Adjustable Bracelets!

Karma has begun creating a new type of bracelets - Adjustable!
Our previous bracelets have been simple snap closures, which didn't fit everyone. We had to take custom measurements to get the size just right... No more! By using grommets and lacing, we can make your bracelet adjustable, even large enough to wear with costumes.

Here you see the lacing and grommet closure:


And here is the first batch he's made:

*Out of this batch, only #4 (Otter) and #8 (Tiger) are not already sold or reserved. 
The designs are:
Sabre-tooth Tiger, Wolf, Pawprints, Otter, Wolf, Lion with Pawprints, Lion, Tiger

He's looking forward to creating new designs for this model!

Meanwhile, Zura has a few things cooking in the background too...
Here we have a modified Kindle cover. This cover was NOT created by us, but modified per customer request. The tiger was carved from a 2oz piece of leather (super thin!), dyed to match the cover and attached using leather-bond glue. I was told that the recipient squealed when she received it! Yay!

We will be looking into making e-reader covers in the future, Zura will be working on the new models after New Year's!

Thanks for stopping by, and we'll see you soon!

Off to Eurofurence 18!

It's Road Trip Time!

The car is all packed, and tomorrow (way too) bright and early, Karma and Zura will be off to Germany! We'll be arriving in Magdeburg sometime Tuesday morning with a car full of luggage in tow... *looks at Karma*
One or both of us will be in the Dealer's den, Salon Dresden (AKA Temple of Bacchus), facing the door. Look for our banner across the front of the table. We will have remaining stock from previous conventions along with some new goodies!

*Some items here are not fully completed. The two piece book covers and the belt pouches have yet to be laced in these photos. They'll be finished in time for the Dealer's Den (unless Zura's fingers fall off first)!

We're Back!

Just a quick update... We've arrived safely home from Anthrocon. Thanks to everyone who stopped by at our dealer's table and said hello! We both had a blast catching up with friends, both old and new. Several people had awesome suggestions for new products, and we'll probably be doing a little experimenting this fall.

Right now we're restocking our supplies and getting ready for EuroFurence, which is at the end of August. In the coming week or so (while Zura's sprained ankle heals up), we'll be organizing the commissions we received at AC along with any others that come in and washing lots of laundry! :)

Silverwind Studios at Anthrocon

Zura and Karmakat will be at Anthrocon 2012! We will have a Dealer's Den table, and Karmakat will have several pieces in the Art Show next door. Here's a preview of our Dealer's table stock:


Between the two of us, we'll have about 150 pieces for sale, and we'll also be taking commissions for after the con (since leather working tools are just a *bit* difficult to bring with us). If we don't run out of time, we may have some finished examples of commission work, or at the minimum pictures will be available! We will also have prints available from Karmakat, along with a copy of his portfolio for perusal.

Come visit us at table L-14, one or both of us will be there while the Den is open! Don't forget to take a peek at Karmakat's panel in the Art Show, General section!
