Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like say thanks you to all of my family, friends, customers, blog followers, Facebook friends and supporters in general. I couldn't do without your support and truly appreciate you.

Custom Order Deadline - 12/1

I wont be accepting any more custom orders between 12/1 and 1/1. December 1st is the latest I can start a new project and have it ready for Christmas. I've had to set a limit this year to keep my sanity and actually enjoy the holidays with my family. If we've discussed a project I need to receive your deposit by 12/1.

The Celtic Dragon finsihed

Here's some shot's of the celtic dragon and knotwork chain wallet completed.

Strangefolk- the aftermath

Here's a quick overview of StrangeFolk festival last weekend. The first day weather was fantastic! Unfortunately my sales were not. The second day brought rain and cool weather but my sales were much better, so I couldn’t complain too much. I did sell my two favorite items I made, a journal with an Asian dragon that came out really nice and the ship wallet I previously posted. I also made a purse for the first time, I think it came out really nice. Here's a couple of pics (via crappy cell phone cam). Check out my etsy shop for some new listings FattDaddy13

Wallet in Progress

Here's another wallet in progress just about that's just about complete. I really like this wallet, I mean I REALLY like this wallet. It's going to be a tough one for me to sell because I'm so tempted to keep it for myself!

A wallet in progress

I'm gearing up for Strangefolk-http://www.strangefolkfestival.com/ This will be the first show I've done all year and I'm looking forward to it. Having been a vendor at past shows this is always a fun one where you can find some good eats, treats and check out the other vendor’s wares. Stop by if you're in the area, you won’t be sorry.

Here's a wallet that’s ready to be dyed, finished and stitched up. I'll be posting a few more preview pieces as the show gets closer. I'm really excited with the wallets I've been putting together, I think these are some of the better pieces I've done. Post some comments or email if there's anything you would like to see me make.

The Dragon

Here's another sketch I've been working on.

Scooter Wallet-WIP

Here's a bi-fold wallet in progress that I'm donating as a raffle prize for Rallylujah!, a scooter rally here in STL on 8/20. There's a Vespa on one half and a Lambretta on the other half and I went for a weathered look with the dye.
































Dont forget to check out Rallylujah! Aug 20th in STL. There will be some good times had by all.

Possible Tattoo

Something I drew up and scanned.

Here's another one in progress, a belt that's just about ready to dye.

A new WIP

I have a few things on the work bench right now. Here's one that's getting pretty close, a wallet for a friend. Low quality pics via the cell phone cam :)

Memorial Day

My eternal gratitude goes out to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and those they left behind to keep this country free and the greatest nation on earth.

Creepies....

I've been slacking on the leatherwork but have been having a ton of fun painting these guys
