Project: Laser cut leather stitched masks

Leather is an awesome material because it's dimensionally stable and easy to work like wood, but malleable like fabric. I designed and stitched some masks using veg-tanned tooling leather. A classic plague mask and this ornate little deer with carved wooden antlers.

That's probably enough spamming the timeline for now. I'll add stuff later if I find anything vaguely worth sharing. Some of this stuff is on my Instagram which I never use anymore but never got a proper write-up.

Hope you were inspired!
