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!

Finished Koozy for a buddy! Always fun that you can personalize the hell out of this stuff.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I got into #leatherwork because I wanted to make a Skeletor Costume in 24. It has now turned into an obsession and outlet for creative energy.

First time making a Koozy! Going to modify the pattern to make it a bit bigger. Also my first time doing just antique (which I did again for my dice tray). Great pattern to make quick gifts and get tooling practice.

Bag made for my wife's birthday. Came out pretty rad! First time using d rings. Tooling design inspired by a few of her favorite things. Always love a lined belt but oh man that hand stitching will getcha ya.

First Dice Tray! Really fun to make. Tried out using a background matter to get the shading on the letters. Template I made will work out for other designs. Had to improvise a leather washer when I realized the line 20 Snaps were not gonna work on 3-4oz leather.
