Gnarled Walking stick

This time I needed a nice looking staff for an elderly looking character. So off to the woods and some minutes later a nice rod was found. I peeled off the bark with a knife and had a cool stick on the game.

Von RPGs

And since the character will be played again I decided to enhance the look of the staff. After peeling it fully I heated the wood with a torch burning only the topmost wood. This gave ma a nice dark look, a transparent paint came along with a brass protector for the bottom end.


And voila thats it, not realy hard to do but very fancy looking.



Brassbox for my Tarot Cards

Hi Everybody !

This time i made a box for the Labyrinth Tarot deck of Lois Ryo. The cards are just so well drawn that i thought i need some more neet than the small cardboard box in which they come.
It's made of Brass beechwood and leather.

So here you go =)

Cobra Brooch

Hi Everybody !

This time I made a Brooch with 2 Cobra snake heads for a friend of mine as a birthday present.
It turned out pretty well, perhaps I'll try a horse version in the future too ... well see ;)

Armguards

Hi Everybody !

Long time no see. Last weekend me and my girlfriend took a vacation at spa, 3 days of doing nothing but relaxing. Anyway after those 3 days I realy was eager to craft again and after 2 days working through I'm as tensed up as before my holiday but at least with a new pair of armguards.


The Scales are made of stainless stell and where all heat treated to achieve that nice orange to blue gradient.

Here you can see the gradient has been applied to all the small pieces at the top part too.


And finally this is the look when beeing worn ^^.

First thing in a long time that I'm really proud of again.

So long

Belt pouch


Our groups Gnome has got a lot of tools already, but what he really needs is a homeworkers belt pouch to store all the nails and screws to construct his weird machines ^^. The onlyproblem with leather pouches is that small items tend to fall out, so I tried one with a solid wooden side and it worked. Even after heavy shaking no nail fell out.

Quiver


Since a working colleague of mine wanted to play an archer, I realized that we only got one quiver but 3 archers in our group. So I looked up some quivers in the web and found some realy beautiful works at http://www.langbogen.net/. Having seen thus pretty things I made one of my own and I'm also quiet pleased.

The Chest


After searching for 2 hours in the hardware store to gather all the parts for the chest, I payed surprisingly much for this thing... 65 Euros after thinking about it i guess i could have bought 3 of them with an online order. But at least I made it ^^. You can also see on eof the many shields i did in last few days for our larp group.
