So, the red dye finally came in the mail today. Which is what I’ve been waiting for to progress on the dice cup and leather bracers. With the leather bracers I needed the red dye to paint the strips as you can see below. After that I added rivets. The bracers are nearly done now, all they need is to punch holes on the sides and add eyelets. The only reason it isn’t done right now is I need a bigger eyelet setter. Once I buy a 1/4 inch eyelet setter this weekend, it will be finished with paracord rope.
The dice up is nearly finished now that I have my red dye. All that is required is to stitch it all together, which will take time as it is now my most ambitious project that requires a lot of stitching. I know that isn’t saying a lot. But stitching is one of the least things I’ve worked on during my short period of leather crafting so far.
Oh, and I’ve started my work on my next project, which will take a long time to finish I think. It’s a helmet! A generic super villain helmet, but I will add my own designs/stamping to it. I got the design online, and have cut out and taped it together and the paper model fits me, so I am hoping the finished leather one will fit me too.
