A few pics of my favorite Christmas customs which are now safe to reveal. :)
The dream catcher has labradorite, turquoise, and amethyst center stones and glass seed beads. The strap initials are hand embroidered. The skull is hand punched black on white leather and was a new technique I really enjoyed! The leather on this wallet wears in to a nice distressed look, and the key chain was just a fun request from a friend. :)))) I can't wait to see how your requests for loved ones inspires me next holiday season. Till then I'll be making lots of new inventory for my spring open studio! (Stay tuned for details.)
