L'Etabli des Lucioles - Woodcarving, Leather, Notebooks & Marquetry

Notebook as ordered by my friend Manon! Made with care, the book was created by from scratch! It was a lovely project, thought to age well so most of the natural veg tanned leather os still visible and will get a patina.🥰

As always, all designed and handmade by yours truly. Waterbased dye from mixed to get the best nuances and small touches of paint added with patience.

Love how the dragon turned out, what about you ? 🤩

Thus begins 2026.
I lost my grandma a few days ago, healing will take time. However I am full of big hopes for this new year. Despite a rough start I will keep growing and learning how to navigate my young adult life.

Last year I did my best to keep the alive. It was a lot to keep my priorities in order. I decided social media shouldn't be a pressure for me. I just did my thing and tried to have fun.

For this new year I am looking forward to creating lots of new projects! I look forward to and meeting with the community again. I feel very lucky to get to know so many people with colorful lifes.

Thank you to all for following along my journey! Stay tuned for more creations!
In all tenderness, with strength,

Len for l'Établi des Lucioles.🐥

Well, well, well, rather late than never!
Here are some detail picture of the messenger bag. I'll make an updated version this year. I am so motivated, I hope to have enough time! 😁

On a parallel note, for a long time now, I have been wishing to get leather from a known source that would align with the values I'm willing to share: respect of the material and planet, quality, durability, made with love of good craftsmanship.🌱
I searched and finally found something!

I am now looking forward to try ordering leather directly from a small tannery in north Germany so I can provide a reliable source for my leather. It will be hides coming only from european cows (Germany, France, England and Skandinavia). Leather, direct from the source and a respectful one at that, keeping craftsmanship alive.I'm very excited to say the least and I'll tell you more soon!🥸

Sinon vous pensez que je devrais écrire en français plus souvent ?

So a friend gave me a Halfmoon knife for leather and she got this spoon in exchange. As much as I love using the tool for leather projects, I love seeing this spoon in use. 🥰
Thanks a lot again .ckb

Because the previous one got broken...I tried making an idiotproof spatula. The mission: make sure it is thick on every point without it looking chunky! What do you think about it?
