Description
Alright!After not doing anything for ages due to a lack of heating in my workshop, these came out as the first project of the season.
They are based off of a design featured in the Girl Genius comics, and are made out of multiple layers of leather, some brass plating, and a looooot of rivets. Allof which were hammered together by hand (and at the cost of a couple of fingertips). All 120-ish of them
The shoes underneath them are old viking-style shoes... need to find a replacement somewhere for those. Oh, and i made actual sheaths for my bootdaggers, one on either side... just because i had some leftover rivets
Anyway, i hope you like them! ^^
P.S.: Yes, i know the pic is bad... photographing via a mirror isn't something i do often xD
