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

I’m contemplating rolling over and stitching down the top edge, what do you think? #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handsewing #handmade #smallbusiness

Was very busy today with the airbrush #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #handmade #dyed #rainbow #DnD #dungeonsanddragons #dndclasses #dragon #airbrush

A rainbow of dyed leather pieces played out on a table and chair. Each piece is a solid color and most have all 13 of the DnD class icons stenciled onto the pieces in black. There are a few square pieces with the same icons in the middle. 3 of the pieces have dragons stenciled onto them in black

The same bag without stuffing. So the bag looks very slouchy and sad

A couple proof of concepts wrapped into one, very over the top mousepad 😆 #leather #leatherwork #leathercraft #dragon #mousepad #gaming #ridiculous #handmade #tiedye #airbrush #fantasy #dnd

Hand tooled into the bottom half of the mousepad is a dragon facing you, wings unfurled. The tooling is inlayed with black to contrast it against the tie dye background

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

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
