Got a chance to try on someone's @snapjaw.bsky.social hood at a party for (somehow) the first time! It felt delightful to wear. Honestly tempting even though I'm like contractually obligated to only wear my own designs to events.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a local ask me to make a repair to their leather chaps that ripped. I undid the seam, wove the threads back in so they wouldn’t fray, and added a patch. Gave them an extra inch so they weren’t so tight, hopefully more comfortable now.
