Leather work - ongoing

Finding patterns is easy for bags, gloves and belts, and what started off was when Meredith the haln asked about a Norse belt back in Feb 2010. With the aspect of finding someone that was close by to make the belt, and the cost: this was the kick start into a new craft. Although Christiana had a little experience in tooling leather she never thought of making projects with leather. Here is shown is Christiana's bag that she, cut, dyed, laced and stamped the leather. The belt is also made M'Lady Christiana. Her next project in leather work after completing the research will be a set of either Elizabethan shoes or clogs. This will depend on the equipment she has on hand to do this kind of work. If successful she  will post this project. For those interested, searching the web and also speaking to a couple of leather worker the cost is around 400.00 dollars for a pair of shoes. 400.00 buys a lot of leather.
