Three more orders completed! A purple-oriented dragonscale collar with gold & bronze metallic accents added to a scattering of scales, a blue & black braid-tooled collar, and a purple & black collar with dark lavender heart, drop D-ring, and a 4ft leash to match.
The heart on the last collar was a fun, small challenge as it's sewn border is how I got it attached to the piece. Probably one of the sole uses I've had for my curved sewing needles and it worked great 💜

This weeks progress so far! Ive got two, custom punchwork collars tooled and resting overnight, and then five spiked collars, in black and dark brown leathers respectively, in the works for inventory.
I'll also be starting on some demo work for a punchwork constellation collar this week as well 👀 it's been a few years since I last made one, pretty stoked about it tbh!

Last week was a productive one! Not only was I able to get two more custom pieces ready to sew, but also five new, spiked collars, and liners ready to sew for a few other base model pieces for inventory.

Teaser for a collar that's being made to test a prototype addition. I'll let the photos speak for themselves instead of holding the reigns myself ;p really happy with how the two-tone highlights look turned out for the tooling, need to explore it more.

And the handle prototype collar is going very well too~ 🎉
Had to redo the handle a couple times as I underestimated the collar's curve when buckled together, but this one should work well! Also wanted to spruce it up with a subtle western-inspired border and leather lacing. Emphasizes and stylizes the asymmetry 😏 It too is ready to be sewn up here.

And the first custom harness from FWA 2025 is also complete! This'll be heading out to its new home soon as well. So many diamonds punched, spikes screwed, accents painted, and stitches sewn, and all worth it ❤️🔥 love when a harness comes together like this

Alrighty, and with dropping off those orders at the post office, all but one order from FWA are complete! The client of the last order has already been contacted and we'll be continuing work after I get back to the workbench at the beginning of Sept.
Speaking of! August will be a break month for myself, and with such I wont be able to readily respond to inquiries and such. Once I'm back at the bench, it'll be gungho on rebuilding inventory and other potential projects. I'm hoping to open up for online custom orders sometime Sept/Oct, but dates are TBD and slots will be limited due to projected timeline before convention season.
Due to the ongoing tariff BS and...everything...I'm going to need to increase my prices some due to rising material costs. Materials across the board have risen anywhere from 20-40% depending on origin and materials and it fucking sucks. Not sure what they'll look like, but the increases will mainly be to the base price, not so much the additions.
But yeah! Things I want to do by the end of this year:
- Complete the final FWA order
- Make updated, online price sheet
- Refine online custom order form & open for limited slots
- Cull the backlog of portfolio postings
- Explore R&D options for more, budget friendly items
- Figure out an online store setup
