This all started when I decided I needed to upgrade some of my own gear. I'm obsessed with all things Pictish, and want to bring Pictish art back to life. so I have been recreating as many Pictish carvings as possible as a way to do this, and to connect in some basic way to Pictish craftsmen by carving specifically 'type 2' stones which have depth to them which are the best for leatherwork, as they are suited to leather tooling methods as well as stone work, wheras 'type 1' pictish carvings do not connect so well as they are more basic lines without any depth.
Some of these design I have copied and drawn directly from the stones themselves, and others I have used drawings by Craig Low that he has done from the stones, simply because his are so well done and there would be little point spending the time doing it again.
Most of these will be put up for sale later today on BCUK and my own website, once I've sorted out all the measurements etc
