Description
Wow, this is the biggest batch of keychains yet! I made these for Anthrocon, and only a few sold, so here they are in all their leathery goodness.I thought it would be a waste to upload each individual one, so I put them all together to photograph.
They're also available individually in my Etsy shop: [link]

Aw man! These didn't sell out? I thought for sure they would! But, I think this year we (dealers and AA a like) was saturated with 'cool merch' and not enough of it went. I know I sold very few things other than commissions!
These are worth every penny you ask for them, and more!

I was surprised they didn't sell too! I even marked them down on Sunday but I only sold a few. Oh well - it seems plenty of people online want them, since a bunch of them have sold since I put this journal up.
And yeah, commissions were the bulk of my sales in artist's alley, oddly enough. At least I know what to prepare for next year.

Great!
I definitely will commission you, at least once, if not more, but I'll have to wait till I get back to making my normal amount of money. XD
I'll slide a note your way when I'm ready, thanks!

Arg fffffffff I love the raven one but the money I'd need to buy it is in cash and it's Sunday. 8(
The peregrine is also ridiculously beautifully painted.

Ah, sorry! And it just sold today. I can remake any design, though, so if you really want one, just let me know.

Oh wow these are really great! How do you make "Indentions" on leather?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
windfalcon In reply to Kerpow [2010-07-11 22:02:06 +0000 UTC]
By 'tooling' - I use a swivel blade to make the 'lines' and various beveling tools with a mallet to push the leather in and create a three-dimensional surface.

Kerpow In reply to windfalcon [2010-07-14 06:28:55 +0000 UTC]
Wow That is so neat!
I've been getting into a lot of new things recently (jewelry making, plush toys).
I saw some leather at hobby lobby today and I was really tempted to get it, but I need to look up how it all works before I go doing something crazy. Hahaha.

I love the little falcon up top and the blue eyed gryphon in the last row. These are all so cuute Wish I could've seen what the ones that sold looked like!

windfalcon In reply to themuseslibrary [2010-07-11 21:15:44 +0000 UTC]
I'm trying to remember which ones they were I should have taken photos before I left but I was in too much of a hurry. I remember one of the lions sold, and both the wolves. I think a gryphon sold, too, and a diving falcon.

I would've loved to have seen one of the wolves. They sounded cool.

I do! I make custom design keychains for an extra charge, and I also do custom colors on existing designs for no extra charge.
