Fall Fest 2014

The Abington Art Center in Jenkintown P.A had it's 2nd Annual Fall Festival yesterday. I was one of the artists in attendance. As luck would have it my table #12  was put next to my friend Aly's table. She is very talented ceramicist. I didn't have much of an opportunity to explore the sights... But it seemed like all who attended had a great time. My experience was a good one! I met some nice people, sold some things, and (hopefully) set up some more work for myself. I'm looking forward to next year's event!

Kayla's Leash

 An 8' long pink & purple paracord leash! 550lb cord was used for all. The core braid is a simple triple braid with cobrastitch wrapped handles. There's an additional handle closer to dog for added control. The leash is long enough to used as a trainer, or as a camping / backyard tie out. It's also long enough to sling from waist to shoulder to free your hands up. The leash can be double onto itself to become a more convenientional lentgh .

 My friend Michele asked me to make this leash for this fluffy Lil' monster! Kayla!

the best dog collar ever!

I have the week off, and have Mack for a house guest. I made him a paracord dog collar a little over a year ago. It was my first attempt at such things... But it needed to be updated.....
The grey & teal, is the updated better version. The yellow & grey is was the prototype.

New

Old

Old

New!

Happy accident !

I started making another belt, ...it was supposed to be a man's medium (38" total length, for app.  34") belt. But I got about 3/4 of the way done, ...and ran out of cording,... The dye lot was different for the grey. So I made it shorter and gave it to Kelly!



(another) Paracord Leash

Triple braided shaft, with cobra stitched handles. 550lb paracord and a traditional steel clasp.

Paracord Dog Collar

This is for my friend Adam, well for his Dog Spike!

22"x 1-1/2" x 3/8"
550lb Grey & Purple paracord was used. A double cobra stitch in grey with the purple lacing together. A heavy duty plastic safety buckle was used with a steel fastener & steel ring.
This came out better than I had hoped!

More pics to follow with Spike in his new snazzy collar!

Like little planets caught in a wire trap

These 3 amber & brown ceramic pieces have elaborate wire wrapping holding them in place. 
These are about the size of a quarter!


This little red glass piece is one of my favorites. Thinner wire was used for a more delicate feel. About the size of a nickel!


Agate Pendant

Smoothed Agate, wrapped with thinner gauge wire, bound with (app) 24" steel chain, and wire swept clasp.
This piece is app. 2"x 1-3/4" x 3/16" 
This came out great! A very fun, chunky, summer inspired piece
