Handmade Leather Dragon Scale Panels for DIY Projects

You don't have to make every scale yourself.

My Leather Dragon Scale Panels give you a ready-to-use foundation of soft, dimensional, hand-formed leather dragon scales, machine sewn onto a matching lambskin leather backing.

These aren't tooled or stamped leather scales. Each individual scale is hand cut, hand punched, molded and formed to create a soft, sculpted, three-dimensional surface with movement and texture.

Where the Dragon Scales Began...

My Dragon Scales didn't begin as a product. They began with a commission.

A Hollywood writer commissioned me to create two custom dice bags for her sons, who were fans of Dungeons & Dragons and Game of Thrones. While developing those pieces, I created the dimensional leather scale technique that would eventually become my signature Dragon Scales.

From there, the scales evolved through a variety of custom creations, including a Dragon Scale bracer, guitar straps and other leather art, as well as a Dragon Scale pillow I created for the Etsy Design Awards.

My Dragon Scales eventually made their television debut on The CW's Legacies in Episode 8, "Long Time No See," and appeared in several episodes afterward. Costume Designer Ann Walters was the mastermind behind the costume.

Now you can incorporate my Dragon Scales into your own designs and projects without having to create every scale from scratch.

A Little More About My Dragon Scales...

I developed my Dragon Scales as a way to create a leather surface that is soft yet firm, dimensional and sculptural, rather than flat, tooled or stamped.

If you'd like to learn how I create the scales themselves, my Dragon Scales Masterclass teaches the complete technique.

Lux Leather...

I make these Dragon Scales from genuine top-grade lambskin leather because of its distinctive character, superior softness and beautiful drape.

Lambskin has a polished, sophisticated look and feel while remaining lightweight and flexible — qualities that make it particularly well suited to dimensional leather work.

Handmade to Order...

Each panel is made specifically for your order in my New Hampshire studio.

Production time: approximately 7–14 business days.
