Miscellaneous
“A creative mess is better than tidy idleness.”
All the stuff that didn’t fit in another category. Mainly sewing related crafts; embroidery, leather and rope-work. But there are a couple other one-offs.
My longest running unfinished object. An embroidered medieval cloak.
close-up of embroidery from the cloak
leather and brass measuring band with spring return
Polished steel "fid" and sheathe for rope-work.
Viking beads carved from amber for my wife
A "sailors bottle" covered in rope-work. The rope acted as cushioning so sailors of old didn't smash so many bottles.
A viking hat. Hand woven liner, rabbit trim, tablet woven decor and silver passementerie as the cherry on top.
A dice cup of leather and dice of bone.
I tried my hand at making a leather tankard. It was very interesting trying to figure out how to do the stitching. Boiled in beeswax.
First shoes I made. Replica of a medieval Visby find.
Frank from Donnie Darko. Made it for Halloween many years ago.
His name is Jürgen. I made him from an apple and gave him to a friend
One of those annoying projects that I made too well. It's so crisp people don't believe I made it.
I got to try my hand at pottery in a friends shop.
A bag of abstract games
A vikingified game of hive and my favorite abstract game "nine mens morris"
