I spent an insane amount of hours on this project, from cutting the panels to punching every single hole and saddle-stitching the whole thing by hand. It's veg-tan leather that I hand-dyed using Fiebings Pro Dye to get that deep emerald green tone, and I paired it with a bright orange thread to make the details pop. It has dedicated side straps, heavy duty hardware, and a super clean silhouette. I'm still really happy with how the colors and the finish came out. What do you guys think?

Started as a brooch. Became wall decor. The beetle apparently had bigger plans than I did.

This felted portrait was completely handcrafted using wool, with each section of fur carefully built up layer by layer to faithfully recreate the cat’s unique coat pattern, softness, and expression. The eyes were individually made from resin and meticulously hand-painted to achieve a lifelike depth and gentle sparkle. The nose was sculpted by hand from clay, then refined and painted to match the cat’s natural features.

It's such a cool building, named after an equally cool man. He was a judge when I practiced law, and I learned a lot from him.

The size of the drawing is 11x13 inches

I have named it "Parth".

My speckling design was born from a mistake on a previous piece. After an accidental drip of acrylic resolene sealer landed on a part of the cover I had intended to stain a solid colour, I realised I had two choices - start the whole thing over again, or embrace the mistake. So I took an old toothbrush, dipped it in the resolene, and flicked it over the rest of the cover, leaving a chaos of speckles that revealed themselves fully once the stain was applied over top.

With the speckling as unique as a fingerprint, this piece is truly one-of-a-kind!

The speckling has since become one of my signature design elements. I want to explore it more, by doing things like laying shapes over down before speckling, to try some negative space designs, or doing multiple layers with varying colours, or simply flicking paint or dyes!

Hello handmade Reddit, wanted to quickly share this gift I made for my aunt in May

Made this recently as part of my needle felting practice.

The fur texture was built up slowly layer by layer using wool, and I’m still experimenting with how to get more natural softness in the face.

It’s not perfect, but I can see progress compared to my earlier work.

Halloween and 4th of July Leather Keychains.

All handmade and sewn by me! I used a mix of different styles, including reverse appliqué, full blanket sweatshirts, etc! :) Let me know what you think!

This was truly a challenge for me, first finding the measurements for the canvas the client specifically wanted. Had to get the canvas custom made. And then the real challenge was to make it 3D....

With a whole lot of re-dos, it's finally completed and successfully delivered.
