Lara's Classic BackPack

Hey guys,

Back again :) And this time with a completed project to show you.
Lara's Backpack from the Classic Tomb Raider games. One of my Favorite scenes from the Classic games is in Revelations when Lara finds her boxy backpack that we all know and love


 
 
 
And here is my version:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It is made from 3-4 oz veg-tanned leather. All hand sewn, edged tooling on the top flap and all straps, with four aged gold buckles. I will be offering these for sale after Christmas for $50 plus shipping.  If you are interested please feel free to contact me :)
 
And here is a sneaky peek at my next project
 
 
 
As always, Thanks for reading!

Long Time No Type

Hey guys

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened.

First off...... I found out that someone has been using my templates to make and SELL Tomb Raider props and costume bits >:( So from now on I will no longer "release" templates to the public. If you are interested in any of my work, I will be open for commissions after Christmas. I promise to try and keep this blog more "up to date" and include all items I am offering for sale.

Secondly... I have a new rescue baby that I'm taking care of. Most everyone knows of my boy Merle the Squirrel




   Well now say hello to Meeko ^.^





Thirdly.....On Thanksgiving Day, while slicing sweet potatoes I sliced the end of my finger completely off :(  I cut it at an angle and the thickest part was thru the nail so it could not be reattached :'( On top of that I now have nerve damage. I can still move it but it does the complete opposite of what I want. Sticking up when I try to make a fist and curling under when I try to straighten it. Not sure what will be the out-come when it's fully healed....

And Fourth.... All projects have been put on hold (esply leather work) until my finger has healed. However I do have a few new projects in the planning stages. One includes Kat from Halo

 
Should be a fun project build. I plan on using EVA foam to make it.
 
And here's a sample pic of a few projects I have on the burner for after Christmas...these will be available for purchase once they are finished....yes I know the top pic is jumbled, but I'm taking no chances with thieves anymore.
 



 
 
Thanks for taking the time to read :) Will post more very soon
