# About me
Hi all!Currently living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I'd say leather crafting, for me, was a progressive thing. I started playing in LARPs during summer 2002 and soon found myself wanting to make realistic and fantasy inspired costumes that would best suit the characters that I was portraying, while always trying to keep things as authentic as possible. Like most LARPers, I started by making boffer swords from tape and foam (quite ugly) and sewing together random costume pieces without using any patterns (usually ended up crooked as well). As I got older and more experienced in this world of roleplay, I found myself wanting to be like the big boys and wear really nice armors. However buying armors, I found out, was quite expensive. I then spent a couple of years, on and off, researching how to work leather. And finally, well, I've been working leather since 2007.
I am no pro. It's a constant learning curve. However the items in the pictures are my intellectual property and I would appreciate if people did not reproduce them without my permission. So please just ask first.
I now have an Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/peacefulmynd (Currently being restocked)
