After working on this thing for almost a year, Brigid's project is done and delivered.
The first part of a project like this is tailoring the design to the client's personality and preferences.
The rest took a while because I inadvertantly found a sunlight-curing method which looked great on one of the panels which took about four months. The rest was just a lot of detail work: carving, dyeing, painting and blind-stitching.
Anyway, the client's happy, I'm happy, and now I'm going to take break for a little bit on leather-smithing, or whatever you're supposed to call it.

stunning. I love this.
