Heat wave is cooking us here in Quebec. So in the meantime, while I keep working on the car, a "hot" drawing I did a while back! What makes you genuinely happy? #happyfridayeveryone #illustrationartists #cartoonish #cartoony #heatwave #icecreamcone (at Marieville, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnhU2rjHMp/?igshid=zjxelaq3gwyd

This wallet is 100% recycled. What do you think about recycled HDPE? It's a very common plastic (♻️2) used mostly as household or food bottle. I think it look dope. #madewithcare #crafted #handmadefashion #recycledfashion #everydaycarry #edccommunity #edccarry #closeups #closeupshots #onlinecollection #handmadework #accesorize #accessorieslover #slimwallet #minmalistwallet #customwallet #cardholder #plasticwallet (at Marieville, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOjbY9jHdE/?igshid=724xowz0wuw0

Pocket organization is getting a minimalist makeover. The birch version of my wallet/pocket organizer is going live this week! I chose Birch for its hardness & density. Yes, I found out I'm really bad at scheduled releases. (: Let's hope things get back to normal quickly. Stay safe. #madewithcare #crafted #handmadefashion #recycledfashion #everydaycarry #edccommunity #edccarry #woodlove #closeups #closeupshots #woodporn #woodgrain #onlinecollection #woodartwork #woodproduct #handmadework #accesorize #accessorieslover #slimwallet #minmalistwallet #customwallet #cardholder (at Marieville, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBI6-eLjCoF/?igshid=9agzupecoj0f

Life isn't a straight path. I started with an idea to create something useful. As someone who tries to be minimalist, a wallet is something I'll always need. I love nature & woodworking so I though I would put those together and call it a day. I was wrong. I found out you need a lot more research & testing to create something truly unique & beautiful. Look out for my Naked Wood collection coming up. Wood and just more #wood. #naturephotograpy #path #lifepath (at Marieville, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBUvP1DmB4/?igshid=v3asvlqt2l1z

This week's production was slow down due to the warping issues with my wallets. You'll be glad to know I found a solution around this and will have a wallet carved from a beautiful solid block of wood. I will have a full-size Kubotan in-store as well! If you like these products, you can subscribe to my weekly Design Release via email. One email per week with all the new stuff released.. and 10% OFF. #madewithcare #crafted #handmadefashion #recycledfashion #everydaycarry #edccommunity #edccarry #keychain #keychains #keyring #keyrings #keyfob #keycharm #kubotan #selfdefense #prettyweapon #closeups #closeupshots #onlinecollection #handmadework #accesorize #accessorieslover (at Marieville, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA26UYpjVFe/?igshid=15bffjyzkej42

What do you guys want to see? I've been trying multiple posts a day and other formats lately. I think I will stick to my once a day carousel post. No need to spread out the pictures since it means most of you won't even see them! If you go back down my feed, I've done multiple things since I started. What type of content do you like? Oiling videos, behind the scenes, product shots... Let me know what you want to see! Here's a compilation of a lot of pictures that were shot for Pinterest. #closeups #closeupshots #edccommunity #edccarry #keychains #madewithcare #crafted #handmadefashion #kubotan #selfdefense #honestfeedback #feedback #recycledfashion #oneofakindpiece #edcphotography #repurposedwood (at Chambly, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvlzLYj5-6/?igshid=1vd86ko67h76a

A more in-depth look at this week's addition to the shop! My favourite one this week is definitely the beige one. I just love the way the grain pops out. Wood wallets are concocting. If you have anything crazy or very useful you would add to a wallet, let me know! I'm always looking to push things further. I also fell in love with the added phone stand. #madewithcare #crafted #handmadefashion #recycledfashion #edccarry #kubotan #keychains (at Chambly, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnxKPzD8Zr/?igshid=125rdyalxx49a

Finally proud enough of the quality. Time to make things that will last for a long time & share it with the world. ⠀ Things are going quite well and I'm happy to announce I'll be dropping my first few designs on Sunday! Every single one is unique so if you fall in love something, snatch it before it is too late. ;) ⠀ I'm using Etsy fore now as a payment processor/platform. If you see something you like but don't want to have to go through Etsy, send me a DM. I'll do my best to send it your way. ⠀ I'm now going back to making the wallets perfect. Grab a keychain while you wait. :) ⠀ Like the slideshow shot? ⠀ #wood #woodlovers #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #woodart #dowoodworking #woodshop #woodcraft #woodporn #handcrafted #craftsman #maker #woodlove #finewoodwork #customwoodwork #woodworkingporn #woodworkingshop #woodcrafting #madewithcare #crafted #woodgrain #bestinstagramwoodworking #edccarry #accessories #accessorize (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAN-M80jci-/?igshid=13s3dobcqgmvy

Changes made over the week. ⠀ Do you know about kubotans? It is a keychain invented by the Los Angeles police instructor back in 1969. Is it a self-defence stick made to carry keys. The keychain in the picture is based on that concept except it is not as long as the original. ⠀ Please stay safe during these weird times. Be your adventurous self. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #wood #woodlovers #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #woodart #dowoodworking #woodshop #woodcraft #woodporn #handcrafted #craftsman #woodlove #finewoodwork #customwoodwork #woodworkingporn #woodworkingshop #woodcrafting #madewithcare #crafted #woodgrain #keychain #keychains #keychaincustom #keyring #keyrings #handmadekeychain #keyfob #keyfobs #keycharm (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CADgU_DD2PY/?igshid=ggd7bzf8rsro

How should I name these keychains? ⠀ The solid wood piece, chosen for its knots, goes through a colour & finish process that brings out the crazy patterns & beautiful grain. Some of them look like Nebulas. ⠀ This one just got out of the colouring phase and is ready for the oven. ⠀ These are sturdy enough to last a long time, pretty enough to carry and can be used to get out of a bad situation? What else should be added? ⠀ Do you know about kubotans? It is a keychain invented by the Los Angeles police instructor back in 1969. Is it a self-defence stick made to carry keys.
