What have you designed today?

masquerade submission (potential spoiler):

an elaborate mask of feathers and spider-silk

An elaborate mask lies here, shimmering with dark iridescence.

This sinister confection of sable feathers and arachnid styling offers playful menace as it transforms its wearer: a mystery sewn in silver thread. Cobalt gemstones encircle the eyes, glittering and grotesque, perched beneath six azure copies that evoke the compound stare of a Mhaldorian predator. Shimmering with dark iridescence, a flight of charcoal feathers back from the face, cropped close to the skull and mounted on a delicate frame of polished ivory. Natural adhesives secure this mask in place, held aloft absent obvious supports from strap or buckle. Sharp reminders grace the cheekbones, threatening to press home this venomous deception with a final flourish: two wee mandibles.

It's a lovely design, @Herenicus!

I think this sentence: "Shimmering with dark iridescence, a flight of charcoal feathers back from the face, cropped close to the skull and mounted on a delicate frame of polished ivory." is incomplete. Adding something between 'feathers' and 'back', sweep/fall/stream might work there.

Herenicus

"feathers" is being used as a tricksy verb, if that matters.

edit: still don't particularly like seeing a word appear twice in the desc. I'd rather keep the verb. Will consider changes.

Edit2: Let's just kill the first appearance of the word altogether and chalk one up for word economy and the bad guys.

Melodie

Hahaha mandibles.

Paging @Xinna, too gud. Well done Herenicus.

Ahah! I'm with you now.

Two pieces I designed the descs for without crafting. I don't have names for them, as I left those up to whoever I gave the descs to. The veil is my personal favorite.

Blissfully uncomplicated, yet visually stunning, this bridal accessory is designed to accent the brides appearance. Crafted from silvery lavender tulle, the two tier veil starts shorter in the front and tapers back into a stunning cascade of waves that ends at the elbows. The edges of both layers are finished with a continuous strip of lilac ribbon. The top layer of the veil can be worn over the face, simultaneously shrouding the bride in a delicate mystery. Two unblemished hair pins, on either side, holds up the main portion of the veil and attaches itself securely to the wearers hair with a tiny comb. Each pin has been fashioned into a pristine crystal fleur-de-lis on a shiny silver plated setting, offering a touch of luxury to an otherwise unassuming piece.

Entrenched in the warm hues of the forest, this notably enormous shield has been constructed entirely from hearty oak. Resembling a tower shield, it features a concaved shape that curves subtly around the holder in order to defend as much of the upper and lower body as possible. Discernible wooden slats, marred with gouges, run vertically along the face of the shield, its outer edge is accented with hand hammered antique brass trim. Intricate bas-relief cutwork ornaments the center; their numerous grooves form the silhouette of a charging bear inlaid with cognac gold and lusty carmine, accentuating the woodwork with a dazzling array of the dawn. With its teeth bared and claws drawn, the symbol is emblematic of grounding forces and strength, rousing the warrior to have courage against adversity.  A delicate rubescent stained foliate motif interspersed with leaves of verdant green crystal wreathes the border surround. The rear inside is fully lined, to increase durability, and features a steel hand hold, center mounted upon wood bracing stretched the length of the shield.

Tillie

Too excited to tailor things. Since I am vain and spend too much time in video games deciding on appearance/clothes, I find it ironic that I am tailor with a character that couldn't give two shits what she's wearing.

THUS. PONCHO.

Appearance:

a worn, woolen poncho of dark and dusty hues

 

Dropped:

A poncho that has seen better days has been discarded here.

 

Examined:

Though threadbare in appearance, this poncho is actually made of curiously durable wool, roughly-hewn and warm to the touch. It has been dyed in splashes of black, blue and silver, though most of the color has faded out to a stormy grey. The fabric drapes heavily over the wearer's shoulders, concealing the arms and tapering off into a triangular shape just over the knees. A cavernous hood has been fashioned out of the gathered material along the back of the poncho, shaped by a cord of tightly woven wool and enabling the wearer to adjust how closely the hood sits around the face.

Getting my Clint Eastwood on.

I love to write - but I am pretty sure there are tons of things wrong with this. I tried reaull gud though. I hope my mandolin gets customized like this:

Appearance:

an elegantly simple mandolin of moon-kissed wood

 

Dropped:

a pale mandolin lies here, glimmering with natural luminescence.

