A small set. Phone sleeve and card sleeve. Hand-dyed leather, hand-stitched with a forest green thread. Lovely pine trees stamped on front and back.
@maique oof…so…yeah, this is interesting. Guess get a fire going to boil water and start hand grinding!
I’ve been doing pretty good the last week or so at reading before bed.
This was a very fun project to work on. Challenging, new, learned a lot! Suede inside and out. Hand-painted logos. All very custom :-)
🤎 Coffee round 2.
Pausing one, moving onto the next for a few hours.
A few tweaks before client work.
Day set.
@leBonheur That exactly, that is the intent behind all of what I make! Glad that is something that stands out!
☕ Eager for the day ahead! Happy Thursday!
😴 A late work night after spending the evening with Mozzie. Bed soon! Next two days are packed!
This bag has been more than ideal as a daily carry for the past few weeks now. Just need to finalize a few smaller details. Very eager to get this one announced officially!
🪰 All of the pesky things dealt with, time to head to the workshop!
@jean it was a good day teaching him, an opportunity I'm thankful to have once a week this school year!
School day yesterday with this awesome kid ✏️👨🏫
@jean Same! Have a few other themed products in-progress with them. Make for a great fall and winter look.
Hoping to add to my never-ending list of things to do to make a “Christmas Catalog” website (specific to my leather goods), one-page, and attempt to replicate some awesome early web design and feels. Requesting any of your favorites that or a good resource for browsing designs of yesteryear.
Continuing to test, which is going well. Will be available for sale soon (with or without the pine trees, with or without out a monogram, two sizes, several different leather/finish options. Ordering will utilize simple email correspondence and then invoice for payment).
Been too busy lately. Good busy, but still. Need to figure out some type of quick restorative break before being fully immersed in the Christmas retail season.
Was very needed.
Painting this morning 🎨
@ericmwalk September for sure!
Morning starts lately.
🙃 These late night creative bursts will fade eventually, following them as long as they last.
Giving The Jefferson as a gift later today. Have made a bunch of “unboxing inserts” as a result.
@Mikehendley this is beautiful!
You’ve Got Mail.
Later night than anticipated but had to follow a creative burst.
😊 Good morning so far. Caught up on sleep. Fruit for breakfast, with coffee, of course, while writing. Laundry handled. Indoor plants watered. Everything looking good. Now some light work, then whittling matches while watching football this afternoon.
@antonzuiker if I was in NC I would absolutely do this. Hope something can work out!
Made a stitched dual-layer hand-cut shoulder strap for the bag this evening. Much nicer. That and the snap in/out top provide excellent progress…I think this one is coming together nicely. Just a few details to finalize yet.
Bit by bit.
@jaheppler the color of that sky!!
@jaheppler about another month or so and we'll be there! temps were such a few days ago that I had one of my flannel button ups on. strange august weather so far for sure!
@KyleEssary thank you! credit to @ningkantida for designing it :-)
@jeremycherfas sounds good! Feel free to send to aaron@amaiken.com
@jeremycherfas realized I looked at this and then never responded 🙈 yes! This is something I’d be interested in doing!
@alexink kinda going with a theme :-) will be using orange thread, should convey a vibe.
@ericmwalk thank you! Nice to use as-well!
