And We're Back!

After an unexpected extended stay in Pittsburgh, Karma and Zura have returned home from Anthrocon 2017!

Thanks to everyone who came by our table to browse our goodies, get (temporary) tattooed, or chat. We had a great time as always.
For anyone who has asked for a custom commission, we will be setting up our work queue soon. Unfortunately one of our suitcases didn't make it home with us, and as it happens that one has all the commission information *rolls eyes*.

Thanks again to everyone, and see you soon!

Dusty in here...

Wow! It has been a while since we've updated here.
Karma and Zura have just returned from Confuzzled and we had a great time!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our Dealer's table to chat, browse, purchase, and say hello. We <3 you all!

While we will be fairly inactive as far as new leather goods and dealer's tables, we are still open for custom commissions. As we delve into new projects, we'll keep you updated!

Our next stop will be Anthrocon 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA. See you there!

Post-Con Report: Anthrocon 2015

Well, we're back from Anthrocon 2015!
We both had fun and had lots of visitors to our table! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and purchased or looked at our goodies and chatted with us.

Zura did quite a few Paracord commissions on-site:

She did quite a few lanyards too, but as luck would have it, forgot to take photos of any of them... Go figure...

There's a fair list of folks that we'll be getting in touch with soon for leatherwork commissions. Just gotta get over the jet-lag and get ourselves back in order. Watch your in-boxes!

Anthrocon 2015 Info

Well, it's that time of year again! Here's our info for Anthrocon 2015:

Arriving: Sunday, July 5th Departing: Tuesday, July 14th
Staying at: The Westin. We're both very curious to see how the new elevator systems handle all the traffic. Should be ... interesting.
Hanging out: Zura:Mostly at our dealer's table. Otherwise, with the usual crew.
                      Karma: A little of everywhere. Catch Zura if you need to get in touch with me right away.
Dealer info: Silverwind Studios will be at table B06/07 this year. Look for the blue tablecloths.

That's the basics! Easiest way to find me at con is to come see me at the dealer's table. Otherwise look for Karma - big guy, leather pants and black hair with red streaks.

Oh, and for anyone interested, catch Karma or FoxAmoore for details on the CD release party!

*Blows off the dust*

Yeah, we're still around!

Been super-busy with life's usual stuff, so the blog got a bit neglected. Sorry about that!

Right now we're in full swing preparations to leave for Anthrocon in just over two weeks. Our stock is nearly all prepared and packed - Can you tell we're excited to get out of here for a while? :)

This year we'll be residing at tables B06-07 for the duration of the Dealer's Den, and Sunday night we plan to invade the new burger joint in the Westin to celebrate Karmakat's birthday! Come wish him a happy one (and pick on the old(er than me) Kat) if you like.

Here's a preview of our newest goodies:

Mixed batch of Key chains, Bookmarks, Wristbands and Bottle Carriers

Belt Pouches and Mini Pouches

Wallets and Money Clips

Karmakat's new novel: "Heart Behind the Mask"

There will also be some new bracelets make by Karmakat (above), along with the rest of his published novels. 

Zura will be available to take on-site commissions for Paracord items like bracelets, key chains and lanyards.

Also... Karma has been hard at work on a CD collaboration with Fox Amoore! "We Will Be" is scheduled for release at Anthrocon 2015, and will be available at Fox Amoore's table.  "We Will Be" is inspired by many of Karmakat's stories. Listen to an excerpt here!

There are so many wonderful and different singers appearing on the CD... I don't know how Fox does it all! Check out all his work here. Seriously, you must. 

See all you fuzzies at Anthrocon!
