Hi everyone,  here are the pics of the armor I wore at DragonCon this year.  It is a composite armor, made of  thick cuirbouille hardened leather overlayed with brass sheet, and then overlayed again in hand-cut embossed leather so the brass shows through.  The maille shirt I posted before DCon is under it and  a set of composite vambraces are

The work you do is simply amazing. I'm so sorry I had to miss seeing you at D*C this year, I was really looking forward to it, but my daughter got violently ill and had to be hospitalized Wednesday right before D*C weekend.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she's ok now. :)

She's fine, she's back to her usual obnoxious self. I guess we'll just go next year :)

I will say it again that is the most intricate well made armor ever! I was so glad to get to drool over it in person.

See ya at Alep!!

DUDE you freakin' rock.

Even though I saw it in person and said it then, I will say it again now.

You're amazing.

I came in to tell you again how much I love this!! I see I am not the only one who thought it needed to be repeated! LOL

Your eye for detail is impressive. If I find anyone who wants leather stuff done, I will tell them to try you first! I've never seen any work in this nice, thick leather that I've been more impressed with. I am very sorry I didn't get to see it in person! (I am also sorry I am not rich--or you'd already be making me SOMETHING! (I am already in love with the corset I saw on your etsy page.)

*sigh*

keep up the fab work!

Greetings! Very awesome armor and even neater to see it up close. Of course, the man in the armor is just as awesome as what he wears and you were certainly one of the people that made ALEP such a joy for me and Witchcat :) Hope to keep in touch, but for now... bed :P
