Leather Purse

I made this many years ago for my wife.  The leather is cow hide and very soft brown.  I hand stitched the seams with leather cord that I made from the same leather.  I also handmade the brass findings and buckle for the strap.  If you look at the two dots on the front bottom part, that is where I made it close with leather loops going over some coconut shell buttons.  This bag is not lined, but I plan on lining my bags in the future. The best thing about the leather is that it's thickand will last a lifetime or two if it's taken care of. 

Diamond Ring

I made this ring in CAD software called Matrix and rendered it in V-ray.  I was just playing around to see if I could get some good looking wood textures to render nicely with the ring. 

Gourd Canteen

This gourd canteen is a small one.  I made leather straps and have a yucca cork for it.  I love gourd canteens for the great way it keeps water cool in the summer.  I never have to drink hot water with these.  Every gourd had a different flavor to no flavor, but you get use to it.  I love to use gourd canteens.  You just have to prove you can use one without breaking it on a camp out. 

Yucca Flute

I made this yucca flute from a yucca plant.  I used soapstone as the piece on top and leather to carry it around with.  I also wood burned some cool patterns around the end of it.  The flute plays nicely and I always use it when I go camping.

Corrugated Cooking Pot

I made this corrugated cooking pot years ago.  I use it to cook in when I go camping.  Works so well I would hate if it ever broke.  It was made by hand and fired in a campfire. 

Ring concept

Concept of a ring.  Made in CAD and I would probably make this in white gold if I were to make it.  Fits a 1ct round center stone. 

Lion Ring

This ring I made in Zbrush and Matrix.  I've never physically made this ring yet, but I will at some point.  It may be top heavy, but you'll know it's on your finger.  lol

Owl

This owl concept is not my idea.  There was a sketch online that an artist had made and I was asked to turn it into 3D.  So I did and then rendered it with a foresty feel to it.  Made in Zbrush and rendered in Zbrush. 

Soccer

I rendered this soccer ball inside V-ray for Rhino.  It was a fun learning project on placing texture maps all over the ball in the right places. 

Choker

This choker I made and sold a while back. It is made with bone hairpipe beads and brass beads.  I added elk commercial tanned leather to the ends.  The choker was strung with real sinew cordage that I made. 

Lion Face

This was a practice sculpt of a lion head.  I was also practicing making and rendering hair in Zbrush.  It was just a fun practice project. 

SeaHorse

A seahorse I made in Zbrush and rendered in v-ray. 

Clay Canteen

I also made this coil pot canteen out of clay.  I fired it in a campfire and then made a cork from yucca.  The leather straps hold it and I made yucca cordage for decore around the top part.  The paint was also all natural.  It's heavy and does not carry a lot of water, but works very well.  :)

Crest

This family crest was made in CAD.  I used two programs for this - Matrix and Zbrush.
