Heres A Big Batch Of Leather Fortune Cookies I Made A Couple Months Ago. These Were Destined For Party

Here’s a big batch of leather fortune cookies I made a couple months ago. These were destined for party favors for a kid’s birthday party, so they had some custom fortunes in them that were much less sarcastic than my regular fortunes.

The order coincided with when I got a couple bottles of a new brand of dye to try out (namely blue and purple). So this was a good chance to get some good comparisons between the options.

These are available on my etsy either singly or by the dozen!

Someone ordered a custom version of my "Fallen Leaves" mask, modified to be a blindfold. Also a color palette with a lot of purple in it. It was fun to put this together!

Here’s the original design on my Etsy store.

Tired, but easing back.

I’ve been off the map for a couple months while working on a big non-crafting project (wrote and ran a 20 person LARP on my own), and am finally starting to recover from that. In February I’ll be vending at Anthro New England, so right now I’ve got a little bit of time to try to figure out which projects or requests I can pick up again, before I find myself in convention prep mode.

I’ve got a bunch of ideas for big masks to work on, and I’d like to get at least 2 done in time for ANE. Other than that it’ll be a matter of figuring out what balance to strike between big costume items, smaller masks, and chainmail jewelry.

Not the best photos, but I wanted to show what my table at Anthro New England looked like!

The convention went extremely well. Selling by myself the whole weekend was very tiring, but I was so excited to show all the new things I’d made in the last 2 years.

Closeup photo is of my shitpost corner. The pet rocks are classics that I always like to make. The slap bracelets I worked out specifically for this convention, because the theme was The 90s.

A pair of heat-colored titanium dragon scale bracelets that I finished up last night. Doing the colors on these is always a joy--you heat them up over a flame until they glow orange, and the oxidation makes a beautiful spectrum of blues and purples.

Also, it turned out I hadn't made one of these in the wide style for a long time, so I updated the Etsy listing to include that option.

Owl mask - one in tropical colors, one with peacock iridescence. 

I don’t consider myself particularly practiced with painting textures, but I was pretty happy with how the sparkling blues and greens came out on this one. This copy sold at Anthro New England before I was able to get photos of it being worn.
