Spent last week restocking earrings that have sold out. I’ve (finally!) replenished all of these offerings from last fall … and then some. There are lots of leaf motifs to welcome autumn, and a few newbies too.
I still need to add a few tweaks and details, but it feels like a tiny bit of progress. Crossing fingers that I’ll be able to cobble together a small shop update soon. On that note, please let me know if there are any past designs you’d like to see again!
There are little piles of leather leaves all over my studio right now. Oak leaves, maple leaves, sycamore and even a few fairy and elf leaves … all in a riot of autumn color.
Eventually they’ll be fashioned into hair accessories, such as hair slides, barrettes, clips and pins. Most likely, I won’t be able to work on these too much until November. “Mask season” is going full tilt right now, so (almost) all of my energy is going toward mask and costume design.
In truth, I probably should not have been working on leaves at all. If I were a more disciplined artisan, I would focus exclusively on masks this time of year … but I do love these little leaves, and it’s hard to resist making them when there’s so much inspiration around me!
