Wow, that is looking amazing! I cannot wait to see the final product.

This should be really scary for Halloween.

Amazing dye job. This is going to look so cool!

That does look awesome and +1 for the link to LeatherHub which I didn’t know was a thing.

Also, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a project where one can yell “why don’t you just dye!” during the build phase and “why don’t you just die!” during the execution phase, and both utterances are context-correct. I’ll make do with being amused by that until you post the completion pix.

That will be delightfully creepy. Nice work!

I have downloaded a couple of their other patterns. Both turned out pretty good.

Leather hockey mask and machete

Downloaded the pattern from https://www.leatherhubpatterns.com/ First go at this leather hockey mask. Downloaded the pattern and made some tweaks to cut it on Glowforge. I already have some variations planned in my head. Cut from proofgrade thick natural leather. [IMG-5963] [leather hockey mask2] [leather hockey mask3] [LEATHER HOCKEY MASK 1]

Leather Skull

Downloaded the pattern from https://www.leatherhubpatterns.com/ Used Glowforge to cut instead of doing it by hand. Gave it a quick go to test it out since I’m not expert in leather working or hand stitching. Will probably try again with a little thicker leather and do some detail work. Maybe scaled up a little in size. [IMG-5849] [IMG-5850] [LEATHER SKULL 1]

“why don’t you just die!” during the execution

This is always a bad time for someone.

Got the tail segments cut. Staining and stitching may take some time.

[charid.designs]

Ditto, AMAZING!

[scooterdup]

Making progress. It’s actually going smoother and quicker than I expected.

Spectacular. THIS is the reason the own a .

Thanks for sharing the link. Some great projects there.

[ca_worth]

my thought exactly!

[scooterdup]

After many distractions, I finally got around to (mostly) finishing the facehugger.
I just need to figure out how I want to attach the pieces that make it wearable as I want the pieces to be removable.

[deirdrebeth]

That looks FABULOUS

Running a ring through the stitching on inside of the ends of the legs would allow you to use lobster clasps which can come in some pretty hearty weights

[ca_worth]

swell idea lobster clasps on thing that is kinda like a lobster.

now about those elephant clasps…

[djfb]

You could put small rare earth magnets on the legs and then have surgical screws implanted for them to connect to. No unsightly straps or clasps. just kidding

[djfb]

That looks so cool. What did you decide on straps/fasteners?

[scooterdup]

Ended up using snaps on the ends of the legs.
The whole back attachment piece is part of the original pattern that I purchased/downloaded. May look at doing something different with it in the future. But at least it’s wearable for Halloween.
