Made some more mug straps for friends! The Aquilla came out a lil rough so I'll need to work on simplifying that pattern when it is so small. Happy with the results overall though! #leatherwork #leathercraft

Making a lil Koozy gift for a good friend. This is a pretty fun template to whip up something fast. Just enough space to lay down some tooling. Still in love with these backgrounders! #leatherwork #leathercraft

Skeletor Scroll Case Tooling! Not my art (reference from image search, this is for personal use only). I couldn't resist trying out these backgrounders. Casing was off so shadow feels inconsistent but still love this! Excited to finish the whole thing with dye, etc! #leatherwork #leathercraft

Haha! My last time at a fair as Skeletor I got a lot of "Where's He-Man?" "Give us a 'Till Next Time'" and my mind would draw a blank. I'm preparing scrolls with tons of responses and going to put a bit of theatrics into pulling it out of the tube and reading from it.

Working on some Sabatons for my Skeletor Renfaire Outfit! Pattern from Prince Armory Academy. Lil fiddling figuring out the fit but it'll do! #leatherwork #leathercraft

A little tooling practice while playing d&d. Trying out a new backgrounder stamp! Love it! #leatherworking #leathercraft

Oh wow! That inside burnish is so good. Thanks for the info! Really amazing piece.

elephat.bsky.social @elephat.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

This amazing! I love the tooling and the border on the outside is so good. Question: is this lined? If so, what kind of leather thickness did you use.

The other pouch I added to my Skeletor outfit for Renfaire. This was my first attempt at a digital design but I didn't properly measure the gusset. Went with a kind of Barbarian Theme for fun. #leatherwork #leathercraft

elephat.bsky.social @elephat.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

My first belt! I ended up freehanding the design with a small amount of prep for the Skeletors and Half Orcs designs. My first time doing something lined. This has become my primary belt that I use everyday and dang that feels good. #leatherwork #leathercraft

elephat.bsky.social @elephat.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Pouch I made to attach to my Skeletor costume for a Renfaire. This was my first time doing a toggle! Messy tying job but def a useful thing to know! Pouches are so much fun to make. #leatherwork #leathercraft

elephat.bsky.social @elephat.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Pouch I made for my niece using a Darkhorse Workshop Pattern. Super fun to learn this o-ring design. This was my first time painting the tooling a separate color and have been repeating it since. #leatherwork #leathercraft

Bag I made for my sister in law. 5-6 oz Milled vegtan with an attempt at Basil Leaves for the tooling design. Feels like a bag for a hobbit. #leatherwork #leathercraft

I have a real pouch obsession. This thing turned out a lil too big to have on a belt but I like the overall look and always enjoy these gear lock thingies. In conclusion, pouches rule. #leatherwork #leathercraft

Made a Bears themed Koozy for my brother. Learning to get more comfy with backgrounders. Still need to find that sweet spot with the pressure. Also, yes the C is backwards. Whoops. #leatherwork #leathercraft

My first wallet! Pattern from Darkhorse Workshop. I've been playing a Barbarian for 3+ years in D&D so was great to make a lil tribute to that character to carry with me. The elephants aren't exactly Barbarian but what can I say...I love elephants! #leatherwork #leathercraft
