Leather Keychains 1

When I make masks, I end up with leather scraps. I don't like to waste, so I figured I'd try to make some pretty little things out of the leftover leather. These three keychains are hand cut and shaped out of 7-oz leather, painted with acrylics, and coated with lots of layers of acrylic varnish. The idea is that if they're protected by varnish, they'll remain safe even as they're thrown in a bag or tossed around. :D

I usually don't do a lot of 'cute' stuff, but the baby gryphon even made me go 'd'awwww.' My big, macho friend said "that gryphon is making my teeth hurt." I took it as a compliment.

These are also available on Etsy if anyone's interested:

EDIT: Whoa, those went quick! I'll make more, don't worry!
