MEET THE MAKER

Chris Gonzalez

Hi there! As someone who has a deep love for storytelling with a background in sound mixing for movies I wanted a creative outlet that allowed for something more tangible. In the same way I craft soundscapes to tell stories I shifted towards leather and my first project was inspired by Lord of the Rings (cause duh) and I made a little eleven pouch with a leaf top. It was quite rough of a finished product but then when I took some time with some friends to photograph it I got to appreciate it in a whole new way. All of the flaws and imperfections are what made it so unique and one of a kind. 

Now I spend my time crafting a variety of leather items from whimsical dice boxes and renn faire like belt pouches to LGBTQIA+ keychains and bracelets. There’s something for everyone to tell their story or being a new journey.

If you want to see what I’ve been working on feel free to check out my gallery page or my Youtube series where I combine ASMR with leatherwork.
