I Should Try To Be Better About Showing The Small Things I Make. So Here's A Bracelet Someone Bought

I should try to be better about showing the small things I make. So here's a bracelet someone bought from my Etsy last week. Both scales and rings are stainless steel. I do a bunch of different colors with scale mail because people like them, but I gotta say, stainless steel is still probably my favorite material to work with. It's just straightforward and satisfying. And of course, here's the link to it up on my Etsy.

Oh god I still have more photos to go through from that photo shoot.

This is that superhero mask that works with glasses.

And here’s my finished holiday joke for the year! Kinky leather Christmas stocking! Fill it with your favorite stocking stuffers!

I used 2 types of thick garment leather for the stocking (because I was on the last scraps of 2 different hides), and a third, shinier type for the straps. I still need to make up a price for it and post it to Etsy, but I figure it’s probably done for this year.

According to the text of Tumblr’s guidelines, technically this doesn’t count as adult content. We’ll see if it still causes problems. (That wood is awfully flesh-colored, it’s triggered the content mommy a bunch of times.)

LOOK UPON MY LASERS, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR.

So last Thursday I got a call in the middle of the day from the vendor coordinator at Arisia. I’d been wait-listed back in the fall, I may have mentioned previously. They’d had someone cancel, though, and would I like to take the table on a week’s notice?

So that’s been my week basically. I used up the leather I’d had on hand very quickly, though I was able to squeeze way more masks than I’d expected out of my scrap pile. Today a fresh hide of leather finally arrived, and this pile is what I’ve cut out of it so far.

Half a day on the laser cutter. If I didn’t have this thing, there’s no way I would be able to get this sort of volume made in time. Sometimes that just hits me hard. Next is staining and forming them up, so we’ll see how quick I can get that done.

Why even have friends if they're not gonna photobomb your products.

Realized I still had more photos to go through from that shoot in the fall. Here's a fox mask with big huge ears.

Aaaaand I updated the listing on Etsy!

Someone asked for a version of my buckled hatchwork bracelet, but sized as a collar. So here it is!
