haha I wish I could make leather stuffs. So far, it's only been bracelets.
Anyway, I really like watching leather age. :) Here's an overall shot of everything.
With the exception of the notebook cover, which was made by my friend, I made the rest of the stuff.
What started out as a wrap bracelet turned into a necklace for my KillboX pendant.
hehe! The 'mooshi' bracelet is aging quite well. That's the newer version of the cuff for the SF Molle Clip. The one in the first picture didn't have snaps.
Most recent bracelet was made for Cornholio. :) Dark grey leather.
I wanted a 'roo scrotum pouch. But without the 'roo scrotum. haha! :) And being someone who likes to DIY, I messed around with leather remnants and made this:
The tools. :) Chocolate gelt was the inspiration.
The final product. :) It's a little crude, but I like it. I put the lace through the lobster claw clip so that it could attach easily attach to a belt loop. The purple cow is a bead I made out of polymer clay a couple of months ago. It was supposed to be used as a stopper bead, but the hole wasn't big enough to accommodate both strands of leather lace. I'll need to make a bigger one some time.

It's gonna hold all my gelt.

Wow, nice work Mooshi!
And as a male, I appreciate your restraint in not sending off a mate to have his scrotum removed.
Made a couple more. :) I really like the 2-tone one. I need more beads. They look funny and don't cinch properly without a stopper.
Switched to paracord 'cause it didn't have as much friction as the leather lace.
I decided to keep in it a mooshbot token, a small packet of Canel's gum, and enough change to make anything between $0.01 and $0.99 (3 quarters, 1 dime, 2 nickels, 4 pennies).

I've been meaning to borrow your cuff idea and make my own, but haven't had much luck sourcing any leather locally. Should be headed towards Minneapolis next week, I'll have to try my luck in a bigger city.
