Manta Ray Watercolors

Waiting for my bags of mice to arrive...

Jellyfish watercolors

Can't tell on the picture, but the jellyfish is actually shiny because I masked it with polyurethane before doing the background. Tricky! 

Clay Le Hearts

Glazed my little clay Le Hearts last night. Also, little leaves. Note that glazes turn their real color only after they're fired. Can't wait for next Monday!

Taxidermy Mouse Soldier

Et maintenant, la pièce de résistance. Marcus Mousius, in a genuine leather roman armor and metal helmet. 

There will be two armies. A king and a queen, facing off on a chess board. Epic!
Unless you just want a soldier.

I'm looking into pewter casting so they can have little gladiī. 
And pewter, oh, the possibilities... Stay tuned...

Dashing Leather Eye Patches

Why do so many pirates wear eye patches? Why do they so often get poked in the eye with a sharp stick or a cat ò' nine tails, or one of those curved cutlasses that they sported with such panache? It turns out they didn't! 
When a pirate ship intercepted another ship, the pirates used to swarm aboard and take over. The pirates would make their way below decks - or downstairs as we landlubbers would say, to where the crew of the boarded ship had retreated. The poor fellows would wait for their attackers, under the safety of darkness, to come below from the bright sunshine outside, hoping to ambush the pirates and hack them to pieces before their vision could adjust to the low light conditions.
Knowing this, any pirate worth his salt would cover one eye with a patch before the boarding, to then flip it up when he had to run below deck, so that he would not be rendered completely blind by the sudden descent from brilliant sunshine into gloom.
This way, one eye would already be accustomed to darkness.
Isn't that utterly brilliant? Thank you Chris for sharing!
So whether you lost an eye, need a temporary eye patch or decide to become a pirate, you can get a dashing eye patch here.

Leather scarab

I wanted to make a leather sculpture. I made myself a shape out of sculpey and stretched the wet leather over it, carved the details into it, and voila! Leather Scarab. Needs legs and a wooden base.

Fishing Watch Band

Made this watch bracelet for my father-in-law, who's the one who got me into leather and gave me all his tools. He wanted that shape with that turquoise leather with a western-style something on it. He's an avid fisherman. He loves it!

Leather Belt Buckles

Fit a 1 1/2 belt.

Magic Wands

Magic wands, real ones! Each comes with an ancient artifact as a catalyst, medieval or older. You just have to provide the magic. You don't pick it, it picks you.

Norse Boar in Leather

Norse Boar for Chris, our beloved GM who goes boar hunting with a bow and arrow. Like a real Viking!

Fleur De Lys Leather Pendants

How very French, like me! Comes in several colors, with studs or crystals, and different types of bails. Pick the one that speaks to you!

Le Heart is alive!
