Long overdue update

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 22, 2008, 4:46 PM
Thanks for taking the time to check out the work, please let me know what you think.

All of our masks are hand formed leather.

Many are also for sale, please contact me if you have any questions.

Custom/commission work is available.

Our website [link] is up (bare bones at the moment)

I make the masks, but my lovely friend Vandy does all the paint and fine detail work. Even if I wasn’t colorblind I could never hope to do the amazing things she is capable of. Please check out her work here

Thanks for the friending =)

Thank you for the critique. I am very interested in incorporating new mediums into our work. I was thinking along the lines of semi precious stones and taxidermy eyes... Texture has been on my mind much of late. Yes, we can tighten up the eye area. I personally dislike anything too close to my eyes or blocking my perifirial vision. One of the really neat benefits of leather is that the more you wear it the more it fits itself to you.

I love your leather masks, I don't know which ones to :+fav: because they're all so beautiful =)
*Lastwear:iconLastwear: Jan 29, 2008, 8:54:24 PM
Awesome :D
We'll have Stock done for Sakura-Con by the end of March which means that come the start of April we'll
a) have sold them all and will thus have the budget to get a whole bunch more made or
b) we'll have a bunch of Hakama for sale.
I'll post a sizing tutorial in the next couple of days so once it's up let us know what color and size you'd like and we'll get on it.
