Leatherwork
Wings
These lace on wings are full grain leather like the rest of my work; sturdy accessories made to be laced onto boots, skates, corsets, shoes- really anything with eyelets!
Planchette Slides
These accessories originated as hair pieces, but since then we have been using them on hat bands, belts, shawls, pouch straps, boot laces, and as curtain tie backs.
Carved Portraits
These framed pieces are one of a kind originals, composed and dyed to intimately tie into old thrifted frames and clocks. They can adorn any space in a home, from anteroom to altar.
Moth Slides
These Hair Moths are the precursors that birthed my Planchette Slides. Like them, they originated as hair accessories but we have since been using them on hat bands, belts, shawls, pouch straps, boot laces, and as curtain tie backs.
Bracelets, Bracers & Other Wearables
I always enjoy working on more traditional leather fare, and regularly accept commissions for costumes or armor. These normally come from Cosplayers, boffer sports such Dagohir and Belegarth, and of course those who attend or work at Renaissance Faires.
