Bird! Bird! Bird!

Raven skull mask, painted bone white. It's one of the designs that I tweaked recently (added that rivet between the eyes to keep the beak pulled up in a good position), so I've been slowly phasing in new photos.

Available on my Etsy,as always.

New lined collar design! The strap is cut through with a flowing pattern of waves rolling and crashing into each other.

I just posted it up on my Etsy! Take a peek!

Red Riding Hood

This mask was a prototype, testing out a way to do ears. I'd modified it from a fox mask I'd made previously, was aiming for bunny-like ears, and it came out as being A Creature. Ended up tossing the mask into a yankee swap gift exchange back at christmas.

Made a leather collar with a bi pride flag design!

Added this as an option on my rainbow/pride collar listing:

(Also I should make a fresh copy of the rainbow one, I'm happy now with this rivet size but my previous iterations were not very consistent.)

Silver owl mask! This was a request for a custom colorway. I'm not the most confident with painting, but I think the feather texture came out OK.

More versions of this mask design over on my Etsy.

Bones? Bones.

This wolf skull muzzle is one of my favorite designs. More painful to make than you'd expect, but worth it.

Thanks to Rey for modeling, they helped me take a buuunch of photos recently so you'll see them for a bit as I make my way through the shots.

And of course this mask is available over on my Etsy.

We're Having a Fire! Sale! Hey all, we've gotta move cross-country, and that means we'd like to move these doggos ahead of time (other oddities & prototypes to follow)

Sale runs for roughly one month!

I'm participating in the total no-buy blackout today, and I encourage you to as well--does 1 day do a lot? Maybe not, but I hope if it even ruffles some CEO feathers, it will make folks feel empowered to continue to deny their money to the people who seek to oppress them, as much as it is possible. The cretins at the top have made it clear they only care about money and violence, and I'm up for trying one first.

I'm also continuing my commitment throughout the 40 days of Lent, to only buy groceries, pay my rent/utilities. Nothing else. Lent is a time of personal reflection--often framed as reflection on individual sin and "giving something up" but I think in these times it's wholly appropriate to use that time to reflect on the harm the average American's consumption has on the world at large and on the people living in it. I can't be perfect, I am still stuck in this system like everyone else, but I can try, I can be mindful.

Fox mask I made a bit ago, painted white with a pink nose.

I think I'll be updating the ear construction on this pattern soon, but I'm still pretty happy with the overall shape.

You looking to get bit? This shark hood is hungry for a new victim.

As always, made entirely of leather, which I designed in 3D, laser-cut the pieces, sculpted dyed, finished, and assembled by hand.

Previously seen here

Coming to a doorstep near you through my Etsy shop.

Rolled leather collar, constructed like the handle of a fancy briefcase.

This collar is, in my opinion, ridiculously comfortable. It's not too heavy, but fairly stiff, so it feels really solid on you without weighing you down. The rolled design means you've got no edges or corners on the skin, just the smooth waxed surfaces of the leather. And when you go to grab it, it's got such a nice heft in your hand. Makes you really just want to pull someone around by it.

Made of a brown harness leather, which highlights the grain of the hide really nicely. It's wrapped around a rope core and hand-stitched together, then I trim and burnish the edges also by hand.

It's available over on my Etsy! Go buy it I want to make more of these! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1814827150/rolled-leather-collar

Fuck.

I'm sure many people have already shared this here, but I think it's important that people here on Tumblr need to see this.

"I disagree with Kamala's position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?" by US Senator Bernie Sanders

[armoreddragon]

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

Neon green pup hood! This one is made of garment leather, making it extremely comfortable to wear. Also the ears wiggle delightfully when you shake your head.

I intend to make more along these lines, with different snout and ear shapes. I'll make some subtle tweaks to the design for the next one, aiming to make it wearable with glasses.

Not sure how many colors of leather I'm going to stock, but this green is my absolute favorite color, so I got a hide of it just for fun a while ago.

This one is available over on my Etsy! Next up is going to be either a dragon or a cat, let me know what other species people would be excited about.
