Yet another possible pouch

[stuart f]

Hi all, i posted a photo of my knife set up last week and said that i would have to make a possibles pouch to go with the knife set,so this is my possibles pouch i've made.

Anyway i thought you might like a wee look.












Its turned out better than i thought it would.
Oh thanks for looking.

Stuart F. That is absolutely fantastic. Cracking job M8.

The artwork , how on earth did you do that?
I have just tried engraving (?) a pouch, using the Dremel with a mini diamond head. It was a great opportunity to make a lot of noise and mess.

Results, however, left a lot wanting and so,I scrapped the panel and started again on more modest lines.

But all your artwork looks like its been hand-pouted, must,ve taken forever.

Gratcongulations!

Hi Seagull, actually it was really quite simple and did'nt take that long. How i did it was to draw the design i wanted and then used heavyweight tracing(140gsm) paper to trace the design(you could just trace any design you want from a book ,magazine even), then i stuck the traced design with sticky tape onto the leather,next i stuck a leather sewing needle into a cork from a wine bottle then just engraved on top of the design, by using heavyweight tracing paper it wont rip when you use the needle on it. When you've finished going over the design with the needle,peel away the paper and the design will be embossed onto the leather,i then went over the picture a couple of times again with the needle.Job done!

I hope that this helps and is clearer than mud

That's really nice Stuart.
You make it sound so easy. It's something that never fails to surprise me the way folk with artistic tendancies can make things look a breeze.

Looks like a handy size.

Hi Wolf, sorry to have taken so long to reply but i have been away working, the carving on the front of the pouch is that of a foxes head, i wanted to go for a british forest scene hence the fox and the deer in the woods,the carved firesteel handle is supposed to be a wolfs head,there was no particular reason for the subjects i,m afraid, its just i like wildlife in general.

All there is for me to do now is to get out and use them,

very nice. love the design. An online tutorial would be lovely

I assume the carving was done before putting it together?

Hi JadaFecT, when you say a tutorial do you mean for the whole thing or just for the embossing of the picture?. The carving was the last bit i done on the pouch.
