Here's the last in this polycule set. Its my own personal cuff! Each one of these cuffs were custom engraved or painted to represent our sonas while also matching in style, some colors, and the charms.

Love this one and wear almost every time Im out, a lovely reminder of amazing critters in my life

A white day cuff with rose gold hardware and feathers painted in pink, blue, and purple. It has charms depicting feathers, a wolf, and a paw print.

Fun fact about this one, not long ago it was dropped and accidentally run over by a car (very species validating for the certain kittydeer it belongs to) it even has tire tread marks now.

The cuff survived and while it needs some touch up work, it held up surprisingly well and is being refurbished.

A photo of the damaged cuff after being run over and left in the rain. Its dirty and scuffed and the hardware needs a good clean and replacement but the leather survived well!

Here's the next in this lovely polycule set of day cuffs! I love that I was able to add snow leopard rosettes onto this one and it just fits the lovely critter who got it so well!

One more to go in this lovely set that I'll share tomorrow.

Sometimes a custom piece becomes really special. This is perhaps one of the more detailed pieces I've ever done in terms of painting and dyeing. Im so proud to have made this day cuff for the critter that received it and will share the other two partner pieces over the next couple days

Still have a backlog of custom orders that Ive finished but not shared here. Going to try to be better about doing that!

Here's a lovely purple and silver martingale collar that I made a little while ago. Love this thread so much and it goes great with the newer vibrant purple leather I have.

Wanted to share a business update with you all. We are in the process of moving and as a result processing and orders will be paused until probably next week or so. Once I get my workbench set back up I'll jump right back into it.

Thank you for your patience!

We're a couple days past Furswap and I'm still floored at how many people showed up and how many of you grabbed some of my work. As an artist, it's always easy for me to assume my work isn't anything special but you all continue to prove this wrong with your support and orders. Thank you so much!

Got some lovely collars ready for tomorrow. Hopefully they find some critters to go home with!

Had fun with colors on these. Even tried out glow in the dark thread for the first time on the black and white one.

Come by tomorrow and check them out with your own paws at the Furswap!

Been photographing some of the projects aive been preparing for the upcoming furswap tomorrow in Seattle!

Tell me, what charms would you add to your boots?

A variety of small leather charms meant to be laced onto boots displayed in organized rows. Each charm has a different design or color including a variety of pride flags, paw prints, therian symbols, anti ICE, antifascist, and even a design that is just "UWU"

A bit behind on showing off custom orders recently.

This black leather and rainbow hardware martingale with a custom dog tag is a delightful piece.

If you've had a custom done, please help a bird out and show off some pictures.

So many of these projects deserve to be showcased.

I'm not sure how to get people to see my work.

I make beautiful cool things but without consistent followers seeing it nothing ever moves.

I don't know what more to do, so here is something cool. I mainly post cool stuff. Please follow along to see more 😊
