I used a lucet today to make three cords for these three Viking bags — appropriate for dice or for runes, or small stones. Lined but unpadded inside. One of the bags is spoken for, but the other two are up for grabs.
The Viking Bag is not a komebukuro. This is a piece of fabric — the row of marching vikings, with the wave-band and the red and white stripes — sewn in a round around a base fabric, and then given a lining of brown cloth stitched with a drawstring tube. The new cord, in a persimmon-dyed merino wool is pulled through the tube and finished with a wooden bead (or unfinished, in the other one).
One will go up for sale on my Etsy site next week. Probably the other one as well. Do I hear any bids?

Very neat. I would love one of those. How much are you thinking?
I don’t know. Similar bags on Etsy are usually $30 or less. The fabric here is irreplaceable, as it’s discontinued, though. So I bet I could get $35 for it to the right buyer, maybe $40. Make me an offer.
