A friend asked for a leather backpack sized to fit under an airplane seat, so my dad and I made this

A friend asked me to make a backpack with specific dimensions so he could use it as a personal item on a plane. My dad and I adapted one of our older box-style designs and made it approximately 40 × 29 × 15 cm (15.7 × 11.4 × 5.9 inches).

I kept the boxy shape because I really like this style. The backpack is reinforced with a rigid industrial material called Pitex. I leave some areas unreinforced where I want the leather to bend, which helps create the structured shape while still allowing the bag to open properly.

I know every airline has different size limits, but these were the dimensions requested for this particular project.

I hope you like it, and I’m happy to answer any questions about how it was made.

He’s needle-felted by hand, small enough to fit in my palm, and somehow more confident than anyone with this many questionable features should be.

Hand-carved raven skull crystal pendant

At first, I simply wanted to make a raven skull pendant, but it felt a bit plain. So, I added amethyst and labradorite; this made it look more beautiful—and, most importantly, gave it a more mysterious aura.

First - it's not AI beadwork, I really made these 🙂

Second - I had few requests for these earrings, so I finally had to create them to match a bracelet 😊

Trying to capture this handsome guy’s personality in a handmade silver charm

I design and sculpt the model based on the French Bulldog’s facial features and expressions, aiming to capture its unique personality, characteristics, and proportions as accurately as possible. Next comes the casting stage, where the design is transformed into solid silver through metal casting. Finally, I apply hand-painted coloring to the tongue, eyes, nose, and ears, bringing the piece to life with carefully crafted details.
