I have decided to change my blog.
 I will be posting at www.haandkraft.blogspot.com in the future.

I hope all my readers will welcome the change and keep reading about my projects.
 The new blog will feature more authors, than just me... the benefit of this will of course be more frequent updates.

As at teaser i offer you this picture of my latest ( Read more... )

This is the best needlecase I ever made!
 I made it for my very good friend Ildsmeden... I believe it was a present for his wife.

Here it is:

 This weekend I attended an event at Esrum kloster. While I was there i made the needlecase shown in the pictures of this post.

The only thing I would like to comment on is the decorations. This time i didn't just press the patterns onto the leather, I cut small grooves in the leather with a knife. It makes the pattern look a lot more clean and ( Read more... )

 It's been a while since my last update. So i thought it would be apropriate to give you all a little something to look at.
 I can't say that i have been making anything big and fancy. Just a bit more of the things i usually make. Purses, pouches, needlecases and the like.
 These are all things i have written about in the past, so i will make this ( Read more... )

I also made this purse for a good friend of mine.

It is made from leather that is a bit thicker than I am used to working with. This time it is cow-hide, not goat.
 The purse is more firm than it would have been, had I used the usual goats skin.

 En lille bonus-opdatering!
 Jeg har lavet denne lille pung, og tænkte at jeg nok også hellere lige måtte vise den til verden.
 Det er endnu en pung fra "Purses in pieces" og da jeg ikke tidligere har set folk med punge af denne type, tænkte jeg at jeg hellere måtte skynde mig at lave en.

A small bonus-update!
 I made this small pouch and thought ( Read more... )

So I finally got a hold of "Purses in Pieces"!
It's a fantastic book!

It contains a multitude og great pictures and descriptions og medieval pouches, bags, purses and other skuff.
So I decided to start making some of the items described in the book. I also thought that it would be a good idea to start with something small.

So i made this small 15th ( Read more... )

 Så har jeg endelig fået taget mig sammen til at sy et par ordentlige sko!
  Hvilket også er på tide, da jeg i alt for lang tid har gået rundt i nogle trælse gamle udslidte sko, som hverken passede mig særligt godt eller var vendt syede.
 ... og det går jo ikke an! :-)

Jeg har tidligere været lidt forbeholden overfor at sy sko da jeg tidligere har ( Read more... )

 Så er det blevet tid til at opdatere bloggen igen... og det er da også ved at være længe siden at jeg sidst har skrevet noget.
 I denne omgang vil jeg vise jer to ting som jeg har lavet!

Den første er en skede jeg lavede til et vikingesværd. Sværdet er smedet af Ildsmeden og det er ham der har bestilt skeden.

Der er ikke nogen dekorationer på ( Read more... )