 

Examined:

A rare, frozen ash tree from the glade of Three Moons has been expertly carved into the traditional pear-shaped mandolin, polished to an iridescent sheen. The keys and strings are a glistening silver, cool and liquid smooth to the touch, awaiting deft hands to tune and pluck their bright music into being. Ornate frills and curls do no taint this instrument. Instead, the natural flecks of crystalline ash found in the wood give the instrument a glimmer of subtle, but awe-inspiring beauty. A simple slab of jet black stone frames the hollow hole in its center, rounding out the melodies to be reverberated through its lissome, hollow body.

Tristyn

That is the same as me, Tillie. Tris is a jeweller, but she doesn't care much for wearing anything flashy except for the brooch she got at graduation.

Kitiara

I like to keep it simple. (spoilers)

Appearance:

a menacing steel mask

Dropped Description:

A menacing steel mask lies on the floor.

Description:

This blackened steel mask is tightly moulded around the face of the wearer. The eyebrows are pulled down and together into a frozen state of menace above the deep shadowed sockets. This mask is crafted with precise detail of bumps and uneven grooves that give an illusion of popping veins. A restricted respirator-like muzzle pushes forward from the bridge of the nose down to the base of the jaw with only five thin long vertical slits to barely allow the wearer to breathe. The sharp angles and deep lines give both depth and shadow, creating an overall sinister appearance.

Skye

I've decided to sit down and work on customising what few arties I have haha. Fear my horribly unverbose descriptions. 

Haven't submitted these yet:

Diadem

Short: a twisted bronze diadem

Drop: A twisted bronze diadem has been left behind.

Ex: This twisted circle of cast bronze sits neatly around the wearer's head with only the faintest hint of patina on its rounded edges. Its only embellishment is the thin ribbon of dark cyan silk that winds its way along the groove, looping in elegant knots that secure the diadem to the wearer's hair. 

Will Amulet

Short: a polished driftwood amulet

Drop: A polished driftwood amulet lies here, its nacre inlay glowing with inner luminescence.

Ex: Cut crosswise from piece of salt-bleached driftwood to preserve its natural shape, this amulet has been polished to a fine sheen and inlaid with a panel of abalone nacre. The lustreous shades of blues, blacks and greens gleam preturnaturally with some blessed enchantment, creating an impression of mesmerising depth that goes far deeper than mere optical illusion. 

I'd also like to do my shield, but I'm not too good with those. so if possible I'd like to see more samples. 

Jurixe

No issues with either of those except that it's 'lustrous' and 'preternaturally'. Maybe I"ll get around to doing mine someday!

Skye

that's what I get for doing them half asleep. Good thing I have @Jurixe to proofread for me

Skye

I've been dreaming about making this since cooking first came out :,)

Short: a plate bearing one chocolate-coated pepper
Dropped: Tempting the daring, a single chocolate-coated pepper sits here on a plate.
Ex: A single chilli pepper, its bulging teardrop-shape twisted and mottled, has been coated in a thin layer of sweet milk chocolate. Only a hint of bright red peeps from the green base of the fruit like a warning of the danger beneath. It sits alone and unadorned on a pristine white porcelain plate, daring the brave or perhaps reckless.
1st: Bracing yourself, you tentatively lift the pepper by its stem and eat it in one bite. The milky sweet chocolate layer soon gives way to a burning agony that overrides your sense of taste and lingers long after you manage to swallow.
3rd: With great daring and perhaps some trepidation, Daslin puts an entire chocolate-coated pepper in his mouth.
A plate bearing one chocolate-coated pepper tastes deceptively mild. like Suffering.
A plate bearing one chocolate-coated pepper smells like a bad idea.

They wouldn't let me keep the taste description lol. But I'm happy that they let me keep the smell one. 

Bluef

Anyone who has interacted with Bluef during her days as a Spirit Walker or the Seeress of the Curia will know that her spirit name is Two Feathers. Anyway, her spirit guide has always been a heron, who has in the past gifted her with some of his feathers for use in ritual, to create a ceremonial headdress, etc. Here's the next creation I'll be making to further maintain her shamaness identity (aural earring):

an ethereal earring of heron feathers

Hints of blue and grey flutter along an ethereal earring of heron feathers.

Empyreal heron feathers splay into delicate flocculence along this ethereal earring. Deep blues and soft greys mingle, flaring out along an ebon shaft that shimmers with otherworldly lustre. Fluttering silently, the two iridescent feathers sway languidly in the breeze, suspended from a whisper-thin annulet of pale bone.

