Pancake Breakfast Y'all !

The Patriots of Pennsylvania Motorcycle Club had a Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. My good friend Mike gave me an invite

That's Mike, or ad he's better known as Snapp, and his fiance Heather in the left corner

 The food was great! Chocolate chip pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs!

 The music was pretty sweet! Classic Rock, Beatles ...

 And the people were awesome!

And, I found a home for this big fella!

(more of ) My work in it's home!

This tarantula is one of my oldest pieces. Jen, a friend of a friend, her boyfriend bought it at a recent craft faire ( A.A.C's Fall Fest) 

My good friend Michele bought this paracord bracelet at the A.A.C's Fall Fest!

My Co-Worker Randy, had me make him a "skinny" paracord bracelet

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!

I love seeing my work being put to good use

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!

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.

B E L T !

I made a flat, functional everyday wear belt!

App 44" x  1-1/4" x 1/4"

It's made from 2 pieces of 550lb black paracord. One piece is 100' ft. the 2nd piece is app 45"

With a steel buckle! It's cobra stitched for look, and for adjustability!

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
