Had this pattern by @nilsbeardfoot.bsky.social for a while now and finally made one. It’s going to be attached to a walking stick for me to carry at conventions with my critter outfit 🦇 #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #handsewing #bat

Picture: the back of a bat made of leather. The leather is embossed with ornate stamps. The bat is colored purple along where bones would be and a dark teal on the wing membranes

Picture: same bat from the front with the wings wrapped around itself. The head and ears are visible from the top of the crossed wings

Another project bag for a comm that’s going across country. I really like the leather and thread colors they picked #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #handsewing #knitting #crochet

Picture: a dark teal purse/project bag with floral embossing. There are two matching arm straps of different lengths with purple stitching

Picture: the same project bag from a 3/4 view. There are vertical stitch lines corresponding with pockets for straight tools and a “U” shaped stitch line corresponding with a phone pocket above the straight pockets

Picture: the same project bag from the front view with the same stitch lines showing from before

Project bag comm for a friend. We’re discussing a few changes, specifically with pocket size and shape #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #handsewing #knitting #crochet

Picture: a black purse/project bag sitting on a granite slab. The face of the purse is an 8”wide x 10”tall rectangle with seam lines running vertically up from the bottom corresponding with tall pockets on the inside made for crochet hooks and knitting needles. There is another pocket above these skinny pockets

Picture: same purse from a 3/4 view, the front is still visible. The side comes up to a point like a tent

Picture: inside of the same purse with a shoulder strap coiled in the bottom

Tried to capture a lightning strike with a firework going off and this was my closest shot. Got rained on but worth it. Other two are just pretty 😆🎆 #4th #celebration #lightning #photography #fireworks

Late gift for a friend. This Estwing #3 rock pick is over 60 years old and was used by them and their dad many times over those years. The original sheath was falling apart and I asked if I could make a new one as a gift #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #gift

Finished up a hand sewn notebook. Had a lot of fun with picking out the leather and coming up with the pattern #leather #leathercraft #leatherwork #handmade #handsewn #fantasy #book #notebook

A leather bound notebook with two skulls with leather loops as closures. The leather is embossed with alligator looking scales in brown and turquoise

A picture of the note book open. The open notebook has pockets made of the same embossed leather, an A5 size 6 ring binder insert and colored lined paper

Is there anyone that does hand fasting ropes and might be interested in a trade? My fiance and I are getting married this fall and I would love this to be part of our ceremony but haven't the budget atm - perhaps someone would trade art for a custom?

The witch took her hands off the patient's body. "First of all," she said with absolute conviction, "there's nothing wrong with you." "The doctor-" "Said you must be either man or woman?" "That it's black or white, no grey." "Nonsense. Every colour in the rainbow is between black and white."

Making a small personal project. This know pattern is called the Vortex Tutorial by Weavers of Eternity: youtu.be/A5lGrFgYDgE?... #paracord #handmade #edc #nonbinary #bi #bracelet

The start of making a bracelet. Seven strands are tied to a black middle core. The strands from top to bottom are: black, yellow, yellow, white, white, purple, and purple

Those seven strands from the previous picture are now knotted in a rotating knot down the bracelet to the middle of the bracelet

There are now thirteen strands attached to the core to transition from one pattern to the next. The new colors of strands being added are: dark pink x2, purple x2, and blue x2

The old pattern is now halted and the new colors are spiraling down the rest of the bracelet

Haven’t made anything with paracord in a hot minute. These are to hand out at a veterinary conference I’ll be attending soon. I’m very hype #paracord #handmade #keychain #free #pawprint #gift

Two keychains being held in a hand. The keychains are made of a navy 550 paracord center with yellow and teal microcord cobra knots running down to a lanyard knot made from the navy paracord. The ends of the keychains have two tassels with teal pawprint beads attached

Pictured is a hank of navy 550 paracord, a spool of teal microcord, a spool of yellow microcord, two teal paw print beads, and a silver keyring

Round two finished! Modified the vial holders and they are much more secure. Happy with it overall and I now have a pattern that I can use for the next commission #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #commission #handmade #craft #crafting #fantasy #larp

I’m so glad I reattempted this gift project. Gotta practice organics more often, but I’m happy with how the second go turned out #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #improvement #flower #craft #crafting

Pictured are two handmade green leather bracelets, one above the other. Both have their own purple/pink flower in the middle. The bottom bracelet’s flower looks more detailed and natural compared to the top

Pictured is a green handmade leather bracelet. There is a pink/purple flower in the middle of the band. A simple design to each side of the flower. The band is displayed on a black piece of granite

Share our wins, share our failures. This piece was “finished” till I noticed the bottles could slip out the side (as pictured). So I cut the unsalvageable panel, re-dyed, and finished that edge on the body and now I have a cute shoulder bag #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #failure #silverlining

Pictured is a black rectangular leather shoulder bag on the right with a spine design running up the edges. On the left is a cut off panel from the shoulder bag with a piece barely holding a glass bottle. Both pieces are displayed on a black piece of granite

This is freehand practice piece for organic tooling. I’m not great at organics (yet), but we’ll take another stab at it. It’s for a handmade item exchange and I want it to look good. Wish me luck #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #practice #organics #flower #green

Should be done with this saddle bag tomorrow or the next day. I like how it’s turning out. It’s for a coworker’s plague doctor cosplay #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #commission #fantasy #renfaire

All the pieces to make a leather saddle bag laid out on a black piece of granite. The pieces are a light tan and smooth with two glass bottles sitting next to them

The pieces of leather displayed on a black piece of granite. The light tan leather has been tooled with a design that looks kind of like a spine on two of the pieces, the last piece has two “F”s tooled into it

The same pieces from the first picture displayed the same way. Most of the pieces have been dyed black and tooled with spine designs
