Belts...BELTS!

With the Flea Market Season upon us, it is really time to get to work.
Keeping my shop heated this extremely long winter in Michigan, Has been a bit of a challenge this year. I installed a wood burner, but ran out of wood weeks ago, and just have not gotten anymore. Next year will be better...I have a Plan.
So the Armada Flea Market opens on Tuesday, but I work, so opening weekend I will be there. My product line has grown, not to where I want it to be, but we are getting there.
I now make about 35 or so different Monkey fist keychains, including new 3 Color monkey fists; and my line of leashes has grown quite a bit all the way around, I will be concentrating on collars pretty soon.
Always being busy, what with a real job, and doing this on the side...Keeping up with this insane schedule is taxing to say the least, But I Like it anyway.

Here is some pics of my recent works...

"Black Ops"

"Green Ops"

"Mine"

Other than being swamped with things to do, Summer should be here soon enough and then things will be overwhelmingly busy...I can't wait. 

I have been thinking of another website to start, a Dog Blog kinda thing. i have been kicking around some Ideas and have not had time to be real serious about it yet but that will be soon...Enjoy.

Busy Busy Busy !

It has been Months since I have Posted here, Way to long.
since my last post back in October I have started a Website under my own Domain...paracreationsusa.com .

My main goal is to show more stuff and expand what I do. Some things I can not do on other Hosted Platforms, and that is annoying to me, if something is harmless, it is Harmless. Nuff said.

On My Website, I sell a Higher end Leash and Collar Combo than on Etsy , Nothing against Etsy, just that if I am going to run my own site then I need something to show off there.

This is one of my Heavy Duty Leash and Collar Combos. An 8 Strand, 3 Color, Gaucho Braid, all my Leashes are 6 Foot Lengths. Also a Matching Collar, I believe this has a 6 Strand Core (Very Strong).

The Colors are Black, Crimson Red Diamond, and Black Diamond. High Quality Solid Brass Hardware all around, the leash has a Solid Brass Accessory Ring for a treat tote or potty bag carrier. Both are available Separately or as a Combo.of course other colors are available.

I have also Have Come up with a Really sweet 6 Strand leash. I am not the Creator of this Braid and I don't know what if anything it is called. I have nicknamed it a Modified Round Braid. 

I have not Seen one anywhere else, as with My 8 Strand Leash.

Crimson Red, Charcoal and Black Diamond, Solid Brass Hardware

Acid Blue, Charcoal and Black, Solid Brass Hardware

More Collars are coming soon, I hope to be able to offer a few different Weaves to Choose from. The Collar pictured with the 8 Strand Leash is very thick, I love it, but for a bigger dog not so much for a smaller dog. So that one will be specifically for The Big Dogs.

This is my latest Collar, in Black, OD Green and a Camo, Brushed Stainless Steel Buckle

Other than that, I always am making my Monkey Fist Keychains, more colors are available and I will be posting some new 3 Color Monkey Fists Soon. 

All that and working on my shop. I am in terrible need of a Permanent spot to take My Pictures, I just can't seem to get the colors to look right. Some rearranging is going on, computers and Monitors need moving, and a new floor soon. I have more Ideas I am working on, and some that are in the Planning stages so see you Soon.

My Etsy Shop

Later...

Well, It has been Awhile. So much going on but not a lot happening, I Guess.
   I have been moving back into my shop in my Garage, It is a mess but I am finally making some progress. Main thing now is to get some heat going, fall is here and winter is close by. I have a small wood burner that hopefully when I can get the Smoke Stack up through the roof it should be nice and warm.
  My work space is a disaster and is need of some serious organizing, but it has really been a big difference from my previous room/studio I had.

In between making the mess and cleaning things up, I have managed a few bigger projects. One being a 6 Foot Bullwhip. My first attempt was mediocre. Overall I am pleased with it, it Cracks like nobodies business, And is seriously cool to play with.

I have made a Few collars for Karma, I really like this Purple and Black one, I have not had the time to get back into making collars but this winter should be a good time for that.

Later.

 I had a customer ask about Red and Grey Dog Leash, so I threw together this one in Imperial Red and Charcoal

 This Charcoal goes well with other colors, I use it quite a bit, I would like to find something a little bit darker grey/ Charcoal and have not had much luck with that.

Visit My shop on  Etsy  I have several other leashes to choose from, or I can Make one whatever color you would like. I also have some Monkey Fist Keychains for sale

I made a new Collar and Leash For My Dog Karma, Shown here sporting her new Accessories. They were both made with Acid Purple and Black 550 Paracord With Brass Hardware.

Karma was not to enthused about the whole ordeal, She is usually a spaz but she sat real still for these pics

                                                     A couple of Close ups

I have not decided on whether to sell collars like this, It came out nice but it took a while to make.
I am going to give it another shot with some different colors and see how it goes, It is usually quicker with the second one

Here's a couple Neon Pink and Black Medium Duty Leashes. The Top leash has reflective black cord

Neon Pink and Reflective Black
