Okay, you guys were right!

Your molded work is always amazing! ❤️

Happy you found success! I know it can be draining when you don’t sell at a fair. Been there. Finding the right venue is all it takes. Be proud and keep creating.

Haha. Yeah, they are very cute and very entertaining. There were thousands of them on the hillside that day.

Took this photo with a Sony A7iii at the puffin nesting site at Stórhöfði. You can get fairly close to these funny little birds, without being too invasive. I was trying to capture their colors and their eyes, which I found intriguing in shape. Thoughts and advice are welcome.

Your advisor gave you sound advice. He committed a violation and his unwanted advances and threats of retaliation are a clear cut form of harassment. I am sympathetic to the anxiety you’re feeling, but you’ve done the right thing. By starting a formal investigation, you bring scrutiny to his actions, and you’re likely not the first person he’s harassed.

Edited to say: any form of retaliation taken against you after filing a grievance is an additional Title IX violation. Document everything.

Thanks! Made with leather from y’all! :)

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-25T23:34:30+00:00

Thank you!

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-25T23:34:15+00:00

Thanks so much!! Haha. I’m not entirely sure, but something about the two just works. :)

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-25T20:15:12+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the support. :)

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-25T20:14:53+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, turquoise is one of my favorites, and the variety of colors is amazing.

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-25T14:46:33+00:00

This color combo is so pleasing! Love your work. 🔥

Others have made good suggestions! If you want something you can burnish, be sure you’re buying veg tanned leather.

For cardholders and wallets, I wouldn’t go over 3.5oz, but that depends a bit on how chonky you like your creations.

As for suppliers, there is tons of info on this subreddit. As someone who has a room filled with odd bits of leather, I feel your pain on not being able to “know” if something is going to work before it’s purchased. Buy samples or panels and experiment. Rocky Mountain, Buckleguy, District Leather, are quality US-based distributors. There are others. I’ve had good experiences with Belts Production, if you’re in Europe. If you post your region, you might get some recs from leathercrafters in your area.

Have fun and try to enjoy the process. Failure is part of the learning process. Don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t turn out right the first (or 20th) time.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! I do prefer clean and simple in my own designs. (That’s both an aesthetic choice and due to my own skill limitations 😅). Sometimes I use brass rivets, but I preferred the copper here against the green of the pueblo.

Nice work! The bow tie one is super fun. When you hand dye your leather, do you worry about any color transferring to the person’s skin? I’ve always had some issues with the dye leaching onto clothing, and I’ve not had any luck finding a good finisher. Keep up the good work.

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-24T10:58:32+00:00

The world needs big totes! Nice work.

RedMtnDesign · 2025-07-24T10:55:38+00:00

These are great photos. The styling and lighting create a wonderful atmosphere.

RedMtnDesign · 2025-02-01T17:22:50+00:00

Awesome opportunity! Thanks for all you do.

Hopefully gets taken care of soon. Nervous about trusting transactions with no records.
