Lazy Fox Creates | Leatherwork, Cosplay, and Crafting

We’re doing a quarterly crafting update and catching up on everything we’ve been working on. From loom-knit blankets and book nooks to 20-year-old cross stitches, we talk about big projects, craft burnout, and the chaos of having too many hobbies at once.   Join the Sparkle Squad!

We painted turtles, and even though we had an instructor telling us exactly what to do, all our paintings ended up so differently! That's the beauty of the creative mind.   Join the Sparkle Squad!

This time, we talk about a slightly different kind of creative project: painting the interior of a house. Beka has been working toward the massive goal of repainting the entire house, and it looks fantastic. She talks about how important colors are for setting the mood, and Laura is just relieved that they're portion of painting is done.   Join the Sparkle Squad! Join us on Discord Email me: conta...

Friends, we're in scary place right now in the US. We don't want you to lose hope though; through community, we can get through this. We talk about some ways you can help with your time, your money, and your lifestyle. Craftivism was first used as a term in 2003, but crafting for a cause has been a thing people have participating in for much longer.   Melt the Ice pattern Seven Ways You Can Take A...

We’re joined by BloodlessDragonCosplays to talk all things cosplay, from how she got started to what it’s like bringing costumes to conventions. We chat about the crafting side of cosplay, learning through experience, navigating con life, and the moments that make all the work worth it. This is a conversation about fandom, creativity, and the reality of making something you love and wearing it out...

We’re talking about latch hook: the fiber craft that somehow turns a pile of short yarn strands into pillows, rugs, and full-on wall hangings. Beka walks us through how latch hook kits work, why she gravitates toward the very large ones, and how it’s become her designated “football season craft.” We talk about grid canvases, working in little 10x10 sections, the satisfaction of watching a design s...

We're talking junk journaling! What is junk journaling, anyway? It's fun to get into, and it really doesn’t need to be complicated. We chat about using scraps, letting pages be messy, and giving yourself permission to learn as you go instead of aiming for something perfect. This episode is very much about the process: making things slowly, trying stuff out, and finding comfort in a craft that does...

We spent a day at the Ren Faire and came back with trinkets, honey sticks, and a deep respect for parasols. We talk about trinket trading, live performances, alicorn sightings, and trying to enjoy the magic while it was way too hot. From handmade details to the overall vibes, this is a relaxed, story-filled chat about creativity, community, and the little moments that make Ren Faire days so memora...

My actual job involves my hands, but probably not how you'd expect. (Unless you've listened to Talon's episode cause we touched on it a little bit there.) For my 7–3:40, I go to a factory and make watches! More specifically, I used to make watches, and now I've moved on to being the one to figure out what went wrong when the ones that were made don't work.   Join the Sparkle Squad! Join the Glitte...

Imriel (they/xe/negm) came on to talk about xer fibers arts, some of which are cross stitching, tablet weaving, shuttle tatting.

Talon came on to talk about how he got into tattooing, and his roots as a piercer.

Your first leather project is probably going to have a ton of flaws, and you're probably gonna love it anyway. When I wanted a leather journal for my cosplay and I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, I said eff it, I'll just make one. What a journey I went on after that!   My links: Join the Sparkle Squad!

What's a girdle book? How can you use a Turk's head knot in bookbinding? How can I make my D&D adventures more bookish? I don't have the answers, but luckily, my guest, Linette (she/her) does, and she shares her knowledge with us in this special episode. As a novice bookbinder, it was especially fun for me to listen to her teachings–since she also teaches this professionally, how cool is that!...

I got started with leatherworking by watching professionals on YouTube. These are the people that inspired me, taught me, and helped me grow!
