Someone Ordered 4 Dozen Of My Leather Fortune Cookies. It Used Up My Whole Scrap Pile! I Like How You

Someone ordered 4 dozen of my leather fortune cookies. It used up my whole scrap pile! I like how you can see the range of shades the leather can be, depending on what hide it’s cut from. 

I didn't hear back from this client, but usually orders this large are for wedding party favors. If you'd like a pile for your own mysterious reasons, you can find them on my Etsy here, or single ones here.

Raven skull mask!

I’m slowly going through a bunch of old mask designs and adding this little bend and rivet at the bridge of the nose. It helps pull the snout (beak in this case) upwards to point out from the face more cleanly. It’s a small but marked improvement on the shape of the masks. But it does mean I need to do a lot more photo shoots again.

Just a round-up of a bunch of the masks I’ve got in stock. I got these posted up on Twitter a couple days ago, but probably not really time to get them shipped for Halloween at this point. 

These masks and more are all up on my Etsy shop.

Having tested a few of my chainmail pieces to failure, I can attest that in the long run, the failure mode is the stainless steel rings eroding through the aluminum scales. Not rings getting pulled open. This takes 5+ years of daily wear for jewelry, and primarily appears at the point of greatest strain and movement, being the connection between the last scale and the adjustment chain.

For my larger chainmail projects, I once had the pleasure of repairing a tail that the client had apparently worn daily for over a year. Seeing which scales had worn through allowed me to specifically reinforce those points of failure, to even further extend the lives of my future tails.

Just finished up this big matching set of a scale necklace, 2 pairs of earrings, and 2 bracelets.

All made with anodized aluminum scales and stainless steel rings. Available over on my Etsy shop, I can do custom patterns like this with basically any of my designs.

Wolf mask!

This is an older design, but I recently updated it (added that rivet at the bridge of the nose) to improve the shape of the snout. After trying it on a couple designs, I think I’m gonna be going through and making that same tweak on a lot of my old mask designs.

Wolf mask in white, at the request of a customer. I normally go for dyed finishes, but I gotta admit, this came out handsomely.

I think I'm gonna add these as a standard option for this design. You can find it over on my Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/222009492/wolf-mask
