When you have Dice Oven over for coffee on Thursday and he asks you if you can design a #Daggerheart tracker before SPIEL, you can leave it up to Luuk to have a working prototype in 24h and a whole new product right before we pack up the car 🗡️

Scrolling through some old folders and finding back pictures of Noor 6 years ago, starting out in her own atelier, making her first leather sleeves (for binders) and the bracelets that launched her into the world of TTRPG leathercrafting ♥️

Sometimes it feels like everything in the world is sliding backward, and it gets overwhelming.

And then I think about the art community—the people making and sharing work, supporting each other, keeping creativity alive. I’m just really grateful to be here with all of you.

So much silence since the Elfia ren faire, but we've just been so busy and SPIEL is not so far away... We're hard at work in the workshop! And cool new items are underway!

We might be finaly sourcing enough of the black and dark blue leather needed to make our #ttrpg products in our famous Galaxy paintwork with gold inlay to bring it to the webshop (and not just a few for conventions)! ✨
Which means making all the notebooks and bracelets and whatnot to photograph...

A fullbody character art featuring my character Flann, a half-elf woman who appears to be in her late 50s, with olive skin and white hair in a long braid, adorned with trinkets. She has her rapier over her shoulder in one hand, and she wears a bright confident smile.
