Celtic Kilt Belt & Norse Dog Collar & Cuff

[Dreadhead]

Heres a couple of things i finished last week. thought i would upload before i head off for a wee holiday as work will be on hold for two weeks

First up a sporran belt. Customer wanted a thin 1" belt to hold her sporran. Instead of the standard sporran belt with a buckle and chains to attach the sporran she wanted it to be one piece, with leather cords either end to attach to the sporran so this is what i came up with

Guess who always forgets to wear gloves?!?!

Next up a dog collar for an overseas customer. He wanted it to be lined, with the name ODIN carved, a valknut, a mjolnir, and cry havoc in runes (for those into their runes he gave me his own runic translation to use which differs from the futhark alphabet i normally use). He also wanted a celtic buckle with a brass D ring. The buckle was forged by Everything Mac who has done me a batch of these i love them they add a great look to my rustic craftings

And last just a wee cuff for someone else. They wanted Fenrir in runes with a buckle and braided edges so i made this

Thanks for looking

Please refer to that PM I sent you recently about a herbivore's epidermis.

Those are really nice. Well done!

Did make me chuckle seeing the black hands, hope you didn't wipe your nose while you were working. (Hamish pauses reading while he goes and checks in the mirror)

Lovely work Hamish.

Very nice! Got me a new crazy pooch, so when her enormous neck has finished growing, if i send you the massive circumference would you mind making one for her? an indication of cost would be great, oh yeah and i would like it engraved with her name "Nutmeg"

Sorry she is only a jack russel.

....i'm loving that dog collar!

 

[Toadflax]

Good stuff yet again. I get lazy and don't put on the gloves at times...but have never had it as bad as those hands!

Did you make the round braid yourself for the cords? I keep meaning to do something similar for myself to hang my wedding ring round my neck (as it seems to have shrunk after 30 years!) If so, what width of thonging did you use?

Lovely work as always. All the best to the beautifull granite city.

 

[Dreadhead]

thanks again everyone. PM inbound Ivan

Thanks Geoff, i wish i had braided it myself but i don't have that sort of patience so i bought it already braided. I usually use it for neck sheaths and the like but it worked well for the belt project

'Rustic craftings' - my bottom

Really liking the leatherwork as always, but those celtic buckles by Everything Mac have really caught my eye. Looks very similar to a cloak pin in design.
