What a difference a little more than a decade can make. My mother recently asked me if I would make her a new sheath for a knife she often wears when she goes to Renaissance Faires. She wanted me to make one that matches a set of accessories she got from me, consisting of a belt, pouch, bracers, and a hair piece. The whole thing is all dragon themed in black and purple.
Well, the funny thing is, id already made a sheath for this knife. Was an early project, before I officially started making things for people. Im sitting here, looking at the new sheath, and I realized how far along in this whole journey I've gotten. I've tried new things, branched out into new types of projects, and improved my work a great deal. It's not often you get to see an old piece come back to you, but it did make me think.
Anyways, here is the old sheath and the new one next to each other. Funny enough, I used the same swivel knife and one of the same stamps on the new one. But, they could not be more different.
