Title: Wifeys Bday present
Post by: YosemiteBen on September 14, 2014, 03:26:33 pm

This took me longer than I thought.... usually I do tooled leather stuff - this time I wanted something differnet. I cut out the leather in a basic oval. I traced another oval inside and then cut slits in the leather. I then wrapped the strips of leather with artificial sinew. I wanted the end product to look like a basket. What y'all think. She will get it later tonight.

Looks great.  I would have gone cross eyed doing that.  At first I thought it was quillwork.

I did pick up a porky pile this summer MadCrow. In a very unusal location. By the time I got him off the side of the road weren't much left of the guy. All of the hair and quills - bugs ate most of the skin and ravens got most of the inside. Just gonna let the bugs finish up and then sort and clean ....