Lala

Lala's most recent outfit.

Appearance (short_desc)

a mini scarlet-striped velvet and satin top hat

Dropped (long_desc)

A miniature black satin top hat with red velvet stripes lies toppled here.

Examined (extended_desc)

The miniature version of the stove-top style hat, the quintessentially male design has 

been brazenly feminised. Dainty and meant to perch at a rakish angle upon the feminine 

head, this delicate hat is made mostly of glossy black satin. Scarlet velvet stripes the 

middle section of the hat and limns the brim, creating a flashy contrast between the two 

glitzy colours, and a touchable, mat texture against the lustrous satin. On the side 

tipped toward the wearer's face, a large and glossy black ribbon, decorated with raven 

feathers, has been curled into an extravagant bow. Both ribbon tails and feathery plumes 

swoop over the hat's brim in a dramatic flourish. A gold hatpin topped with a rainbow-

coloured music note keeps the ribbon in place.

Appearance (short_desc)

a beaded scarlet and black satin corset

Dropped (long_desc)

Intricate beading sparkles on a scarlet and black satin corset cast aside here.

Examined (extended_desc)

Meant to whittle the feminine form into an exaggerated hourglass silhouette, this 

provocative corset comes complete with boning reinforced by unyielding Dwarven steel. The 

severity of the corset's fit is complemented by the vivid sheen of blood-red satin, and 

glossy, obsidian glass beads which glisten like shadowy dew upon the rose-hued field. The 

intricate bead work creates an abstract, floral and vine-like design over the entirety of 

the corset, leaving voids of scarlet satin visible around, and through, the beading. 

Trimmed in sable-coloured ribbon at the immodest, sweet-heart bodice and hemline, the same 

silky material has been utilised for the lacing. At the back of the corset, two leather 

panels, covered in crimson canvas and riveted with gold grommets, ensure that once the 

corset is laced and tied tight, there is no mercy given to the flesh beneath. Stitched 

upon an interior seam is a rainbow-coloured music note.

Appearance (short_desc)

a dramatic scarlet satin and lace bustle skirt

Dropped (long_desc)

A resplendent satin bustle skirt is folded here.

Examined (extended_desc)

A luxurious swathe of decadent crimson and black satin, adorned with scalloped black lace, 

forms the foundation of this dramatic-looking skirt. At the back of the frilly garment, a 

gathered, ruffled bustle is bumped over the wearer's bottom, creating an exaggerated curve,

 and causing the satin to cascade from the black, ribbon-style waist in a wash of lush, 

resplendent fabric. Composed of three alternating tiers, beginning and ending with red, 

the satiny ruffles are trimmed by delicate, antiquated lace. Hi-lo in style, the back of 

the skirt is long enough to brush the wearer's ankles, while the front is reminiscent of a 

mini skirt, the daring hemline barely shadowing the upper thighs. Discreetly stitched to 

an inner seam is a rainbow-coloured music note.


And new sandals cause I couldn't figue out what colour I wanted. So both!

Appearance (short_desc)

silvery crystal-encrusted wraparound sandals

Dropped (long_desc)

A pair of crystal-encrusted wraparound sandals lie here.

Examined (extended_desc)
 Glamorous and exotically stylish, these open toed sandals are made 

of supple leather dyed a shimmering metallic silver. The leather offers a sturdy 

foundation for the crystal-encrusted leaves which dominate the entirety of these sandals. 

As a focal point drawing attention to the foot, and beginning in a thin floral flourish 

above the big toe, the faceted crystals sprawl across the foot until ending in a wide 

faceted, vine-like cage around the little toe. The stylised crystal edges the rim of the 

sandal, meeting the joint at the back of the heel, and twisting up the ankle like a plant 

seeking sunlight. The thick leaves circle thrice around the calf, banding the flesh in a 

crystalline tendril. Each movement captures the lowest light, reflecting a prism of fiery 

colour against the wearer's skin. The sole of these sandals provides incredible height, 

boosting the wearer four and a half inches taller; the silvery heel tapering into a wicked 

stiletto point. Carved onto the bottom is a rainbow-coloured music note.

Appearance (short_desc)

a glitzy pair of gold leather wraparound sandals

Dropped (long_desc)

A pair of golden leather wraparound sandals is here.

