This was my third #leatherworking project, a hat that I got the design off of CreativeAwl from Etsy, but I dyed it differently and omitted parts. I was trying to replicate the #leatherpride flag around the sides of the hat... this was well before I discovered the right tools for making it easier to hand dye the leather. It was a heavier weight than called for, but it does work out with it being slightly tight and while I know that I could have improved the dye job, I was happy with how I cut, sewn, burnished, and finished the hat on both sides. I also made sure to put in craft wire in the brim so that the brim can be shaped as I wish.The learning experience was that a proper wing divider would help make the stripes more uniform and I could have employed the idea of leather carving and cased the side piece to get more uniform hearts. I also learned that it's very important to pick the right weight of the leather when making something, because it might not fit exactly as it should.@actuallyautistic @leatherworkers @theautisticcoach

@jec @actuallyautistic I erroneously assumed that work done by autistic people like myself should post to it... I'm not too terribly social media savvy and after I saw what Autistic coach posted asking about autistic artists that I should keep posting my projects there. I'm fairly new to mastadon as well, so I might not be aware of all appropriate etiquettes.

@LeatherCubAndrew @robotdiver @jec @actuallyautistic Idk if right or wrong...There are hashtags for topic/group posts (big one is blackmastodon, for example) if a (black) person wants to put something there for the group....and non bipoc ppl are asked to not post, big reason is cuz the posts will be drowned by non bipoc ppl.My understanding of the actually autistic group acct is that one posts autistic issues. If u want to boost your work as autistic, I'd try making it a hashtag instead

@LeatherCubAndrew @VoxofGod @robotdiver @jec @actuallyautistic for a while I've wondered how to best use or not use the @ autistic group as opposed to hashtags so this helps
