Some news.
I have finsished all ivory parts except for the two pendants which will be finished next monday or tuesday:
I organized myself a skin of vegetable tanned sheep blank leather ( only the rest on the picture ) :
I cut out two identical straps of leather in the desired from for the belt itself, and two more for the elongated strap end.
I dyed the leather red, and brought it to a car-saddler to make the skiving. Car-saddlers usually have a rarely used skiving machine around, which helps you to get quick, cheap and professional skiving for your leather works
Next step was to fold the leather edges over and to glue them into place. Then I cut out a piece of linen to go between the two leather strips. I glued everything together. This is the result:
The next step will be to make the edge-stitching with blue linen-thread.