Examined (extended_desc)

Stylish and and trendy, these open toed sandals are made of supple El'Jaziran leather dyed 

a resplendent metallic gold. The gilded hue is intricately dotted with delicate 

rhinestones, studding the thin leather straps that fold over the foot above the exposed 

toes, and banding the midsection of the foot in a glittering emrace. A half strap cinches 

the ankle, and twists like a strappy golden spring up the limb, ending in a snug, lizard-

like coil around the calf. Shaped like a scaled golden dragon tail, the strap ends in a 

tapered grip just below the knee. The unique wraparound style offers large swathes of 

flesh braced by the embellished straps, each minute shift of the leg and step captures 

even the lowest light, reflecting a bedazzling prism of fiery colour against the wearer's 

flesh. The sole of these sandals provides incredible height, boosting the wearer four and 

a half inches taller; the gilt heel tapering into a sultry stiletto point. Carved onto the 

sandals' bottom, almost hidden by the shadow between the heel and sole, is a rainbow-

coloured music note.

Kyrra

@Lala's probably my favourite designer since Amunet went dormant. So many pretty awesome designs.

Kitiara

If you made something and already went through the submission process and got a pattern is it possible to add the hood feature if it was forgotten?

Melodie

You could probably either typo it, or issue me about it, and request it. Admin are pretty good about that sort of thing.

Kyrra

I redesigned my crit pendent recently and have been pondering what to do with my Medallion of Enchantments. I'm really pleased with how these turned out.

a pendant of crystallised hail on a silver ribbon

A length of silver ribbon holds a delicate pendant of crystallised hail.

A remnant left as a reminder of the destructive fury of a thunderstorm, this fractured shard of ice 

has broken away from a much larger piece of spherical hail. Barely spanning a finger's length, the 

crystalline structure appears delicate and tapers from a solid base to a narrow, jagged point. A 

thread of silver coils from the base of the shard before forming an elegant loop shaped into a small 

ball of ice, a tiny hugalaz rune, whose power prevents the ice from melting. A long length of silver 

ribbon has been threaded through silver wire, allowing the pendant to be worn at an adjustable 

length. Tiny facets within the ice capture and reflect pinpoints of light to create a motion of 

constant sparkle.

an exquisite stormbird crest medallion

A pool of silver chain surrounds an exquisitely crafted medallion.

A disc of fine silver forms the base of this exquisitely crafted medallion, sourced from the depths 

of Moghedu's purest ores and polished to a lustrous gleam. The focal point is a beautiful rendering 

of a stormbird, meticulously carved from black tourmaline with such intricate detail that its 

features are easily defined upon close inspection. A small trillion-cut ruby sits in place of the 

bird's eye, the brilliant facets bestowing an inner fire that gives authenticity to the crimson-eyed 

avian. A bevelled edge surrounds the rim of the medallion, with tiny runes etched into the surface. 

Attached to the top of the disc is a loop in the form of a silver talon, allowing the medallion to 

hang from a diamond cut silver chain.

Tristyn

A design I did for an overworked merchant, no appearance or dropped for this one. Left that up to her. 

Crafted as an emblem of long term affection, the long, sinewy forms of two serpentine beasts embrace one another in the silhouette of a heart. With their heads meeting at the centre, the dragons, one plated in silver and the other gold, arch their bodies outwards while their tails are left intricately intertwined at the tip. Strategic engravings highlight each scale of these creatures, while a number of ridges run down their spines. Adorning the narrow complexion of the bestial faces, are two crystals that are meticulously fit into their heavy lidded eyes. The crystals, polished to a lustrous gleam, are rendered in exquisite hues, emerald for the gold dragon and sapphire for the silver, and suggest astuteness entombed in the sparkling facets. A blazing fire, constructed from a vivacious ruby, melds them together as their leathery wings, complete with scored line webbing, unfurl on either side. The entire piece is fused onto a thin, platinum arm cuff that gaps slightly at the back to allow the wearer to put it on with ease.  

Two designs that are not my standard custom pieces, so idgaf about making them verbose as I'll be mass selling them in the shop @Aodfionn spoiled me with.

Appearance: an antiquated silver and bronze acacia tree necklace

Dropped: an antiquated necklace, depicting an acacia tree, lies here forlornly

Examined: Sharply contrasting, the modest, two-toned necklace is handcrafted from a blackened antiquated silver plate, over which has been set a smaller, polished bronze plate. A striking silhouette of a tree, depicting an acacia, has been cut into the bronze plate, adding depth to the piece as the darker material peeks through. The branches of the tree have been arranged to wind and turn in different directions, adding an organic feel, while miniature acacia leaves splash intermittently throughout. The necklace hangs from an adjustable black leather cord, permitting some comfort when worn around the neck. Discreetly stamped onto the back of the necklace is a minute emblem of a flame.

