Here's last weekend's leather work!

I made a few drawstring pouches, a leather rock sling, a spiked ring, and fixed up an old knife sheath that needed some serious TLC.

Hope you all are well! Go forth and explore!

Yesterday I quickly slapped together a leather bucket hat using a pattern by DieselPunkRo

Sadly I cannot find any of my mannequin heads to use for display so enjoy these two floppy basic pictures. 😆

Let's try this again. So today I did some proper leatherwork and finished my girlfriend's leather phone pouch. Ren faire is in 2 days. Lets GOOOO!

I tried to paint in the little crossbones i stamped on the latch. But I rushed it, and it didn't take. C'est la vie. Maybe I can touch it up tomorrow while I'm finishing up the belt.

I'm just glad I'm back to working on my projects.

I have to get up in < 5 hrs. And instead of sleeping, I am reviving my long dead tumblr.

I should have gone to bed earlier, but my GF needs a pirate themed belt and pouch for the ren faire in 3 days.

That is a lie.

The real reason I stayed up late was I was working on a project and couldn't put it down. That project IS the belt & pouch for the ren faire but it wasn't stress over the deadline it was just my mono-mania.

Sorry for the rough pic. I'll do better next time.

If you're not following the Swann Street siege story this morning, it's incredible.

Yesterday evening, D.C. police forced a large group of peaceful protesters and demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in a tactic known as "kettling."

Kettling is a military technique to encircle people, to box them in on all sides, into a smaller and smaller and smaller space where they can't retreat or escape from. In American protests, it's often accompanied by police forces taking advantage of the fact that protesters can't retreat to inflict maximum harm with teargas, batons, and other weapons for an extended period before doing mass arrests.

It's not a dispersement technique, it's the complete opposite -- it's a technique of intense aggression, and it's controversial because it's seldom used in good faith and often results in intense prolonged violence, with the intention of also cutting everyone caught in the kettle off from medics, aid, food, water, the ability to leave, etc.

Last night, D.C. police pushed demonstrators into a residential neighborhood in an attempt to kettle them. But residents of the neighborhood had been watching, and threw open their front doors to protesters, including a first-generation Indian-American man named Rahul Dubey.

Rahul and his neighbors sheltered a hundred people or more, between them, for eight hours last night, including having teargas fired at their homes and having the police try to enter their private property several times through various methods. They were rebuked and dispelled every time.

Rahul and his neighbors orchestrated food, medical aid, and lawyers during the siege, including ensuring protesters had safe escorts this morning.

So.... if you make silly little spike rings, and you make one for your thumb, be careful when you adjust your belt.

Ouch
