{new etsy goodies}

 I have always had a love of leather crafting. I love the feel of the leather and the dimension that tooling adds.

{I love a process.}

I love laying out the design. I love the patterns, unique and original hammered out each time the mallet falls. I love painting in the details, planting a beautiful garden as I go. I love the staining. Taking the vivid color down a notch, creating a timeworn look, soft and weathered.

Each time a beautiful {process}. A routine. A ritual. An assembly line...

...a calming feeling.

 ...vintage seam binding tie closure adds charm to this cuff...
 ...LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!...
 ...a teardrop cut from leather, vintage beading, and a cabachon make for a beautiful pendant...
 ...these are my lovies...I love the vintage jewels. I have been collecting vintage jewelry for a long time, and finally I have found a way to use some of my favorite pieces...
 ...I fiddled with the stain and sealer until I came up with a beautiful {glazed} look...
 ...and the colors are wonderful. There is no rule for beauty in a garden, as there is no rule here...
More beautiful goodies coming to {etsy} soon!


{these are unique designs created for my etsy store. thank you}

{ muslin & leather plaquette cuff }

I love my leather cuffs, and I have many...but I am always looking to try something new with them...and so...

This is the latest. Another one of my coveted number plaquettes from my sweet friend Roben-Marie and her Art Goods Shop is front and center on this one! 



I criss-crossed walnut stained muslin to give it the look of cross stitched leather. 


Tied on a plaquette with more muslin and then finished it off with a mix of walnut stain and glossy mod podge. 



I went right over the top of the leather, muslin and all. It gave the muslin the look and feel of old leather. I LOVE IT!
