Leatherworking (IRL!)
My SO has been into leatherworking for years, and I asked him to teach me a few things. After doing the obligatory keychains and such, I decided to create a case for a machete I purchased recently (the original case is flimsy, cheap vinyl).
I was racking my brain, trying to figure out what to tool into it, and I thought, 'why not do a Horde symbol!?' I also put some Celtic knotwork underneath.
I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It's my very first attempt to make anything like this, I think I did pretty well.
The rough version of the case (stamped, no dye):
The finished case:
I told my SO that this had better raise my RL skill to about 225 or so. :)
