have the top portion and then of course the vambraces and the other side... Again I am doing one side at a time to make sure the final product turns out the way I want it to.



So far I would guess I have somewhere between 10-20 hours invested so far into these pieces not counting research time. It would probably be faster, but I have a three year old who needs attention often. :-) I also have to work on my other project, http://www.tampahomeguides.com a real estate website for the greater Tampa Bay Area.


I hope today I can complete the final designs on the top piece of the shoulder and at least one vambrace so I can go ahead and do the first set of dying tomorrow. I bought a dark brown dye and am most anxious to get this stuff dyed and then waxed so I can piece it together... but at the moment that is looking to be about three days away at the soonest.
