New idea for the open mouth hood with micro perforated eyes. When wearing it with the muzzle from the head harness, the blindfold buckles are dangling about. Instead, there should be just enough space between the laces eyelets for belt loops to thread a strap with buckles through.

Gotta wear some extra leather to psych myself up for making endless straps 😅

Top tip: lemon juice is a gentle enough acid to get rid of rust or verdigris without damaging leather. Keep your old pieces alive!

An intro to DARKROOM Zine

How many notebook covers can I make from this?

Look how insanely big half a cow is. Almost touching the floor off the edge of the bed

If anyone wants to get into crafting, but worry they don't have creative skills (like me), I just want to share the sad scribbles that hopefully eventually become a beautiful toolkit bag.

Ikea flat pack suspension harness. Just add some shiny bits and padding bits. Now to bevel and burnish 16 metres worth of straps 😅

Muzzle ready to go! With with new super soft leather lining and extra D-rings to lock onto a custom body harness

Make yourself comfortable. You're going to be here for a while. 🐺: @punkslut.bsky.social

The shop called this 'gloving leather'. Super soft, and inside a muzzle, it's like your Dom's gloved hand over your mouth for as long as the padlocks stay on

SELLING I've bought these too small and need to go up in size. Mr B Indicator jeans in red, custom size 27, pants end above the ankle to fit inside boots comfortably, ankle zips. tinyurl.com/4693vdwh DM me offers. If anyone has a size 28/29, I'm buying.

Starting to think about what weapons could go with the armour... Does anyone have any good references? 📷: @archiealpha.bsky.social , @darkroomzine.bsky.social

Work is done. Time to get to work. What are we making today?

I got carried away and did some sequel pages to this one. If you want to see the middle transformation scene, check it out at the $10 tier of my SubscribeStar ( SubscribeStar.adult/boomersm )

Want one of the two prototypes? Drop a comment ON THE ORIGINAL POST. I'll pick two people from among the comments on the post by the end of the weekend. All I ask is that after trying it on, you send me your measurements and tell me how it fits.

Finally have the hood / head harness combo I started like two years ago XD

Latest version of the hood is a winner i think 🎉

Guys, I'm looking for tarot decks with male characters as the Arcana. I already have the deck from @mockingbirdleather.co.uk and I plan to buy one from @stjinxart.bsky.social, but if you know of other artists selling this kind of thing, I would very much like to know.

Three prototypes in (we don't talk about nr 1), and I'm feeling pretty good about the next one being close to a perfect fit on my face. Was fun to wear proto 2 at the Recon party! Next step will be to get it to fit other people too 😂

Recon tonight was enough motivation to make it to the gym for the first time this year 😅

All done 🎉

Half an hour of gold paint in, about 5h to go 😅

Starting a suspenseful 2026. The sexy other half @kinkykam.bsky.social hanging around with me. Wonderful vertical/horizontal suspension harness courtesy of the talented @mockingbirdleather.co.uk

Catching the morning sun on my armour with @archiealpha.bsky.social in the old Abbey. A cold nose was well worth his fantastic shots!

Quick edit this morning of my shoot with @mockingbirdleather.co.uk. To include it in the zine or not to include it in the zine?

Shooting this morning with @mockingbirdleather.co.uk

First task of the new year: wet shape my new shield

Of course we managed to do a big old carving whoopsie in the middle of the design 😅 Will have to see how much of that can be hidden with stamping and dyeing

Aaaand we're commited to the shield design now 😂

Doing a New Year's clean out of my wardrobe, so this is your chance to start the year with some new comfy leathers! All As New. 1/9 Starting off easy, a grey leather jock from Prowler, size S, with tag, £25

Another suspension harness done 🎉 Extra padding so you can hang around for longer!

Second making an appearance in the first edition of the zine is the leather worker extraordinaire @mockingbirdleather.co.uk. Excuse the lorem ipsum 👀

I just got my new major arcana tarot deck done by some of my favorite LGBTQ kink community artists. Holy shit they’re so well done! All the applause for @mockingbirdleather.co.uk for putting this project together. I love it!

Gonna be missing the con scene for a while, doesnt mean Liam cant get up to no good :3 Collar: @leathersaurus.bsky.social Neckerchief/cuffs: @mockingbirdleather.co.uk Socks: @angypaws.com Hood: @mrsleather.bsky.social

We're approaching drone territory XD

V.2 is a big step up! Vision is pretty good. Still needs refinement at the sides and top of the head. If anyone makes hoods and has some advice to offer, that would be glorious. Not quite the eye contact I initially went for, but the sub can at least wear it all night without bumping into things.

My first attempt at an open eyes open mouth hood made me look a bit too much like a luchador, so instead we're microperforating leather by hand 😅

Flat is finally warming up to an acceptable temperature, so it's time for lounge leathers 😋

Fancy a little Christmas gift for your kinky friends? Get them the Kinky Tarot set, with contributions from 12 kinky artists! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30617755... or DM me.

I promise, hand pumps aren't hard! Fox brain just doesn't work so good. Thank you to @kariwanz.bsky.social for letting me purchase this amazing hood! Leather left on briefly for the photo then removed so not stain the latex :) Collar: @leathersaurus.bsky.social Bandana: X: @MockingbirdLthr

Got a shirt to go with the armour in less kinky settings. Wish I had some brown leather trousers to go with it though XD

Arf! Just a dumb little bound pet 😵‍💫 Fantasy fulfilled, courtesy of @mockingbirdleather.co.uk for the pet crawler 🥵 📸: @beampup.bsky.social 🤍

38 buckles, 83 D-rings, 21 hand stitched sections, and about 8 kg total. For those who like to feel strapped tight all over!

So sadly my phone died, and with it the app where I kept track of my waiting list for leather commissions 🙃 I am going through emails and messages to try and recompile it, but if you are currently on my waiting list for anything, please drop me a message to remind me so I don't miss out on anyone.

Clothes? Where we're going, we don't need clothes!

Cape is done at last. Time for a nap 😮‍💨
