Michael Guest Report post Posted June 25, 2014 Hey Y'all, I am Michael, owner of a (very) small leather & costume company, Commedia dell'Artsy. We (my wife & I - as I said, small) are located in Brampton, just outside of Toronto, Ontario. I have been leatherworking since about 2001, and trying to make money at it since about 2003. After all, as many people have pointed out, it is an expensive hobby. Alas, I am not willing to make the jump to doing it full time, so I have to work it around the schedule of my day job with Outerwall (the guys behind Coinstar & Redbox). I got started through my participation of live action role-playing (LARP) games, and as a result most of my focus has been towards medieval/fantasy armour & accessories. I also make fetish/BDSM gear, such as floggers, collars, and cuffs. There is, after all, a remarkable crossover between the two communities. I found this site in my searches for armour patterns, because adapting existing patterns is so much easier than making them from scratch (usually). I am looking forward to spending far too much time lurking around and soaking up what I can. Right now, the closest I have to a website is my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CommediaDellArtsy Cheers, Mike Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might be surprised at the number of Canadians we interface with in Texas - largely because of the oil and gas business. Welcome to Leatherworker!
