A night of painting. Working in some of the color into the WIP wallet from Beserk.
All red may be a bit challenging but i am going to play with the shading of it. Layering that base red over the black is important since Black is a harsher color it takes a few layers to get that base down.
From there i will probably end up doing a darker red, just to start getting a more shadowed feel in it. Same for the Rose, and then the final will be doing some small detailing with Black.

Finally able to get someone to work on a web page for me! Big steps. Any other thoughts? Feel free to toss in some ideas as well please.
The dream is a few galleries with photos of work I have done. Nice pictures of them (going to try and be professional) where you can select a photo and have it open up more images of the piece, a description and average pricing. Also it would allow customers to submit for a quote on custom work. Eventually I think blog style work would be cool and if im coordinated enough i will do mid process photos for the pieces as well.

Hello all!
Just a view of a belt I made for the Ren Faire. It is a ring belt, and it is all hand stitched down the side, hand dyed and hand painted.
This also shows the pattern piece I did as a template for all the colors and stitching. This i usually do to send over to a customer for approval.

Happy Thursday all! Here is a few photos of a sheath I did.
Everything is hand cut, measured, dyed, and stitched.
The finish on it is the usual. Leather Balm, a resister, and Mink Oil!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey Dan - so there are a few steps involved there and probably more than you were looking for lol.
The design itself is carved in using a tool called a swivel knife. Then to get it “popped” from the background you use a beveler and hammer.
From there I used an angelus leather paint. After I apply desired coats or colors I wait for it to dry.
Next to have the color stay more vibrant/stand out a bit before staining I added a resist clear coat (usually I apply 2 coats).
Hope this helps!

Good Evening folks!!! Hope everyone is doing well!
I plan on starting a new project soon in leather working. Something for Rein Faire, im thinking a custom pouch or a chest plate. No idea yet.
Either way, here is some silver/gold work I have done. I soon plan to post some more in progress images/videos as well, just need to finish my set up!
This photo is a bit of a throw back. All my silver stuff is hand made. It starts out as a silver sheet and is cut from a piece of metal, hand filed, hand set stones, hand designed, hand soldered and hand polished!

Update just in general on my Bitcoin experience as I dive deeper into it.
Some folks have been super nice and zapped my posts which is awesome. This has opened up something new to me. Laters of Bitcoin? Layer 1 and layer 2, lightning channels ect. I am still wrapping my head around it.
I have been reading through this guide. https://learnmeabitcoin.com and it has been very helpful for my rudimentary understanding. Any other good resources people use?
Im thinking this week to post some images/videos of goldsmith/silversmith work I do.

Hey all! This is my first post on nostr. I do leather working and gold/silver smithing.
I plan on sharing work i have done, tools i work with and any other relevant things! Also I am open to custom work and any questions.
Each post with an item I will try and provide a description about it!
The attached photos are of a Ring belt I made for myself for the Ren-Faire.
- Belt Blank
- hand punched holes
- hand dyed
- hand stitched (saddle stitching)
- finish is a leather balm, then a pro resist and lastly mink oil
Future I plan on replacing the black ring with a gun metal gray.
