My window is open, the sky is blue, the birds are singing, I'm in a good mood and I'm making leather and brass dragon pendants in all colors ! Which one is your favorite?

It's #ThrowbackThursday ! And what a memory with my first leather armor, immortalized during my first photoshoot in July 2020 !
I now only see the flaws, but for my fourth leather creation of any style (let's forget my horrible first handbag that I will never posted here^^) I have to admit it wasn't too bad.

Another truckers wallet under construction. 2 more cover panels to be carved, internal pockets to be cut and stitched, then closure fittings to be added, front and back stitched together, edges trimmed, sanded and burnished, then whole stained and sealed. Be another week or so i guess. Good to do in this wet weather.
Back from my family weekend, I'm stocking up to prepare for the reopening of my website. Not many photos for now but a few belts in progress including this "wood style" which I'm very proud of, or some like these vegetal motifs dyed in different colors.
In terms of belt dye, would you be more classic (brown, cognac) or more adventurous (green, red, etc...)?
Empezando de nuevo (por tercera vez ya) en mastodon, neopaquita edition:
Artesana española enfocada en el cuero, especializada en recreación fantástica y fumadas raras en general, frikadas, rol en vivo y softcombat, Jack of all trades master of none, antigua forjadora de gomaespuma, sospechosa de neurodivergencia y, sobre todo, muy fangirl de mis mierdas.
Crafteo 100% con estas manitas cosas que intento que parezcan cualquier material menos lo que es. A veces incluso lo consigo.
In a few hours, I'll be on the TGV to go back to my parents' house in Périgord this weekend (lovely region by the way^^). It's the opportunity to share here some of my best creations made for my family members over the years, because being a crafts(wo)man helps a lot with gifts!

Another simple card wallet completed and a happy customer.
Spring is approaching, and my leather workshop is filling up with cherry blossoms and dragonflies, ready to decorate your bags!
I'm currently making butterflies with the same pattern/idea and I can't wait to show them to you too! Are you more of a dragonfly or butterfly fan?
Η απάντησή μου σε μια διαφημιστική "καταιγίδα" πριν κάποιους μήνες, όπου προωθούταν ένα πορτοφόλι με στάμπα ελληνικη σημαία κ το είχαν ονομάσει "Πάτριωτ"

Many people think Celtic is synonymous with Irish. It wasn't until I started teaching myself to tool Celtic designs that I found the Celts (people who spoke the Celtic language) were disbursed far wider than Ireland, Scotland and Wales. #Celtic #LeatherCraft #tooling #carving
Setting hides characteristics aside (this black leather is much more stiff and always gives me a hard time molding, and this time I even had my hand sore for a full week), I have to say, even though I found myself comfier with the edges first system, the fullers first ended up being a faster system, because it requires less retouches later. Also, fullers looks better being less profound than edges

Making a wee quiver for myself: first time working with leather, and I reaaaaaaly love it. I'm going to miss this little group of weirdos when I'm gone I'm learning so much from them and having such a lovely time every weekend.
Spoilering because the first image is of a leather hide that clearly belonged to an animal and that can be upsetting for some folks
