Actually Two Separate Codpieces That Got Ordered In Quick Succession. This Is My More Straightforward

Actually two separate codpieces that got ordered in quick succession. This is my more straightforward and simple design, and it’s made with a very nicely finished leather with a very consistent semi-gloss surface.

For the most recent one, I went and made some adjustments to the straps that probably nobody but me would ever notice. Fixed the spacing on some of the rivet holes, and tweaked the lengths of the straps with the buckle holes in them. And since the straps are modular and I use the same pattern on all my codpieces, it’s a fix that’ll carry through all of them.

Maybe you want one for yourself?

Leather fortune cookies! A full batch of a dozen, fresh out of the oven! Stuffed with mildly perplexing pieces of paper!

I cut these when I’ve got a scrap of leather left from another project that’s too small to fit anything else on, and I’ll tend to dye them when I’ve got extra dye that I got out but didn’t need all of.

I’ve had them up on my Etsy store as singles for a while, finally put up a listing for a dozen.

I made some stand-alone dragon horns in the style I used on my dragon head project. They're made of birch plywood, laser-cut and glued up solid. The challenge here was working out a clean attachment to the headband, and I think I did pretty well. The leather strap just threads directly through the wood about 1/4″ up from the bottom surface. Makes for a good solid joint.

The last photo shows the previous version, where the attachment to the headband was via some cord threaded around in the hollow base. The connection ended up kinda floppy and unsatisfying. Like, long ears are cool to wiggle/jiggle when you move your head, but horns are supposed to be firmly attached to your skull.

I’m happy with how these turned out, and I’d love to make more. These were on the small side, I’m thinking of trying something big like rams horns for the next iteration. If you’d like a specific sort of shape, let me know!

And if you’d like this set, you can get them here!

A pair of leather-wrapped bottles I made with a friend for a wizard costume she put together a little bit ago. These were definitely fun to do, and I've considered making more, though I'm not sure I'd want to deal with stocking bottles and stuff. But if you’d be interested, let me know!

Super-fast mask design! I had an idea this morning for a mask(-like item) for a character I was playing in a LARP today. The character was a librarian tree-person, in a magical library that was dying. So I made a forest of bare trees as a crown.

In 3 hours, from sketch through CAD-ing it up to lasering it out and dyeing it.

And I think the design was pretty good! I’ll clean it up a tiny bit and post it up for sale in a bit. Need to check if it’s feasible or worth it to try wet-forming the branches to give them some dimensionality.

I call this design a storm dragon, an angular contrast to the sea dragon mask that's been one of my most successful over the years. Not as many people seem to have been enamored of it, but I'm still fond of the geometric patterns in the fins. This one is dyed silver.
