Restocked Etsy Store

I'm currently not accepting custom work/commissions.

Back in 2007-2008 I maintained an Etsy store to make some spare cash while I was in school. For several years now I've had my store shut and have been making custom, one-off pieces. To prepare for this holiday season however, I've decided to make an assortment of small leather goods to restock my store with. I have already submitted these items to my dA gallery and will be stocking my Etsy store WEERD WORKS as I have time. As of writing this journal, so far I have been spending my weekends taking photo's and editing them (took several photo's of every wallet and bottle sling and edited them today) so I haven't had time to start posting into my etsy shop. Other things need to be brought up to date, as well.

So keep an eye open in the shop through out the next week or two while I take the time to post work.

On a side note, when I'm not working on my computer at home I've been rebuilding my Singer 96-10 high speed industrial sewing machine. I'm still debating on how much of a restoration job I want to do... I do plan on taking everything off the main body of the machine and cleaning it and every piece thoroughly. Then it's just deciding if simply clean and well tuned is how I want it. Since I'm taking it completely apart I've also considered the idea of repainting the body, adding new gold decals and even etching a floral patten in the faceplate. Surely it would be handsome when done, but I wont' be able to paint until the weather warms up and I'm not convinced it would be worth all the effort... unless I can get a couple spare parts to make it properly solid again.

Cheers all,
Mark van Weerd
