More Chain Mail and thoughts on Books

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 10, 2008, 8:15 AM
So after looking over the different submissions I have done I realized that I completely forgot to do a submission of the dice bag I made. I currently use it to transport all the chain mail projects I am working on and so as the carrying object I forgot to give it a photo shoot. Well that is now rectified and I have a new submission for it.

In other news I recently acquired a new laminator and a new paper cutter. The laminator will help with a jewelry project I am working on to make jewelry out of rose petals and other plant parts. The paper cutter will help with my paper cutting for book making. Speaking of book making I have been thinking of creating a tutorial, showing how I make a book from start to finish. Would anyone be interested in seeing something like that? If so I will start working on it, it will probably take quite a while to create though.

More Jewelry

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 26, 2008, 7:03 AM
Finally put together those collages of some of my work, and posted a few other chokers I have made. I think out of it all I am happiest with my books, they aren't quite bound like a professional book you might find at a bookstore but they fit well in a pocket and make great little journals or other such. I have a lot of leather and have custom made quite a few books. I am currently working on one such book for a friend.

Jewelry Update

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 23, 2008, 10:51 PM
Finally got some pictures of my jewelry. Tonight I submitted pictures of some of my chain mail as well as some of the chokers I have made. Most of the stuff I am going to show is stuff I made for myself as I have sold most of the stuff I made for other people. The background for most of my pictures of my jewelry is actually leather pieces I have for making books. Makes a great back drop for jewelry. I have some pictures of other things I have made but the other items have multiple pictures and I still need to work on putting together a collage of them. So you will get to see my pictures of the books I have made later. Tonight I took a picture of my personal poem book, and my furry book. Yes I made a book out of hair on hide leather, fun stuff. I will post more pictures later.

Books and Jewelry

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 20, 2007, 11:27 PM
I have been thinking about taking pictures of some of the leather bound books I have made and posting them. I am thinking of doing the same thing with some of the jewelry I have made. Maybe some of my chain mail workings as well. I have a few more stories as well that I could post, but I am not sure if I will. I just figure maybe my gallery could use a bit more than just my writings in it. Especially since I seem to make so much but often don't show any of it. Maybe I will see about taking some pictures of my African Porcupine quill hair sticks. Fun but dangerous.

Kitsune

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 17, 2007, 8:16 AM
Have written a few more things since the last time I updated this journal. I wrote a new story yesterday and posted it here, Vulpine is my take on the Kitsune myth. I am really happy with the way this story turned out. Much of my other writings are on my live journal. [link] If interested come check it out.
