Leather Love
Heaven Cannot Wait
The Heaven Halter is one of my very first designs that I made using leather as my medium. And it was actually an accident! I'm chuckling as I write this because I'm getting flashbacks of just how this design came about. The first couple of prototypes B.O.M.B.E.D. There was a time crunch.
