I've been really pushing for that more realistic look and proportions. I'm getting closer, but there are a few things I can get better at to get a cleaner look.

Here is another simple sword I put together. I've been doing a lot of leather working and in-between I've been trying to get some simple swords together and here is one of them.

I was asked by a friend of mine if I would be willing to make a sword for him. I had the time and was willing sense he let me come up with anything. The only thing is it had to look like living wood and have a gem on it. Easy! I always wanted to try out a rapier look. I know it's not exactly a rapier as I can only have the blade be so thin but I think it worked out great for the crossguard.

I really wanted to try another way to do a wood grain effect so I threw together a shield back in August. Really love how it turned out and I'm super happy with the effect. 100% I'll be doing it again in the future.

I made this little short (or maybe it's a dagger?) in August after I got home from Europe. It was great to start something simple and get back into foam smithing process.

Awhile ago I made this trident but I couldn't show it off when I finished. Unfortunately I completely forgot to post the images once I was able to. This was my first trident so I had to figure out a way to make it durable and safe. Technically it's a spear that looks like a trident. The head is all one piece with leather reinforcing the arms.

Hi everyone! Sorry I took a huge break from social media after my vacation. Currently I have set memberships to just $1 as I haven't had the mental energy to spend so much of my time managing my social media accounts. I was feeling bad about people paying for the membership and not getting that much out of it. I still appreciate all the support. At this moment I am taking a break from commissions and working on making stock. Also, recently my Etsy store has really picked up, which has taken more of my time. I plan this week to get the knife tutorial going. I think for now I'll have everything set to 1$ and even those who make a one time donation will get access to everything. I'm a one person team and I ended up giving myself too many things to manage at once. I do have images of things I have worked on in the past few months that I'll be scheduling posts for.

Before I'm out of the country for two weeks, I've been working on something completely different. I was asked to transform some completely normal plastic water barrels into something you might see in a fantasy tavern. I designed it so the decorations are completely removable for easy clean-up. This was a fun project to figure out, but now I have to make a second one!

Just finished this sword! I adore this design, really love the griffins on it. The gem stones and the runes glow in the dark as well.

A shinny all gold sword! Yes, gold in reality, would be terrible for a sword, but this is fantasy magic logic. It works just fine! This is a LARP safe sword that comes out to about 30" long. Made from polyethylene foam, fiberglass, and Plastidip.

Had a long period of not making any swords, but I'm back at it with this most recent commission. This long sword was designed to look like an assassin's blade. It's 100% LARP safe and comes with a wood handle, giving it a nice balance.

The last time I crafted a staff was over a year ago, and it has been even longer since I made a classic gemstone staff. I love this staff as it showcases my improvement, considering the first staff I made was a gemstone staff. Another LARP safe staff completed!

Big chop from a huge axe! This axe was designed by the client. It's meant to look like an executioners axe but with elegant floral motifs. This axe is LARP safe, made with 2lb polyethylene foam and a fiberglass wound epoxy tubing.

Finished this shield just in time for this weekend. I think this is one of the cutest shields I've made. I was asked to make a leaf shield based on a Korok mask.

Thank you to all my Ko-fi members! :)

Just finished this LARP safe club! I'm surprised to say that this is my first club, I've made maces plenty of times but never a basic club. This club is designed to look like it's made from bone, wood, and leather. I had a lot of fun with this design surprisingly it came together fairly quickly.

Not the biggest bonk but it's still a respectable sized mace. This mace comes out to about 36 inches long and was made to look similar to a previous mace I've made in the past. The mace comes with a wood handle that has been wrapped in leather to help with balance.

This is something I've been meaning to add to my store for awhile. I know some people like to use my pouches as dice bags so I just added dice bags to my Etsy store. These are larger than my draw string pouches and they double as a rolling tray!
