A goth-punk set of spiked collar and armbands I made for a themed party/LARP. They’re made of 1 inch wide leather bands, stained black, with mirror-finish nickel-plated spikes, buckles and rivets. The cone spikes are sized at 1 inch, 1/2 inch, and short.
I think they look cool, but I don’t really know if I’ll have much chance to wear them. I should maybe convince some friends to all mob to a goth club or something.
I enjoyed making them, but I think I likely won’t work very hard to sell them or similar pieces. They aren’t very much in genre with most of my other stuff, and they’re not super original or anything. I feel like there isn’t much reason for someone to go to me to make these rather than just going to Hot Topic or wherever. Of course, I could be convinced otherwise. And I might play around with more inventive designs in this sort of vein.
[edit:] Since I had a couple people express interest, here's a price breakdown:
A single collar like this is $40.
A single armband like this is $30.
A pair of armbands like this is $50.
The whole set together is $75.
But if more than one person want a set, the second person will have to wait, because I'm almost out of the 1/2" spikes, and it'll take a few days for more to arrive.
Oh right, and as usual there are some more photos over on my Tumblr page: http://armoreddragon.tumblr.com/post/80016068356

I know they're well-made, that's not really what's at stake. It's more that there are a good number of people already making similar products to these, and if I made lots of them then I'd just be another one of those people who makes these things. My goal with the things I design is to instead make things that other people aren't making, things that are unique and new. If I've got things that you can't get anywhere else, there's a clear reason to shop with me. If I'm making things that are pretty similar to products that are available in a number of other places, then I have to provide some other reason to buy my stuff rather than all those other people's stuff.
Or did you mean my prices were lower than you'd expect?
