Saira Workshop @sairaworkshop.bsky.social · Jul 27

Hi! New in this social media, let me introduce myself:
#leathercrafter specialized in #LARP and #fantasy reenactment, and a selftought #foamsmith. Here you can see a little sample of my usual line, but I work mostly with custom commissions
#artvsartist #leather #leatherwork #propmaker #artisan

Collage of 9 pics. At the center, a woman with leather black choker shaped as a shirt collar. Around: picture of a green, yellow and red stegosaurus pencil case, almost front view. A bunch of leather flowers: magnolias, lilies, roses, tulips, orchids, with different colours and effects, realistic and fantastic. A leather dice bag with a D20 shape, marbled painting effects in white and blues, grey thread, golden carved numbers and a dice with two barnacles carved and painted in gold too. A chakram and a rapier hanging on a stick, made of foam and painted simulating old steel. A belt like a Celtic inspired sword, buckle made in leather being the handle, and painted in silver, bronze and brown. A brown and green sporran with Bilbo's door from LOTR decorating the cover. Three dice bags as dices, a D20 with malachite look and bronze numbers and thread, and two D12, an old bronze w Roman numbers and a blue w futuristic yellow numbers. And three tiny sunflowers, two pendants a beard bead

12 pics, 2022 art summary. First is January, a sith leather belt from Star wars over black robes. February, white winged bracer with blue reflects. March, leather mannequin head used as a mask. April, two Ryvstrad passports in antique leather with a deer head carved inside a shield in the front. May, blue simple bracers with alchemist/astrological signals glowing in the shadows. June, wood and methacrylate magnifying glass shaped as a raven claw with more signals around an eye in the "glass". July, leather round pendant with the texture of a leaf in the center. Aug, steel simulated winged bracer. Sept, fucsia and purple D20 bag with silver numbers and the letters JI, and silver thread. Oct, serpent skin simulated belt, dark yellow at the sides and green at the center. Nov, archery semi-glove in brown and green protection on the index finger. Dec, similar glove, in medium and dark brown, bigger protection and decorated at the wrist with a snake with runes biting its tail around a tree

Collage with several product photos. A winged bracer with iridescent painting simulating the colours of a raven (black with blue, green and violet highlights), three sporran-style belt pouches with shield-shaped covers (simple silver warrior's, red and black heraldic with a griffin and a hippocampus, and a plain brown Viking one), an antiqued bracer with a Viking dragon carving, two belts (a studded brown one with an old gold buckle, and a silver and blue one with dwarf-style borders), selfie wearing a facehugger mask (from Alien), red and gold women's armour (consisting of breastplate, corset, shoulder pads, scarcels, bracers, greaves and winged tiara), detail of a carved dog's paw with textured hair and a triskel on the larger pad, two sash belts (one black and sober and one aged with a barbarian design), and three flowers (a violet iris, a pink and yellow tulip, and a white magnolia)

Ok, I finished this today at 7-8am after a maddening last week crunch and I'm too exhausted and frustrated to update the whole process, I need to rest urgently, and couldn't take decent pictures, but... a preview of a hopefully much better look on 2 weeks
#handmade #leather #leatherwork #larp

Pic front slightly towards right side of a black leather cuirass and corset. Both moulded for a female body type, thin waist, prominent hips and breasts, even though it's put on a male mannequin. Japanese inspired decorations tooled and embossed at the front (a quince branch on the cuirass, Nobunaga's emblem quince flower on the corset) and painted in golden

Pic 3/4 left side and front of the same pieces, cuirass stitched in barely visible black thread, and corset stitched with a decorative braided stitch in golden and black lace

Total lateral pic, the volumes more visible as well as the straps at the sides, also decorated in a golden tooled border with golden rounded buckles and rivets

Really close pic of the quince branch at the front of the cuirass, very detailed and small, milliliter sized flowers and leaves, the branches textured

Almost 200 pages in and I finally witnessed Ead making Sabran laugh for the first time. Truly the slow burn experience of it all.

I illustrated some sticker & bookmark designs for the Priory of the Orange Tree official merch collection with Kingdom of Threads!

🍊 kingdomofthreads.com/collections/official-samantha-shannon-collection

Illustration of three women from the waist up, with some orange swirls behind them. Tane is an asian woman with brown skin, a bob, and blue clothes and holding a blue jewel. Ead in the middle is Black with curly hair and a white shirt, holding an orange in one hand and blue flame in the other. Sabran is a white woman in a red and gold dress and crown holding a silver sword.

graphic reading: priory of the orange tree merch now available! with various sticker designs around the book cover of the main three women and some book quotes.

Between layers, I kept working on the straps and buckle pieces, hurrying up what I could but without the definite measures the straps were tooled in two times... Made it work, though, but at this point I was starting to lose my head. Anyway, I love this fleur-de-lis style so much...

Pic of the volumes process of the buckle attachment pieces, two with only the border decoration marked with the swivel knife, two with the inner part tooled so the border pops up, and the last three beveled so the edge is rounded

Pic of all the buckle attachment pieces tooled and beveled in what the upper side will be

Pic of four short straight straps, same attachment decoration as the buckle pieces but only one third of the decorative border tooled

Four more straps, a bit longer and way curved, before tooled but with one third of the decorative border marked with the swivel knife

I finished these two! Not totally happy with the colors, so maybe I’ll redo Bea.

I really, really, really wish I could make more (they keep me sane) but honestly… what am I supposed to do with them?

15 años que se dice pronto! La época en que empecé a descubrir quién era yo realmente... a través de experimentar mucho! A día de hoy echo de menos encontrar cargos vaqueros elásticos en los chinos, no os voy a engañar (esa camisa vaquera la he vuelto a empezar a usar hace poco!)

Foto cortada de grupo donde salgo al lado de otra chica en una estación de buses, pelo algo más largo de los hombros, camisa y pantalones vaqueros, camiseta negra, collar y pulsera de pinchos, colgante grande de acero y gafas de montura claras

The following for #WarriorNun is dedicated and persistent, can fans get #SaveWarriorNun to the top of the trending hashtags? That will definitely bring more attention to the show.

And in the meanwhile, I was painting the decorations of the corset. I have to say, metallic painting means a lot of trust in the process, because look at those awful first layers of golden... Believe me, it was even worst in person xD

First layer of light golden acrylic paint over the black leather, brushstrokes very visible and a layer so thin that looks like very old brass

Third layer of light golden, brushstrokes still noticing, but at least it starts to look a bit more metallic and homogeneous

Fifth layer of light golden, these last two layers applied with sponge so the brushstrokes are almost gone