Appearance: a silver phoenix medallion ring

Dropped: Glistening on the ground, a phoenix medallion ring has been lost here

Examined: Painstakingly sculpted and finished in pure silver, this classic medallion styled ring is an attractive testament of rebirth and renewal. The ring details a simple flat band that sweeps into a primitive open-cut sunburst on the shoulders. Molded into the center of the band, a rising phoenix, rendered in angular tribal lines, sits upon a circular medallion. Whereas most of the legendary bird possesses a stunning silver finish, the twisting curls of its tail plumes are inlayed in gold which infuses hints of striking color into its design. Discreetly stamped on the inside of the ring is a minute emblem of a flame.

freshly grilled pineapple slices on a skewer

Slices of grilled pineapple line up on a skewer here.

Thick, juicy slices of fresh pineapple line up on a skewer of newly harvested sugarcane. Each slice has charred grill lines along each side as well as the edges from cooking. Sugars from the cane skewer form a thin layer of caramelisation over each slice, giving the yellow fruit a hint of browning. 

Pulling slices of grilled pineapple from a sugarcane skewer, the warm, fresh fruit fills your mouth with the sweetness of the fruit's juices. Hints of caramelised sugar give the fruit a crispier crunch as well as a rich, sweet flavour.

Plucking slices of grilled pineapple from a sugarcane skewer, $eater slowly chews each slice, the aroma of warm fruits wafting around $eater_him for a moment before fading away.

Appearance (short_desc)
a rousing bowl of warm apple risotto

Dropped (long_desc)
Subtle tendrils of steam rise from a bowl of warm apple risotto here.

Examined (extended_desc)
Presented in a white ceramic bowl, this dish features an unusual pairing of ingredients. The risotto has been created by simmering the rice with apple juice, which enhances the mild and natural sweetness of apples. Fresh rings of onions were lightly fried and then boiled together with the simmering rice, which serves to thicken the risotto. Chunks of apple have been cut into cubes and then added into the mixture after the dish is served, allowing the crispiness of the apple cubes to add texture to the creation. Lemon zest added across the dish as a garnish lends a bitter-sweet taste that pleases the palate.

First Eaten
Taking up a spoon, you dig into your warm bowl of apple risotto. The rice is soft and superbly cooked al dente, and the mild flavour of sweet apple shines through, complemented by the sour bitterness of lemon zest and crunchy apple cubes.

Skye

For mai aural earring:

a nautilus shell earring

A tiny nautilus shell earring lies here. 

Barely an inch across, a baby nautilus shell dangles from a small brazen loop. So small is the shell that the characteristic bands of colour have not yet begun to properly distinguish themselves. Instead, it has a mottled toffee colour, with only a few streaks of cream to hint at the cephalopod it may have become. The shell is pierced in such a way that the bronze hoop follows the natural curve of the outermost chambers, thus allowing the open lip to face directly into the wearer's ear.

Ruth

Someone said my apple risotto was not appealing enough so I present to you another Ruth-style dish:

Appearance

A bowl of tenderized sirloin steak over rice

Dropped

A steaming bowl of tenderized sirloin steak served over rice has been left here.

Examined

Served in a simple black bowl, this meal is comprised of a sirloin steak laid over a base of fluffy, plum flavoured rice. The steak is the main feature of the dish and has been left to marinate in a mixture of finely diced onions, pepper and salt, thus giving it a tender quality. It is then fried carefully until it is medium rare. A combination of red wine, butter, seaweed-infused soy sauce and more finely diced onions were added to the remaining steak juice in the pan. Potato starch dissolved in water was also used to thicken the sauce before it is generously poured across the steak and rice.

First Eaten
You dig into a bowl of sirloin steak over rice and are greeted with exceedingly tender meat and fluffy plum rice pleasurably entangled with the thick steak sauce.

Lala

Had too much fun with this:

appearance (short_desc)

a silky tail ribbon with tinkling bells

Dropped (long_desc)

A silky bell-studded tail ribbon lies coiled here.

