This Carousel Horse Has A Bit Of An Attitude.

This carousel horse has a bit of an attitude.

This was a commission for a friend. The base pattern for the mask is from Dieselpunk.Ro. I made some small tweaks on the mask itself, but the big change was designing the big floppy mane. I love how it hangs over the face like some sort of pastel pink scene kid. The sawtooth part of the mane is a reference to the haircuts that Norwegian Fjord Horses often get. The construction of the mane was a riff on how @ramshacklegear did the mane on his chess piece pony hood, so check that out here and here.

This pony also has a spicy side, second post incoming.

Shipped this fire tiger out last week! This design has been a long-term favorite. There's some tweaks to it I may want to make in the coming months, but it's got so many curves that it's kind of a nightmare to edit.

Not too late to get something for Halloween! Etsy link!

Decided to subtly improve this codpiece design. I decided it was a bit too flat, and needed to curve to hug the hips better, and it needed a bit bigger of a bulge for obvious reasons. Updated version first, previous iteration second.

I’d originally designed this one physically, though. I’d traced the pattern geometry into CAD to laser cut, but it turns out that (as best I can tell) reconstructing a 3D form from its flattened geometry is an unsolved problem. So what I thought would be a quick edit turned into rebuilding it from the ground up.

I’m pretty happy with the update, but I think I got only about halfway to where I wanted it. Gotta pump the curvature up a bit more again still. Should be faster to make the tweaks next time though.

4 oz vegetable-tanned leather, designed by me, cut with a laser, then dyed gold and assembled by hand.

Just finished up this big matching set of a scale necklace, 2 pairs of earrings, and 2 bracelets.

All made with anodized aluminum scales and stainless steel rings. Available over on my Etsy shop, I can do custom patterns like this with basically any of my designs.

The leaves outside aren't turning quite yet where I am, but they're falling already in my workshop.

I was really happy with how the colors turned out on this one. The colors on these masks are more variable than most, since I mix the dyes custom to try to match real-life leaves, and then I paint them by hand.

They're available over on my Etsy!                                    

Skin beast. Made from the shreds and remnants of many different hides of leather.

I’m always fond of the ugly parts of a hide of leather. The scars, the brands, the ragged edges. Parts that you can’t use for a regular project. But sometimes the bits languishing at the bottom of the scraps pile call out to you, demanding that you make something with them.

This one-of-a-kind nightmare is available on my Etsy!
