Ya’ll ain’t ready for this one.

Dyeing leather stresses me the fuck OUT because the dye comes out the first color, applies the second, and dries to the third. How am I supposed to tell what looks right 😭😭😅

Also check out how the final layer of leather care wax makes everything SHINY

Ended up just really liking this pattern and whipped up another one! XD

Banged out a quick little card holder as a proof of concept

You know, I haven’t made one of these bad boys in a while. Anyone looking to pick up a wallet? I’m itching to make a small project while I wait on some big plans to marinate. 60$, free shipping to the continental U.S., happy to talk custom ideas 🐶.

Leather man hard at work

Revisiting one of my favorite projects. I wonder what I could reasonably charge for one of these? 🤔

If you can guess that this is gonna end up as you’re way too intuitive

One more bump for this before I move on to starting a new project 🐶

Genuinely touched by this being my most interacted with post on bsky. Still looking for a taker but I’m still so so happy.

You know what? Fuck it. I keep telling myself I’m not ready and making excuses but I told myself 2026 would be a year of new challenges. So, taking a commission on one of these handmade leather bear paw bags. Asking 250 +40 if also wanting the strap. DM if interested or with questions. 🐶

Is this what they’re calling hashtag craftcore

My latest bag has one goal in mind: drive southwestern moms fucking NUTS

Maybe? >.>

They asked me to throw together a proposal for a December class at the art collective I teach at c:

New project new project new project

Starting up a new project today, I think. I have had this gorgeous roll of Italian leather that I’ve been too afraid to mess up on that demands use

Finished that sister project! A custom strap for that bear bag. :33 This bag is destined to be my every day carry I think. Toting it to dinner tonight.

I did finish this custom rainbow leather harness for my best friend. Runs a little loose because it’s meant to be worn over garb but still looks fetching solo imo. Learned a lot from the building and can’t wait to make another. :) I need to make one for someone to model x3

Reception to this latest bag has been so positive 😭😭❤️. I’m not even totally through yet!

Was going to wait until I was finished with a sister project before sharing, but I can’t help it. Just finished the final touches on this bear bag that featured some new techniques, like the stuffed paw. Lined in real suede inside and out, this one’s for my personal collection I think.

I have stabbed my little paws on accident too many times this project 😭

Stiiiill looking for a furry that does graphic design 🐶🐶

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Putting together a proposal to reach a leather craft class and I didn’t realize how little I know about projects that only take an hour or two as opposed to my usual multi-week spanning affairs xD

Ya’ll ain’t ready for this next project

This one was more experimental than anything else and it’s not exactly the season for a woven summer basket, but I certainly learned a ton ahaha.

Ya’ll check out this beautifully hideous piece of leather I got a hold of

Finished the handle ^^

A two-in one fold over handbag that can be worn crossbody or toted around by hand. This leather is so soft ugh.

Experimenting with a new way to make straps and I’m very excited.

2026 will be the year of doing it big for me. That’s the goal.

Soooooo pleased with this latest build. Supple green suede lining, two tone closure, and a brand new edging routine really set this one apart.

Saw a time lapse of a luxury handmade purse designer and now my confidence in my ability to produce is Yamaha death pose

Ya’ll ain’t ready for what I got in store for this one

Suede lined Putter Cover for a birthday. A few minor changes and this could also be a cool belt pouch I wager.

A Journal Cover in a wonderfully pliable Wyoming Oil-Tan I have. As always a first build is full of errors but, I’m happy with it.

Let’s see if I can wrap this one up by Wednesday night

And a new experiment begins. Can anyone tell? >w>

Sunglasses case v2, this time with edge work ^^

If JOC leather had a mascot what kind of sona would it be? … I’m thinking badger

Tooling around with a logo because why not

Whipped up a prototype sunglasses case before dinner as a quick way to keep me busy while I wait for other projects to dry. Anyone want one? I’ll use my good leather I promise xD

Assembly begins

God I really hope I did my math right

Cutting done. Now onto the applying of various creams, oils, soaps, sealers, sheens… maybe I should treat my own skin this good

May need a harness model in the near future.

... so what exactly do I post when I'm like... building a 'brand' and can't rely on beefy dudes? ... Wait I work with leather maybe I can work with beefy dudes.
