Leather Love

2 Souls ~ Friendship that transcends time, travel, tribe, color, age & religion ~ Love in its purest form.

I was madly in love.
The head over heels kind of romantic love that fills one's soul with excitement and extreme, "I can't live without you" joy.

I wanted to give my love something he could wear so that when I was not near, it would remind him of my love and devotion to him, and us. What better than a ring?

I made him one.
I made myself a matching one and...

One of the designs I am most proud of is my Amari Braided Leather Bracelet. It really is a simple design - no bells and whistles, or bling-bling. A sleek, sexy, hand-braided leather strap hand crafted from the softest leathers; deerskin. What sets this bracelet apart from just about everything I have seen, is its end cap construction. The end caps are beyond durable. Take a look at the video below.  

A customer of mine emailed me to ask if there was a way to remove makeup from her Kimani Deerskin Tassel Earrings. She sent me photos of them, each earring had a buildup of foundation and bronzer.

In this video, I test out a few options for removing the makeup from a piece of matching Mayonnaise color Deerskin Leather. Check it out to see which method worked the best!

You may be wondering what three vintage keys from France have to do with abundance unless they are responsible for unlocking a door that is housing something of value. Well, I suppose there is some truth to that. I will explain.

I purchased these vintage keys from a shop on Etsy a while back. If you are a follower of any of my Facebook pages, blogs, or any of my social media accounts then you may actually remember reading about this...

I arrived this morning to my humble leather-working abode feeling a wee bit crazed - in a fun way.  So, I decided to pull out the smart phone and take some pix of another wacky outfit (especially my 1980's vintage shoes!) and my leather accessories.

When I sat to go through all the photos, I saw my story unfold through the lens. The joyous and bubbly side of me is apparent in the beginning shots but toward the end, I see someone different - a more mature woman who has endured and overcome.
