Anyway, just a quick update on my Leliana cosplay; I finished the quiver and I'm so excited with how it turned out.
Like the rest of my armour, it's made from 5/6 oz vegitan leather. The front part is 3 layers: The first I painted silver, the next is antiqued and cut in a lattice pattern and the third is the vertical stripes that have been tooled, antiqued and riveted in place.
The sides are tooled to give some dimension between the red and the silver; I was going to add actual straps for the silver part, but I figured that would be a lot of extra leather and might not fit right.
The sides and the front layers are all stitched together, as well as glued, and the strips hide the lacing. The back panel is riveted in place.
Since video game characters are crazy and illogical, there are no straps or anything to actually attach the quiver. Instead I have 3 snaps on the back panel that snap directly to the back of my armour. I haven't tried it on with the quiver attached yet so I'm hoping the snaps hold, but so far they seem pretty stable.
The proportions seem a bit big in relation to the rest of my armour, but I think it still looks OK....probably just me being a perfectionist.
I also got my rivets in the mail today for the pauldron, so that should be done sometime next week. By the way if you're cool with paying $16 in shipping I definitely recommend standardrivet.com they have some epic stuff.
Now back to cosplay and other adventures!
