WESTERNSPICE CHANNELS A MODERN CATWOMAN . . .

Just to show you how diverse the leather making world can be, The Missus
has decided to share the latest request from WesternSpice for her daddy. 

I'm sure there are those in the cosplay world who would be envious of WesternSpice
if they only knew she had access to Mr. Legendary Leather's bovine crafting 
talents purely through her blood-line as his daughter. As you know, WesternSpice
doesn't limit herself to the cowboy realm - she also has a passion for the 1940's
(whether it be WW2 or civilian), Marvel Comics, Victorian era, blood-thirsty
pirates, and now the world of DC Comics. Yes, WesternSpice channeled
"Catwoman" for her most recent visit to Long Beach Comic Con.


. . . "holy ancient costumes, Batman!" We don't mean Julie Newmar!

In preparation for her more modern version, WesternSpice found it relatively
easy to find the necessary items to complete her costume, However, she didn't
 ponder long on the puzzling question of what to do for Catwoman's head gear.
And as you might have guessed, she turned to her daddy.



Once again, WesternSpice had a vision that she needed to convey to Mr.
Legendary Leather, and Mr. Legendary Leather had to interpret a vision into
a tangible hand-crafted leather piece. But how to get those Catwoman ears
and put a modern 21st century spin on them?

 


Fortunately it only took a couple of prototypes before the end result was achieved.


Not exactly what the "old school" parents were picturing walking around in Gotham 
City, however it was exactly what WesternSpice had envisioned.



And as always, a fun time was had by all at the "Con".
