A few new things making appearances in both shops today. Some pre-Christmas stocking up going on over here. Lake and Larch has the Mrs. Rogers Sweater and the Primrose Purse… While Shoot from the Hip has a Canada Grain flask and a couple cuffs…
[...] This is a custom cuff I started for my sister last week. She wanted it to be symbolic of a few different ideas/concepts near and dear to her heart and narrowed it down to the following symbols: a Celtic knot, a willow tree, the sky and a maple leaf. The cuff is two inches wide. [...] The cuff I worked on last week – a raven’s feather for the Yukon. I did the background in a faded shade of purple. This was an experiment in not making everything as though I were going to keep it for myself. My preference would have been a brown background and brass snaps, but I [...] Just a heads-up. If you are someone who comes here regularly, next week might be a little slow as the Supercrawl Curatorial Committee (which I am a part of) exhausts itself with last-minute prep and installations for what is sure to be an amazing event next Saturday, September 10th.

[...] After hammering out my first cuff of the Canadianarama Collection, designs took a turn for the freeform. I started cutting the bracelets to follow the shape of the flower instead of cutting the leather and then jamming the flower into the window created by the cuff. Yesterday I started on a new fireweed cuff – [...] Not just a catchy name, these guys grow in the rocky mountains of the high Arctic, making them the territorial flower of the Northwest. You won’t find any ice-blue on these blooms in real life, but I like the look if it here. Cold as the climate. Heading into the shop shortly… [...] Sean says that song is for the ladies. So is this cuff… The Saskatchewan Western Red Lily. I sized this one pretty small. Like many of the cuffs in this collection, it measures seven inches from snap to snap.
