Ok since I haven't update my profile in quite a while I am doing so now, basically I am a Leather Smith specializing in Leather corsets, Fantasy/Fetish armor, and endless variety of tooled leather products, leather creature creations (soon to be available for purchase) as well as Lapidary stonework and gemstone grinding (something I just got into). I am also a special effects nut that loves to experiment with various FX materials to see what I can bring into being) and occasionally I have been known to make custom dental acrylic Fangs and Claws.
I do enjoy getting Vamped or Gothed out to hang with my friends at a Club and dance my ass off to really good music. Oh did I mention I like to bite. I am a very creative and imaginative person I am always thinking about something no matter what I am doing. Many great things have been going on lately. My business is up and running and I have a web site up (www.darkdreamsleather.com) the current site is soon to be totally revamped with an online store to purchase items directly, in the mean time check out my ebay store.
I am currently building up stock for the upcoming Ojai Pirates faire in Sept and I will also be vending at the Irwindale faire in 2009 once I am finished with my stock build and all the other wonderful things I need to be set up and ready to vend I will be designing some new leather corsets based on an Evil/Good Faerie theme and should have a few or more finished by Summer 2009, Sorry for the long delays in updating my sites as I have been super busy getting stuff together for my business. Anyhow if you would like to know more just ask.

DROPPING BY TO SAY HI AND TO LEAVE ONE OF MY STORIES OF UNFORTUNATE TIMES!
'WHAT GNAWS ON MY SPINE'
Awakening back pains are a strain on my brain. What I thought was the rain, And arthritical pain Was far from the answer, the doctor explained.
“What you’ve got here are teeth, That lie deep beneath Your lower spinal frame.”
I listen in aw, as he starts to explain That what I was feeling, And my continuous screaming, Was not from a dream, But simply a twin, That settled right in, And began to devour my spleen!
My backache is from this invader, That grinds on my spine like a saw. And all that remains of this twin inside me Is a mouthful of teeth and a jaw.
I feel an attack as it gnaws on my back, When I lay on my back, that’s when The teeth start to bite, In the middle of night, I wake up in pain yet again.
The doc called it Lillian, my sister inside, I screamed out in pain when she gnawed on my side. There’s nothing to do! There’s no way to sleep! The doc says that Lillian is one in a billion And I can’t live without her, She makes my heart beat!
So it’s off now to bed, the worst place I dread. I’ll do anything to fall fast asleep. But I won’t be surprised when I’m closing my eyes, That it’s she who starts grinding her teeth!
