A great week for Features

I feel very honoured to be included on the following sites.

CanArtisan is a brand new site that puts the spotlight on up and coming Canadian artists/designers. It is put together by the wonderful Brandi who also has a site on Etsy called Enthral.

Read all about it here!

I can also be seen on Indie Collective in their Spring/Summer Shopping guide. They featured both my Metro-Man wallet with SNAP Pocket and my Steampunk Unisex Cuff with secret pocket.

Gilbea's Fashion blog. You can see my steampunk cuff amongst other fabulous cuff designers.

In other great news, my 2nd Steampunk Messenger bag sold!


What a great way to end the week.

Coming soon........

~~ Starlene Messenger ~~

I worked on a prototype bag last night and just finished taking pictures. Right now I am calling it the Starlene Messenger, what do you think?

It is all leather and very roomy. Unfortunately this was the last of the distressed blue leather, so the next ones will be in different fabrications.

New Messenger Bag and Model

My newest model is also my neighbour and she does a fine job modelling my new Fiona Leather Messenger bag in taupe.

What's shiny, new and Red all over?

It is not a new sports car but sure would make any man jealous! It is my new tool chest. I wanted something that I could house all of my metal hardware in one place.

It has 4 drawers and the hood lifts up. I still need to get more dividers for it and have to transfer over all my rivets and snaps from another system but I couldn't wait to show it off.

It fits under my riveting station, so everything I need will be right on hand.

The 'hood' opens up so I have chosen to put my leather working tools there.

This drawer is almost filled up. The bottom one is deeper than the other three:

I think I'm running out of room already! :-)

Thread bared in Modish Handmade Spaces

My thread rack was featured in Modish, what a nice surprise to see it there. My spools of thread was #6 and you can see a larger picture here.

Gothic Chic

My latest bag is gothic in feel but very chic. The leather used is soooo supple - it is definitely a paw-able bag so beware of strangers getting too close while wearing it. More pictures here.
