Finally started my own leatherworking business and it's officially named The Leather Geek! I'm so excited to be among the small business owners and look forward to making many different geeky leather items!
If you would like a custom crafted leather creation of your very own, please don't hesitate to ask me!

I've also started up a new website that will house my leatherworking blog that will showcase tips and tricks.

Finished the Smaug leather cuff in time to wear it to the opening of the last Hobbit movie.
I ended up tweeting a picture of it to the official Hobbit Movie account and they retweeted it!  I was quite surprised by that, and by all the wonderful responses people were tweeting back to me.
I can't wait until the movie comes out!  More dragony goodness!  It's so impressive what they can do with CG now.  I remember how awesome Draco was in Dragonheart when it first was in theaters. (He still looks pretty darn good)
But Smaug really is insanely detailed.  Blows my mind. :)

I might make a couple color variations on that bracelet, just for fun too.  Maybe a Draco colored one!

Loki Belt Bag

1 min read
Yet another leather piece to add to my Loki collection.  Honestly I didn't start out thinking I would be creating a set of some sort, but hey, why not.  And yes, if you take a look at the amount of knotwork on that small bag your hand should begin to cramp up.  Pretty painful to hammer out, but worth it in the end.

I wonder what else I will add to this set.  Any ideas? Anyone?  Requests, comments, fire and brimstone?

Avengers Series

1 min read
Had a fantastic idea to do a complete series of leather cuffs based on the costume designs from the movie. I'm having far too much fun thinking up designs for these...

The ideas for Captain America’s design, Iron Man’s, Black Widow’s, and the Hulk’s  came to me fairly quickly, but I’m getting some Artists Block on Thor’s and Hawkeye’s.  Thor’s costume is difficult because there is so much awesome to work with and I’m having trouble choosing which aspects I like best.  Hawkeye’s is a 180 degree shift from that, as it is rather simplistic, and doesn’t have any one thing that really makes it stand out.  It works really well for the character, but is quite difficult to boil down to fit on a small wrist sized cuff.

I may also design a cuff for Agent Coulson, because Clark Gregg is full of win. 

And no cast of protagonists would be complete without a great villain to battle against, so of COURSE I’m going to make one of Loki.  Did you expect anything less? ;)

Yay, today is the Grand Opening of my shop!  It's called Ta Da Laboratory, where I do my leather experimentation down in my basement laboratory!  Yes, it's a bit of a Mad Scientist's Workshop down there, but I'm excited to unleash it upon the world.  Most of my ideas are a little ad hoc, and not very planned out that I usually finish them with a "Ta Da!"  Hence the odd shop name. :D

Stop by the shop, and stay tuned for the incoming flood of leathery goodness that I will be adding in the coming weeks.  If anyone has some ideas of what they would like me to add to the shop, let me know!  I love a good artists challenge!
