I decided that the middle straps needed to be shorter, which meant I also needed to make the side straps longer, so I will now have half of an extra harness left over.

Progress! I figured out which buckle setup is gonna be better, made the extras I’ll need. Will be able to punch all the holes for the buckle straps in the morning.

Starting work on a tail idea. If it works, this strap framework won’t be visible, but it looks kinda cool for now.

Thanks! I hope to work out a design for these that I can sell, but it'll end up being a bit simpler than this prototype. The sizing for this style of finger is proving to be really particular and fiddly, and I'll need to come up with a different method to be able to make them to fit other people.

Photos of a leather mask being worn, covering the whole head. It is made of many different scraps, pieced together in an irregular patchwork, attached together with metal rivets. The leather pieces are all slightly different shades of tan, looking eerily similar to skin. There are asymmetric eye holes, and an off-center nose hole, but the mouth and chin are entirely covered.

Got skin? We can help with that.

I saved up a lot of ragged edges and scarred patches from several different hides of leather, and pieced them together into this bespoke nightmare.

It could be at your door in time for Halloween! This is a threat!

I think I’m finally happy with a finger method. Pinky is the winner. It’s a lot of little bits to deal with and it won’t be feasible to resize the pattern for other people, but for this personal project, it’ll be something I can be proud of.

Dragon muzzle mask! This one made in dark green, with black accents on top.

I've quietly switched the direction I put the snaps on, so the straps are on the outside rather than under the mask. Looks less crisp, but is more comfortable.

Get one for your own face here!

Custom order of a spiked collar plus pair of arm bands. Used my favorite big chunky brass spikes, and dyed the straps a dark green.

I need to do some math before offering more sets like this, but in the meantime here's where you can get a collar in this style:

A pair of simple masks, designed to fit with eye glasses.

I've actually been getting a whole bunch of orders for these lately, but mostly haven't been photographing them, 'cuz it's just been making the same black one over and over.

Wolf mask in slate gray.

This is one of my glasses-compatible designs, and also I think the largest of what I consider my simple masks.

I do like this gray, but if I'm too heavy with the dye it just goes fully black. Gotta keep my eyes peeled for a different one.

Bones? Bones.

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

Thank you to @reykitty.me for modeling!
And it's available over on my Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/9579...

Dragon muzzle mask made in custom colors for a customer. Having the scales be such a pop of color was different from what I usually do, but it was fun to see!

The customer also needed a smaller size, but I didn't have a copy of the original size on hand for scale reference.

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:

Someone asked for a glasses-compatible version of my Fire Tiger mask design. I'd had issues with doing that on other designs, where the snout ended up too heavy and weighed itself down, but thankfully this one worked quite well!

Made an all-green version of my fallen leaves mask, for a friend who's attending a fey garden party. I threw every green dye I had at it, and mixed a few together to get even more shades.

Decided I liked this enough to add it as a "Summer" variant. Link now:

Photos of a leather pup hood. The mask covers the entire head, with perky ears and a projecting snout. The main material is a pebbled black garment leather, with accents in a neon green smooth-finished leather. It is assembled together with silver colored rivets and snaps. Photo shows the model tilting his head quizzically, with the beach and a bay in the background.

*head tilt*

I made new ears for my pup hood design! They're perky and pointy and bouncy. Very exciting.

Also got some photos of the tail that was part of this set.

I need to make more of these. I was really proud of how they turned out.

Dressage practice. I think formal wear and leather go together really well, and people should play with this sort of combo more.

Wanted to grab some photos of myself wearing this pony hood before I shipped it out to its new owner.
