Wheeee had to write a groveling email to Etsy support because they deactivated one of my listings when I’m positive it didn’t violate the policy they said it did. I’m betting what happened is an ai decided a mannequin torso was a real butt and was too sexy.

I’ve been making swatches for all the dyes I have and man, this is only like half of them I have too many colors. (Actually like 2x as many paint chips as dyes because I wanted examples for two levels of dilution. Some of the dyes are so strong that they come out nearly black when used straight.)

Leather dog bone! Finished stitching this up last night. The zig-zag stitches in the middle are because the leather had a couple scars there and I thought it would be fun to highlight them.

Recently hung a set of modular display shelves that I'd made a number of years ago. Back when I worked at a laser cutting shop, I'd been working on a number of furniture projects. I ended up focusing on costumes after leaving the shop, but I am still very fond of the pieces I made.

A pair of fallen leaves masks I made last week (I think, time is fake). One is fresh with the greens of summer, the other is turning to autumn. As always, made of leather, designed by me, cut with a laser, hand dyed, and available on my Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/6429...

Anyway here’s what I was working on when the sewing machine let out the magic smoke. A harder project than I’d expected it to be.

The sewing machine I just picked up has started making a bit of a sad scraping noise from the motor side of the casing, and also giving off a noticeable burning smell. A repair place said they would expect $150 just for the motor if that’s what blew, plus the repair time. Sadface.

I’m loving how this looks but holey flatcones batman this took 4 hours. Would have been a lot faster if the packs of spikes I got off amazon hadn’t had an actual 25% failure rate. I counted.

Hedgehog pincushion! The denim maybe wasn’t the best choice for that purpose, but I like how it looks. Trying to make a few small things to practice with the sewing machine, though this guy ended up needing to be mostly hand-sewn.

Massachusetts friends remember to go out and vote for Markey today. It’s daunting as hell to keep track of local races; do your best or leave it blank. But we gotta show up for out trans friends, here and all over the country, and a resounding defeat for Moulton is the best way to do that.

GOOD NEWS! Our flyering around the neighborhood paid off! Finally some relief after a very bad week and a half! Thank you to everyone who kept an eye out, who boosted our posts, and especially to the kind neighbors who found and returned the mask!

Picked up a sewing machine from Allston Christmas! Probably won’t become a core tool of my trade, but I’d wanted one to experiment with some things. (Padding on the big masks, linings, etc.) Probably it’ll see more use on personal projects, but that’s fun too.

URGENT! We just got a tip - someone saw a person carrying what looked very much like Tierney's head. The person boarded the 54 bus Southbound in Baltimore City. PLEASE boost this post! We might have any chance of recovering her if this post gets seen enough!

Pup muzzle in my Sea Breeze colorway. Most people get these with custom colors to suit their outfits or characters, but I am pretty happy with the couple "standard" color gradient options I put together.

Put together a menu of the different colors of thread currently on my shelf. Someone asked about it when ordering one of these rolled leather collars, and I just liked how the composition came out.

My personal pup hood needs some updates. After I think 2 years of hard wear, lots of sweat and stuffing it into bags, its second ear has flopped, and the muzzle has gotten squashed out of shape. Let’s see if I can throw together new bits in the (checks watch) 3 hours before a dance party tonight.

Someone ordered three of this fallen-leaves masks, asking for them all to be identical. I wanted to show them all together, but it basically just turned into a camouflage pattern and you can't really tell what the shape of any of them is. Whoops.

Chainmail socks? I picked up and finished this old personal project the last 2 nights. Had made the first one I don’t even know when, then stalled out halfway through copying it for the pair. Sometimes I need to make something that’s unreasonably tricky just to see if I can.

Working on a chainmail cube, this is the first layer done. I use these as juggling balls, where they have a heavy weight (they’re fully stainless steel), a solid catch, and are indestructible. But they also make for a delightful fidget toy, being quite floppy but also still definitely solid.

Ngl this is probably the hottest photo of me I’ve ever gotten. And this was just in a basement club venue with a single flash. Bostonians, you deserve a photo shoot with Husk.

Dragon muzzle mask in black, with Kelly green scales on the top. I gotta say, I was so glad when I finally found this green dye, I'd been suffering through disappointing greens for years. Pulling this one out of the photo backlog, this one was from about a year ago.

Neapolitan ice cream pup! Watch out, they’re gonna drip all over you. This was a custom request from a local, they had a pup hood from a different maker and they asked me to make some fixes and improvements. Replaced the nose with one of my own, added the appliqué ice cream scoops.

Custom canine muzzle with a pair of blue markings on the snout. This was a custom order after ANE this last January. The beginning of this spring’s string of projects that forced me to get a bit more confident with painting details.

Working on a codpiece with a custom paint job. Done to match the client’s Warhammer themed armor set for, if I understand right, HEMA light saber battles. The other armor pieces they have are all also covered in screaming faces.

I don't know how to paint well enough (yet), and it violates my self-promotional obligations to always wear my own products to events. But. Ever since I saw this design I knew I would be sorely tempted to pick one up for myself. I don't know if I've ever seen better dragon scales. It's so gorgeous.

I've spent 3 hours moving 2 rivets 1/8 of an inch. Did this all because I'd left myself some "helpful" notes for improvement last time I assembled this design. If this doesn't fix the issue I will scream.

Wolf skull muzzle mask! This one was bought by a local friend last year (not shown here, this is a different friend), and it’s become such a part of them that I almost can’t think of this design as anything other than their face. Integrated into their fursona and everything. Truly an honor.

Doing a round-up of a bunch of my small mask designs. A lot of these are some of my earliest designs from when I was just starting with leather, but I keep making them because I still think they're fun. (These are the winners from that era, I've let a bunch of designs fade into retirement.)
Three leather masks, each with one side apparently rusted and crumbling away. One is silver fading to tarnished gray, one is blue-green eroding to a darker blue, one is dark yellow falling away to brown.Two masks in a robotic style, assembled with rivets out of a number of small angular pieces. One mask's component pieces are dyed a mix of teal and silver. The other uses a rainbow of colors.Two masks with a cut-through pattern resembling abstracted muscle fibers. One is brown, one black.Three masks with a pattern of small swirling cuts across them, as though of breezes or wind blowing on the surface.

Black codpiece with rows of metal spikes. When I originally added all these spikes to this design, I thought it would just be ridiculous and funny. But people have seemed to really like it! So next I gotta figure out how to put even more and bigger spikes in somehow.

Custom lined collar with a lunar phase design. This one was made for someone I used to help run a minecraft server with, and sadly that group of people fell apart under unfortunate circumstances shortly after I made it. But, it's still nice, and I'm still proud of it.
