White might take a week or so (I don't have any white leather) but is definately do-able.

Thorgrimr

I can EASILY either make this one red or (better) make a red one for you. I have another buckle and strap end on the way (not these particular ones, though), so turnaround wouldn't be an issue.

Thorgrimr

It's a light brown color.

OK then, let's make this an auction. My usual terms- I'll let the auction run until Saturday at 7:00 pm EST, or until I get a bid I like: whichever comes first. So don't be afraid to bid what you're actually willing to pay, because someone just might come along and make a bid that's above my "t...

Here's a girdle purse from Purses in Pieces. The compartments measure 8" by 5" and the pouchlets will hold a smallish cell phone. It is hand sewn with linen thread and the buckle and strap end are bronze from Raymond's quiet press. http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leatherwork...

I'd giver serious thought to it if we didn't live two hours apart. I can't justify the expense in return for the small amount of time I'd end up actually using the place. It's an idea I've thought about, though- except that I've thought about it in terms of either opening a "rent-a-shop" o...

Deflagratio, it's yours then. Lady Ilsebet, I'd be happy to make one for you in black. I'm not planning on going to many events in the near future, but I'd be willing to make it then send you detailed pics (now that I'm almost able to replace my camera ). Then you can decide if you want to buy or no...

The leather is VERY soft and supple.

Thorgrimr

The color is best described as "rose". It's kind of a dark pink. It measures 11 1/2' wide by 8" tall. Unfortunately I can't get better pics- my daughter trashed my camera so I have to use a cell phone . This is part of my efforts to get a new camera! I'll see if I can borrow one somew...

I had a couple ladies I know suggest that I make a purse. I thought about it, and decided that (me being me) I wanted to do something different. It occurred to me that the design elements of a medieval purse might translate well to a modern handbag, so I thought I'd give it a shot- here's the result...

Thorgrimr

Yeah, it's down right now.

I'm looking for another service provider to set up with (as soon as I get a couple things ironed out). I probably ought to get a temp site. Hmmmm...

Thorgrimr

Thanks, guys. I am FAR from being perfect, but I do aim to please.

Michael, you need to stop terminating you auctions after only 22 hours 30 minutes, especially if you start on a Sunday.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Sometimes I get the urge to let someone have a deal, though.

Usually I'd agree, Chef, but in previous auctions I have stated that people should go ahead and bid what they are willing to pay so I don't arbitrarily end the auction at the minimum bid I can live with (which I certainly don't reveal ). I think he's just trying to make sure he gets it, or at least ...

Here's another pouch based off of designs in Purses in Pieces. It's a dual-drawstring money pouch with a pouchlet and an attached hanging strap. It is made from deerskin and hand sewn with linen thread. The cords are satin and the beads are bone. Here are a couple pics: http://home.armourarchive.org...

That's OK- my next piece will be a great gift for the Lady in your life- a mundane purse with a medieval flair, influenced by the kidney-shaped girdle purses in PiP. It's going to be pretty damn sweet if everything turns out the way I think it will.

Thorgrimr

Oh, and.....

...$50 going once...

Thorgrimr

It measures about 9 1/2 inches diameter when fully opened, and it's 9 inches deep.

Here's a (crappy

14th and 15th century, I think.

C'mon, folks- get someone an early Christmas gift!

for auction.

This pouch is based on various examples in paintings, and on some of the finds in Purses in Pieces. It is hand sewn with linen thread from sheepskin, and will easily hold your wallet, smokes, keys, money, etc. The cords are satin and the beads are made from bone. http://home.armourarchive.org/member...

Like the title says, one SCA-legal warhammer head is up for grabs. Made from glued and sewn leather, with foam-padded striking surfaces. Just like this one: http://home.armourarchive.org/members/thorgrim/leatherwork%20pics/shorter%20hammer.jpg Since no one liked it at $45, I took the hint ( ) and am...
