Just letting folks know I'm alive!
Didn't realise some of our email addresses have not been coming through, so have been trying to catch up on my breaks, if you've not heard from me yet don't worry, I'm getting there!

I'm eyeball deep in prep and getting last orders finished for the month, so not on my top game admin wise, apologies.

The new workshop supervisor is a bit judgy too....

We have a mutual friend involved in helping this new, fairly local event get off the ground, so have offered ourselves up as tribute to the Gods of cosplay craft!

Come and check out some of our work, Jules's stage talk, "From Cows to Capes - Leather work in cosplay" and grab some tips and advice about this traditional craft.

You can also sign up for their fun cosplay competition here!

BEHOLD! KRATOS RAGNAROK!

To recap...
Derrek asked me to make Kratos's costume from the game, God of War - Ragnarok.

The inspiration for this piece was from the Art of God of War Ragnarok, which shows their own designers' absolutly gorgeous progression of costume decisions.

I asked for a high level of artistic license so that I could really go to town on bringing elements of his journey and character growth into the detailing and design, with a smattering of references to the actual mythological Kratos and a very small easter egg to another, totally different game, that features costumes from GoW!

I think I literally carved a portion of my soul into this commission, and I've never been prouder of myself!

A huge big thank you to for running an amazing festival once again and to The Cosplay Journal for having us as a part of their Cosplay Court area, we're already excited about 2025!

If you missed it, you are seriously missing out! The Wasteland area was a freaking spectacular setup, straight out of Mad Max cinematography, pirates, pixies, mushroom folks, fae, forrest creatures roaming the grounds, a Krampus walk, bands, drool worthy food stalls, a veritable smorgasbord of creativity and traders, and so much more! Did you see the Steampunk guys on their travelling machines??!!

Anyway, we, too, had to sadly pack up (veeeery slowly lol) and leave. Got home Monday afternoon, and pretty much were all half dead 😆 so apologies. I didn't manage to get back to business yesterday as I originally planned. I needed to recover. Today will be messages and admin first

The biggest thank you has to go to everyone who came by our stall to chat about your own leather journey, watch our demonstrations, or to have a go yourself with our Polly.
Also, it was bloody great getting hugs and catching up (however briefly) with friends I've not seen in far too long.

We've got exciting plans for an FF community leather project to run as a workshop next year, so watch this space!

Brain still mushy, so heading for the kettle, will post photos throughout the day!

Anyone heading to Fantasy Forrest this weekend, bring sun cream, fans and water.
Stonking bloody heatwave...11am and it's 25° already, expected to reach 28° this afternoon

Fingers crossed the weather just stays "Nice" this weekend at Fantasy Forest 😀
Last year was Soggy as hell, then Glorious but damp!

We're going to be there to educate and chat all things leather as part of Cosplay Court and Polly will be there, of course, letting you hit things with a hammer for your usual anger management sessions 😆

We will be back in the workshop Tuesday, when the ghost of Winter Soldier will be put to rest, and Kratos will be finally brought to life!

A lot of enquiries regarding Glamdrig coming in recently.

The process for these is now sorted, and I'll be doing a run of them to start with in January.

The belt rig, with scabbard (to fit a united cutlery blade), will be £850 plus shipping.
This does not include the Glamdrig sword.

If this is something you'd be interested in, please let me know, and I will get a deposit payment up on the website when the numbers are decided.
