Tha Artisan's Forge

These buckles have been sitting in my portfolio for way too long - I designed them a while back and somehow never got around to sharing them properly. Better late than never, right?

The concept was simple: medieval-inspired buckles that actually look like they belong on a knight's armor or a sorcerer's satchel — not a cheap costume. Lots of Celtic knotwork, floral ornaments, beast motifs. Designed for 3D printing, cosplay, and metal casting.

And speaking of casting - we actually poured them in bronze and brass. Holding the physical piece after all that digital work? A completely different feeling.

Now they're slowly finding their way into the world. A friend of mine makes absolutely incredible leather goods, and he's been using my buckles in his work. Next photo is going to be a quiver he made - with one of my pieces on it - and honestly it looks better than anything I could've imagined when I was modeling these.

More designs coming. Slowly, but surely.
