Earth Medallions: Stones Set in Leather

noreply@blogger.com (Art of Spirit LeatherWorks) — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:30:00 +0000

The natural appeal of stones cradled by the earthy touch of leather -- a perfect marriage! These are my own unique creation - I call them Earth Medallions; stones set in leather. Crafted from the gifts of our planet, each hand-worked pendant is an artist-marked individual creation and includes a small leather pouch for safekeeping.
I use natural stones, not colorized -- why try to improve on what Nature has already done so well? (They are shaped and polished, some are stabilized for strength, but no artificial colors or patterning have been used on any of these stones!)
Any inquiries can be made directly by emailing me at aosleather@gmail.com

Leather Wristbands

noreply@blogger.com (Art of Spirit LeatherWorks) — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:13:00 +0000

Few accessories are as personal as a wristband.
It's a classic in the most basic sense, dating all the way back to cavemen tying bits of rawhide around their wrists. A shell or bit of bone added a personal statement.
Wide bands have been worn through the ages as wrist armor or to provide support for strength. In more recent times narrow bands have been used to champion causes.
Wide or narrow, earthy or flamboyant - the choices are as varied as the wearer.
Entirely hand crafted of quality leather, these wristbands will break in with wear and become as comfortable and familiar as an old pair of jeans.
The ones pictured here are a very small sampling of my wristbands. Click on the caption to see the Etsy listing with more info.
There are a lot more available at my Etsy shop, linked on the left sidebar.

Deer Hide Pouches

noreply@blogger.com (Art of Spirit LeatherWorks) — Sat, 30 May 2009 05:12:00 +0000

Made with quality deer hide, these pouches are entirely handcrafted with an emphasis on durability as well as beauty.
Every detail, from the handsome edge-binding v-stitch to the round-braid strap, is designed to produce a pouch that will look good for years to come. In short, I put them together to stay together!

All sales in US Dollars.

Regarding Sizing:
*Please read carefully*
My wristbands are sized according to wrist measurements. I add the necessary length to this wrist measurement to allow for bending around the wrist and overlapping/snapping.
Because people have different preferences on how a band should fit, most of my bands are listed with a sizing range between 2 numbers. This indicates that it will fit loosely on the smaller number, snugly on the larger number. For example, if a size reads "will fit a wrist measuring 6" - 6 1/2" " then it will be loose (not sloppy) on a 6" wrist and snug on a 6 1/2" wrist. Keep this in mind when ordering.
If you are requesting custom sizing and you're using a favorite band as a size guide, please measure the distance between snap centers (not end to end) and let me know that you are sending a "band" measurement, not a wrist measurement.
If you have any questions regarding sizing, please let me know.
If you order the wrong size (it happens!) please let me know right away. I will be glad to make arrangements for you to return your band for resizing. (There will be a shipping charge for this.)
Remember: Sizing is important and is the responsibility of you, the buyer.

Tooled Leather Wristbands

PLEASE NOTE:

Wholesale prices on my tooled cuffs / wristbands are based on discounts from my retail prices with a graduated scale calculated by number ordered.

To see the retail listings, please see www.aosleather.etsy.com or send detailed request for current pricing to aosleather@gmail.com - please include as much info as possible regarding which designs, colors and widths you are requesting prices on.

My discount rate is as follows:

Price breaks start at 6 bands -- less than that is retail only.
6 - 12 bands - 20% off retail price + 6.00 sh&h
13 - 30 bands - 35% off retail price + 10.00 sh&h

I also wholesale my Earth Medallions in quantities of six or more. The discount on the Medallions is a straight $15.00 off my retail price plus shipping. (The retail prices in my shop are maker prices and therefore near wholesale already.) Since those are so unique, orders can be placed one of 2 ways: either from existing inventory as listed on Etsy or by special request, such as 3 small tiger eye, 2 medium Unakite etc. Orders from inventory are shipped right away -- special requests take longer.

My deerhide pouches are currently undergoing a price review – if you are interested in pouches, please contact me for further info. Earth Cuffs are a new item and a wholesale rate has not yet been established. If you are interested in these, please let me know.

To place a wholesale order please email me with your preferences.

Orders will be invoiced through Paypal for your online payment security and convenience. I will also accept payment by check or money order. Please let me know if you would like to arrange this.

All orders must be paid when the order is placed – I cannot extend credit at this time. For large orders I will gladly accept 50% deposit at the time of order placement with the balance due prior to shipment.
