Description Probably my favourite pair of bracers I've come up with so far, the colouring on these was one happy accident! Started with a light wash of brown while dyeing, but certain pieces of the bracer are made from a thinner leather and the original color was different, making the brown take on completely different hues. They looked bad together, so I decided to throw some green on there, see what happened. This happened! And I'm lovin' it!

For all you elven warriors out there!

Leather LARP Bracers: designed, tooled, shaped, dyed by me.

The coloring beautiful and truly forest blending, I especially like the coverage and flexibility of the wrist and hand area.

I like the detail. How does it feel when you're wearing it?

They turned out to be some of the most comfy bracers I've made! Which is pretty exciting having been made from almost scraps of leftover leather! haha

That actually makes sense. The more leather is worked and used, the softer it becomes. Since the leather you used wasn't new, but had been worked before, it makes sense they'd be more comfortable.

Well, it was new leather, but the cuttings from around bigger pieces.
