More arm guards

#1 Post by dhaverstick »

Last night I finished these two arm guards for a feller and his wife. He said he wanted a bear paw print incorporated into the design and I had to think about that one a bit before I came up with an idea that I liked. I think they turned out pretty nice. The right one has an elephant ear hide facing with a veg-tanned cowhide backing. The black leather around the paw print is carp hide and the gold leather is deer hide. The left one has an ostrich hide facing with a veg-tanned cowhide backing. The beige leather around the paw print is ostrich leg skin and the black leather is deer hide. The beige trim is elk hide. I carved the lace hooks from deer antler and sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew.
