Heres A Batch Of Small Things That I Shipped Out This Week.

Here’s a batch of small things that I shipped out this week.

In order, we got: scale bracelets in stainless steel and bronze; a matched set of choker necklace and bracelet in the colors of the asexual pride flag; bronze scale earrings; a bunch of leather fortune cookies; and a leather barrette in the shape of a dragon wing.

My Etsy store is still open for Christmas orders! Anything ordered by December 15th will be shipped out by the 18th. After that, I will be out of town visiting family (as safely as I can without being disowned) until the new year.

A black version of my plague doctor hood. (Previously.)

I went for a lustrous finish coat on this, with silvered lenses that block off all view of the inside. I tend to prefer matte finishes on light colored pieces, but black does look really nice when it’s shiny.

This hood has ear-cups for comfort (with holes for good hearing), ventilation holes on the underside and side of the beak, and enough room inside to wear glasses underneath!

Designed by myself, laser-cut out of 4 oz vegetable-tanned leather, then formed, dyed, finished, riveted and sewn together by hand. It’s available here.

Made another collar to continue testing out the process. An issue I had on the previous one was that my laser cutter is not large enough to cut the whole strap at once. But if I broke the top strap into multiple smaller pieces, I could get the necessary full length. So I tested out the idea by making a rainbow! Each color gets its own separate fragment of strap, and they all get attached down onto a sturdy base layer. I'm still working out the sizing though. The previous collar was smaller than I wanted, so I lengthened the straps a bit for this one. But without the extra layer of lining sewn in, this one ended up being rather longer than I'd wanted. So I guess I'll just have to make another one, oh woe is me. 2 layers of 8 oz vegetable-tanned leather, cut with the help of a laser, then dyed, finished and assembled by hand. Strap is 1.5" wide. This collar is available on my Etsy shop here. Also, everything on my Etsy shop is on sale for 20% off through 11/30!

I’m doing a giveaway for these “I Vored” wooden pins!

To get one: - Vote. - Reblog this post. - Look at my profile and reblog at least 1 other thing you think is neat. - Fill out this form with your address so I can mail it to you: https://forms.gle/t4yyZ9u21HC9y1438

US only of course. Free while my mailer envelope supplies last. I’ll also make regular “I Voted” pins for people who aren’t hungry, just weren’t able to get a sticker this year. 

In case it wasn’t clear, I highly encourage you to vote blue up and down the ticket. It’d be great if we could’ve gotten Sanders or Warren instead of Joe, but it’s way better to be fighting to push a moderate to the left than to be fighting an outright fascist. And the down-ballot local races are the ones where you’ve got the best shot at impacting your immediate community.

A couple new photos of my panther mask.

It’s up for sale on my Etsy shop!
