entry one/steampunk gauntlet

So, this is my first entry, and though I feel I should I guess I don't have much to say at the moment. I created this blog at the suggestion of a friend, to keep track of my adventures in crafting and to see what other people are creating out there.

I suppose this would be a good time for some photos:


this was my second leather project. I made it to go with my steampunk costume.

I got the vials at the Container Store. Since these photos were taken, i filled them with a mixture of sugar, potassium nitrate {which, when melted together, make smoke bombs} and copper carbonate {which lends a nice teal color and burns green}. The proportions arn't perfect and it burns a little weird, but I haven't exactly needed to burn it.The vials on the inside are secured with little leather loopies like the ones on the outside.
