Incredible Handmade Leather Quiver

Description

A video of appreciation to an amazing artisan. I was so impressed by this handmade leather quiver that I had to make a video showcasing and promoting it. Just me playing in the woods doing target practice. Iliana of MadeOfLeather on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/shop/MadeOfLeather?ref=search_shop_redirect/) is the craftswoman. I love the idea of purchasing gear from real artisans instead of big corporations, so I was delighted to find Iliana. This will belong to one of my daughters someday, if they take up archery. It's well-made enough to be passed to your children. I also love that she will craft her own tooled designs on it, or faithfully replicate your own designs. To me, "dressing the part" is a way to shift our conscious, and this quiver automatically gets me walking more quietly and opening my awareness. I'll be using it for deer hunting this autumn, for horseback archery practice, and probably wear it at the Renaissance Festival that we're involved with.

For horse people, that's a Shire/Percheron cross named Rajah. I've been training him to respond to seat-only cues and sometimes ride him saddle-less and bridle-less.
