Hip leather quiver with horn and carvings

07/09/2009 by Paul Carpenter.

I guess it must seem as if I’m having a quiver bing at the moment, but it’s probably just a spert of energy - or some may hope going by some of the idea’s I’ve had thus far. Unfortunatly the wierd and wonderful idea’s just keep coming, this new quiver being the lastest.

I have decided in my wisdom to call it the ‘Fanorientern’ mainly because their are eastern, western and fantasy elements or influences within it. In regard to the materials and design, the horn is from India, the leather from Italy and the design just poped out of some where! As for the carvings, well they are obvious, a chinese archer on pegasus figthing a dragon! could’nt be more unlikely a situation.

Also managed to finish the boots for the black armour, which prtetty well means that project is finally over and done with - After this mini monsoon we seem to be getting is over I might have a chance to get a photo with my son wearing it all - but for now here are the boots - Not totally perfect but they fit and did’nt work out to bad for my first attempt at boot making.
