Reply to comment by VictimOfCrickets in "Babadook"Leather Bookmark, me by kswades

Thank you. I have been leatherworking on and off for a couple of years now. I started a business last year (Ashen Relics) making journals/bookmarks and leather art. It is a really fun medium and I enjoy it thoroughly.

Have you thought of any goddess ones? That would be amazing and widening your audience!

I actually started with myth and religious figures. Saints, goddesses, etc. I believe I have an Athena bookmark on the Etsy. The first thing I made when I started the business was Ishtar/Inanna. My main interest is myth and religion so it felt like a logical combination.

Lillith/Innana, Gaia, Hekate, fertility goddess, Goddess of Willendorf, Brigid, Cernunnos, Freya… I would buy them

This is really the reason I started the company and would love to. I was commissioned for a Hestia altar piece (post history) recently. I take custom orders. DM me and we can talk specifics. I went to school for Religious Studies and have a personal pagan/animist practice. Trying to bring these archetypes to life if endlessly rewarding. I appreciate your time.