Examined (extended_desc)

This lengthy ribbon has been hand-woven from delicate metallic-coloured silk. A fine layer 

of colour-shifting diamond dust adds texture and pizazz to the gossamer fabric, appearing 

as either gold or bronze to the eye depending upon the light source. A plethora of petite 

dangling copper bells are attached to the ribbon by small stitches looped through a tiny 

clasp at the crown of each one. The bells emit a sweet chime with every movement, creating 

a dulcet chorale to follow in the wearer's wake. The size and girth of this ribbon 

suggests a unique use. Instead of being affixed to the hair, the ribbon is long enough to 

coil from the base to tip of a Rajamalan or Xorani tail, or to tie in a bow around a 

dragon's tail. A tiny rainbow-coloured music note is discreetly painted inside the mouth 

of one of the cup-shaped bells.

And what Lala does with it.

With a happy wiggle of her draconic hindquarters, Lala wags her tail, 

setting off a delicate choral of tingling bells.

Marax

This is the stuff that makes me want to play again so badly...

Tharvis

a platinum talisman of the Elder Dragon

Polished to a blinding sheen, this platinum talisman has been carved into the shape of a formidable dragon's head. Upon its rigid brow in the sacred space oft reserved for a third eye, a large, prismatic gem is set, its meticulously cut facets ordinary upon first glance. Closer inspection, however, reveals a spectrum of stunning hues trapped within, from fiery red to icy blue, stunning silver striated with confusing gold, and finally, the tell-tale murk of sickly green near flooded by wisps of deepest black.

I've been on a native kick: 

Appearance (short_desc)

a native pipe bone and beaded breastplate vest

Dropped (long_desc)

A pipe bone and beaded breastplate vest is here.

Examined (extended_desc)

Providing scant protection due to its ceremonial nature, this breastplate vest is the 

height of native fashion. Made of striking hair pipe, slender tubular inch-long beads, and 

polished buffalo bone, this vest pays homage to the Earth Mother in its collection of 

natural materials. The bone and beading have been intricately hand-woven upon thin strips 

of leather, creating a segmented horizontal line of bone-white broken up by the dark brown,

 vertical stripes of the leather underneath. The sides of the breastplate vest are subtly 

fringed from the leather strips which remained unbeaded during creation. The centre of the 

breastplate vest is composed of a front panel of slender bone and hair pipe braced with 

round copper and hunter green beads, offering a lurid splash of colour against the off-

white backdrop. An unusual style for a vest, this garment is made of two bead-and-bone 

plates which fasten to the body by a long strand of braided leather that ties around the 

neck. A trio of large eagle feathers has been attached to the top of the breastplate vest 

and swoops down the middle of the chest. Tucked at the nape of the vest is a rainbow-

coloured music note.

Appearance (short_desc)

a plain buckskin loincloth

Dropped (long_desc)

Looking like a forgotten piece of treated buckskin, a loincloth is here.

Examined (extended_desc)

Like an appetiser to true tribal fashion, this garment offers a taste of simple native 

style. Constructed from stretched elk hide smoked to a natural tan colour and then 

austerely cut, the loincloth is utterly plain without any sort of adornment. Supple and 

soft, the front flap offers comfortable, non-chafing cover of the whole groin but only 

partial protection of the buttocks. A thick buckskin strap bands tightly around the hips, 

exposing all of the stomach and thighs while also keeping the wearer mostly decent. Meant 

to be worn one of two ways, the loincloth can also be converted into a breech-cloth, the 

front flap long enough to be tucked between the wearer's legs and secured at the back into 

the waistband. Discreetly dyed into the waist band is a rainbow-coloured music note.

Appearance (short_desc)

a pair of beaded soft-soled moccasin shoes

Dropped (long_desc)

Displaying a beaded design across the top, a pair of moccasin shoes is here.

Examined (extended_desc)

Made of single piece of treated deerskin, these moccasin shoes encase the entirety of the 

foot in a flexible grip, with an extra fold of leather which cuffs the ankle in a brace of 

buckskin. These soft-soled shoes mould to the foot with every use, creating a pliant 

barrier between the wearer's sole and the ground. Perfect for running or exploring the 

natural world, these moccasin shoes are a lightweight option between hard-soled shoes and 

bare feet. Small beads, prominently forest green, bronze, and white, have been diligently 

hand-stitched to the top of the moccasin in an stylistic rendition of a feathered stag. 

The same beads trim the buckskin cuff in an abstract design, looking almost like sharpened 

arrow heads around the circumference of the ankle. Painted upon the soft sole is a rainbow-

coloured music note.
