I worked on the gold bits tonight. I used a cream thread to make this easier and prayed for my beloved basting spray to carry me through. It came in clutch once more

The sleebies are done. They’re far from perfect since I hand-cut everything but they look so good irl. It’s a silly amount of detail that makes me very happy

Extreme lining details are underway

One guantlet is tooled and hole-punched for stitching. Still need to add holes for the grommets

While I’m waiting on my leather to dry so that I can dye it, I’m practicing my stitches. I’m doing a variant of a saddle stitch called a leapfrog stitch which lets me work without a stitching pony (yay for not having to buy yet another tool!)

Leather progress:
First two pics are before and after burnishing the edges (such a difference)
Third pic is with and without polish
Fourth is the finished gauntlet pieces
