Growing up I used to be big into RPGs (Role Playing Games) like Dungeons & Dragons and Rune Quest. I played them well into college. I don't play anymore, although I do miss it sometimes. I'm also a big reader of fantasy novels, David Edding's Belgariad are probably my favorites. It's no wonder that I have such a love for medieval armor or fantasy armor. I haven't made a lot of it to date, some other Celtic knot bracers and a Celtic Targe - shield. But I do have plans to add to the armory, as it were. I'm hoping to expand and eventually be able to do a entire suits of tooled leather armor. Can you imagine how awesome an entire suit of intricately tooled leather armor would look?I hadn't made any leather projects dyed black until these. To be honest, I've always been a brown leather bomber jacket kind of guy. The reason I made these in black was that I had been getting requests from people to do black tooled leather armor. Now that I've made them I can see why people want black armor. These look bad ass! :)
These kinds of bracers are great for SCA wear, reenactment armor, renaissance fairs and the like.
There are more pictures of the Black Dragon Bracers on my site. Take a look.
