My front door has been replaced with a new one. This one has a lock that will hopefully allow me to actually lock the front door in the winter (fingers crossed!). In order to celebrate that event, I needed to get some new keys for the new lock. Then I had to distribute those keys to people who have a spare key of mine. Since a key by itself is just boring, I played around with some leather and created some critters to hang on the keyrings, at the start of October.
First got some pinterest inspiration and based my animals on these: cat, elephant, llama. So the finished products don’t necessarily look like the inspirations, but I guess that’s fine. For the llama, I didn’t stitch the sides together because my leather was too thick. For the cats, I added a tail and a ribbon loop. So now the cats have a nose and a butthole at the same time. The elephant is very similar but the stitching is closer together. Anyway, here they are!
I like them, and I might make a few more of these things, because I enjoy playing around with knives, leather, hammers and rivets.
