15 April 2013: Finished sewing the apliques on the base suit! Up next is the hardware and some distressing.

Specs:
Belt is made from 5oz vegetable tanned leather. I cut, tooled, dyed, antiqued, sealed, burnished the edges, and riveted everything with gunmetal hardware. The hand on the back is a little creative liberty. When you look at the armor in the inventory it looks different than when you wear it, and that hand is on the belt and on the front panel; I thought it was a cool little detail to add on there ^^

The base suit is black stretch faux suede and red pig suede. The apliques are stitched on with off-white thread, though in the picture it doesn't really show up, so I may go over them again with some had stitching. There is an invisible zipper on the front, and the belt will cover the horizontal seam between the apliques.

Papers are made from regular white printer paper I dyed with tan RIT dye. The font is Viner Hand ITC and the hand print is my own, made with diluted acrylics. I might make more of these and hand them out to random people at conventions.
