Masked Ball 2014 site tokens

So I was asked to build some site tokens for Masked Ball 2014 (SCA event). Going with the theme I decided to try my hand at making some small masks. Here is the start. They are wet molded leather and just over an inch wide.

Archery Arm Guard...prototype

Archery Arm Guard...prototype

To make up for being totally lazy today I decided to pound out the first prototype of a period archery guard. Based on an illumination from the 14th c. I make no claims to the depth of this research. I needed a starting point and I figured a period illumination was close enough to get running. Also pardon the sloppy tooling. I did it in like 20 minutes just so the guard would not end up simple leather. Really rough but just enough to give it a dry run so I can make tweaks

Rhydderich Hael Fencing Marshal Badge

I was asked to make a fencing Marshal badge for the Hael. It took me a while to get to the project but I finally finished it off this week. Tooled and painted leather. The little dragon is a charm that was provided by the requestor. It is a double layer of leather so I could create the frame the dragon charm sits in. 



Champs tokens....the final chapter

Champs tokens....the final chapter...

Forgot to put a shot of the final tokens. We didn't need 52 of them :). I plan to add some dragon charms to them and donate them to the Barony for general use. I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Looks like I will be doing the event tokens for Masked Ball 2014 as well.

Hael Baronial Champs Tokens...part 2

Baronial Champs tokens. Now in green and black dye and some additional tooling. Had an oops because of a change of plans, but its not huge. All edges have been slicked. The next step is to paint the R and H on the front in gold.

Hael Baronial Champs Tokens

Not done yet, but a sneak peek. These are the special champion tokens that we are going to hand out to people running for a spot to be a Rhydderich Hael Baronial Champion. They go to anyone who competes with the intention to become a champ and the populace is invited to look for them and thank them or even reward them with a small favor. All hand tooled leather. 52 of them...I hope I run out.

The Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer

Another project out of the way for War Practice. Order medal for The Order of Thorbjorn's Hammer (Ealdormere) made from tooled and painted leather. Made for Baron Richard of Rising Waters.
