Hey, i'm Christine!

I've been a game artist for the better part of seven years and have loved every second of it. At the same time, i've always been fascinated by the traditional arts. Inspired by games, film, culture and history around the world, I took up a fascination with leathercraft after many years of seeing carved leather armour in fantasy films, as well as antique suitcases and shoes in real life.

Naturally, I gravitated towards it, teaching myself the historical craft of leather tooling, embossing, moulding, painting and sewing. I mish-mashed my skills as an illustrator in to leathercraft. What you can find in Cleathercrafts is a culmination of all my experience and fantastical ideas.

"Cleathercrafts" is simply "C" from my name, and "Leathercrafts" from well...exactly as it is! It's plural because I offer more than one kind of craft in my store. I've always been an avid sewist alongside an artist and have explored tailoring, dress and shirtmaking.

With the opening of my first flagship store and live studio, I hope you'll enjoy my work and perhaps become a collector of it for yourself. Come visit me when you're next in the village!

Thank you for following my work.
