Hey guys! An update on this bottle project... after a week or so using this out and about day to day, i noticed the majority of my leather wrap was shifting on the bottle... as well as discovering that my thoughts on how i was going to sling this bottle at my side were different in practice than in theory. So, i removed the lower clipping point, added a bottom, and made the upper clipping point smaller and out of a tougher suede. As this is just a prototype, i probably won’t be selling this in this color (cost effectiveness and such) but i will be making more bottles like this and selling those! More on that to come. SEE YA!!!

Working on making this thing a little safer right now... an exercise in chain mail and leatherwork. Hopefully to have some featured in cosplays in the future

I know this isn't prop related or even cosplay related... But i wanted to have a moment of silence for a very special youtuber who was shot and killed... I'm just hearing about this myself, but if you want any info right now go check out and their video on the story... Rest in peace Christina Grimmie

I hate this. I hate this more than most any story I've had to cover in the past year. Someone who gave themselves to people, and had so much more to offer, t...

Forgot to post these before... My natsu cosplay

04/21/2016

Ok... So haven't had a lot of energy to do props recently, and that is my bad. Here is what i am working on rn (albeit this is a VERY early stage of the process so ya) for a secondary cosplay for upcoming Fanimecon in san jose (in case i can't get my Natsu Dragneel done in time)
I have always loved the Harry Potter series, and i was saddened that none of the good characters ever utilized a wand cane (not unlike a sword cane in function). I am challenging myself by only using parts and pieces i had laying around my shop for this.
I will also be doing a bit of woodcarving and woodburning on the handle for the wand(and the cane), just as a demonstration of what i can do. Will post when finished!!!
