Description
REVIVAL!!!Yes I am returning with this, a Leather greave I did for Castlefest 2013 (did not manage to get a second one in time, but that's okay)
The biggest piece of leatherwork I have done so far, experimenting with dyes and methods of applying. I am very pleased with the piece (though not with the pictures)
The design was first drafted in clay: unreal-hunter.deviantart.com/gβ¦
templates were made and cut individually. some from pre-blackened leather which is rubbish for tooling, the others were made from Veg-tanned leather.
Pieces were cut, tooled, dyed and stitched thogether by hand.
Tme taken: about a week of and on.
This one is the inside of the leg. Dne on veg-tanned leather. tooled and dyed, then sewn to the rest. This side has a tear-away look to it, exposing the surface underneath.
Awesomely inspired by: i-tavaron-i.deviantart.com/artβ¦
I know this means my design is based off anothers work, but I fell so in love with how that looked I wanted to give it my own spin. So tip of the hat to that original piece.

Very nicely done! I like the detail, and.. are those runes above the knee area? What to they say? >83

yes the inscription is in runes, I was gonna do more, but that would have taken too much time.
it reads:
"Seek not your Demise, but your salvation"
I found that to be very poetic over a skull.

That is indeed very poetic.. for your demise might as well be your salvation..

depends on who reads it after all

but that's okay, cause it's meant for me, not for them
and anyone who want's to know asks, as it's too small to read it on the fly anyway, reading runes or not
