She is an amazing artist.

Back on my bullshit with some tooling practice. The original artwork is by jtaidraws on Instagram. She graciously permitted me to post this. She is on the podcast Spout Lore. If you like fantasy-inspired TTRPG podcasts, check them out. #podcast #ttrpg #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathertooling

Continuing the theme of key chain fellas that are too bulky today. Here's a tiny plague doctor's mask. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathergoods #diy #plaguedoctor #steampunk

My mom asked for a Jack Skellington plush, so I messed around with the poppet plush. I think it turned out pretty great. He's missing his bowtie, yes. Still gets the point across. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathergoods #diy #jackskellington #nightmarebeforechristmas

Oh, fucker, I can't edit it. Have a hashtag or three. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathergoods #diy #dragon

Finally, the little dragon head guy. It's supposed to be a key chain, but it's a little bulky. I don't have a close-up of the pink one, so here's a red one.

Here we have the plague doctor plush that I made. I bought top grain leather for the face, and boy, does it cut like rubber. Wish I could find more buttons like these for the eyes. I think it turned out pretty well. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #plushie #plaguedoctor #diy #handmade

Ok, the poppet I promised in my previous post gets its own post. I've made quite a few of these. This is an older one, so I didn't use Tiger thread yet. #poppet #magic #leather #plushie #leathercraft

A little leather baphomet plush fella. I also made the poppet, the wee plague doctor, and the pink dragon head thing. They'll get their own posts eventually. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #baphomet #plushie

I've done most of those things. At work today, so... y'know, if anyone's hiring... 😅

My druid costume for Renfaire. Bone sword, staff, and ruana cloak all made by me. I try to keep posts with me in them to a minimum for obvious reasons, but it's difficult to show off the cloak otherwise. #renfaire #renfest #druid #bones

I found this swordfish rostrum at an oddities shop. You won't believe what happened next! It was a sword. I made a sword. Deer jaw and Buffalo shin for the rest. Some leather to hold it together. Dope-ass druid costume to follow. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #diy #druid #renfest #renfaire

A cuff I made for an Amon Amarth concert. Turned out better than anything I've made, in my opinion. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathertooling #tooledleather #amonamarth #viking #vikingr #thor #metal

A cool harness/garter thing I made for a friend. Tradesies for a tattoo! If you live in the Milwaukee area, she works at Black Sheep Tattoo in South Milwaukee. You can find her on Instagram at golgothatattoo. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #bdsm #tattoo

Ah, fucker, I didn't proofread and I can't edit. Just pretend I *did* proofread, and it's all actually right.

This is the lady that cuts .y hair. She now owns a dope-ass apron. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft

A wallet i made for a co-worker's grandson. Apparently, a fan of The Grateful Dead. Glows in the dark for fun. There's also a small NFC chip in it that plays Touch of Grey when you scan it. (It's the only song I know by them) #leather #leathercraft #leathergoods #leathertooling #gratefuldead

I made a journal cover for a co-worker recently. The world on the front is from his TTRPG campaign. It was a fun challenge, and now I'm making two more for a friend. (Not with the same image, obviously) #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathertooling #tooledleather #dungeonsanddragons #dnd

I haven't, but I could.

Awl of Cthulhu @awlofcthulhu.bsky.social · Mar 4

Thank you! Maybe I'll make another now that I'm better at my craft.

A dice tray I made... quite some time ago. It was for a friend who got a dope-ass gaming table. These are all old projects because this is a new platform, but it has me actually posting. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathertooling

A sigil I put on leather. It's a sigil made by @luxastrata919.bsky.social for The Green Mushroom Project. I've gotten better at tooling since I made this. #leather #leathercraft #leathertooling #sigil #sigilmagic

A Star Trek badge I made for a friend a few years ago. I used magnets instead of pins, so the last photo is on my refrigerator. Thought that was kinda fun. Like macaroni art by a five year old. #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #leathertooling
