I have been making these for already 7 years and the monkey is one of my current favorites. They take 7-9 hours each to make, not including the pattern making.
I was inspired to take a medium that is used for trendy objects with a short consumer life span, turn the model on its head, and produce objects to love for 60+ years.

They are adorable! A little out of my price range but I know so much care and work goes into making them. Much success to you
Hi Lisa! I do limited runs of minis as well from time to time:) I'm not clever enough to fit two eyes on a small yet so they are all cyclops .. still cute and a good price:) Thank you for the well wishes!

Hi there, I understand! This began as an art project to show how sad it was we consume and waste. I collected unused scraps and overages in my city to start this educational endeavor. I am still using that leather I collected. If you want to know more about the exact leather I use and who it's produced by and how email me and I'll give you all the details. lisa@leathermonsters.com - I look forward to a time when animals are not being eaten. Until then I will continue to gather up landfill-bound new leather and create these.

I am a sewer but nothing elaborate; simple things but I've sewn heavy vinyl and found that to be a challenge so kudos to you for these sweet creatures made by leather but why are they so sad?
Hi Zoe's mom:) They started as an art project showcasing leather waste in my city, I kinda stuck with the sad eyes, some are neutral though. They elicit empathy, I think that's kinda neat.
