Foxes and Ravens is a small but growing leather crafting business making fantasy accessories and gear. Their founder, Pip, is a leatherworker and videographer, with a passion for storytelling and learning.
I’ve relaunched my Patreon! We have a crafting tier for people who want behind-the-scenes, beta-testing patterns, voting on new patterns and kits to add, and a monthly livestream craft-along, where you can watch me work, bring a project to work on, and ask me questions! If we can get to $750/month, I’ll start to create videos again, starting with an in-depth shoe tutorial 😉 Hope to see you there! www.patreon.com/foxesandravens?utm_campaign=creato…
Hear ye, hear ye! All shoe patterns have been massively updated, to have all sizes from 36 to 48, with newly vectorized patterns, lines instead of dots on the soles, and some INSTRUCTIONS. We hope that this pleases the fair folk of this kingdom. If you purchased a copy of the patterns on our website, congratulations! You already have been sent a copy. If you purchased a copy on Etsy, you'll have to contact us. Happy crafting! Pip
Hello folks of YouTube! It’s been a long while since I was active on here, and so much has changed. I’m no longer crafting in the nooks and crannies of my house, but have my own workshop in downtown Sherbrooke QC! Foxes & Ravens has grown to a team of about half a dozen, with four workshop Goblins and two marketing Gremlins, plus yours truly. I’ve gone from making Viking shoes to selling a huge variety of fantasy leather accessories, from armor, to corsets, to everyday belts with a whimsical fantasy twist. I’m prouder than ever of what I’m doing and creating, and how I’m helping, uplifting, teaching and inspiring the people around me. Foxes & Ravens has grown to be quite different than how I started out—as I have as well—mostly because I stopped trying to do what I thought other people wanted from me and started to do what I thought was cool. It’s still an ongoing process, and I’m so excited for that evolution to continue. But it means that my new content is going to be very different than what it was, and the values I’m now promoting might throw some people off. I won’t be surprised if some people leave, as my intended target audience has changed. My apologies for the drastic changes, but I can’t be sorry for being true to myself. I hope that those of you who stick around or who are new to this channel will be as entertained and into this new direction as I am 😊 Stay true, be the main character of your life, and happy crafting, Yours truly, Pip
Hey my foxy crafters! I'm going to be doing a premiere of my Patreon Announcement Video tonight at 7pm! I've never done a premiere before, so I'm not 100% sure how it'll go, but afterwards I'll be having a Live Q&A that's for my beta-patrons who have already signed up for the Foxes and Ravens School of Leathercraft and Artistry, but you can join in too if you want to find out more about what I'm offering. I'll post a link to the premiere once it's ready!
Hello everyone! I'm sorry for my absence, I realized that the amount of time I was putting into creating videos just didn't make sense, unfortunately, at least, not as a simple youtube channel. I also had a lot of exciting, but time consuming life events happen that made it hard to find time to make videos: we were raising a litter of our dogs' puppies this summer, and then my husband and I bought some land and have been trying to make plans for our ecological home we hope to build mostly ourselves next year. We just moved into the house next to our terrain, and my workshop is still quite a mess, so not great for filming.
I've been working on starting a Patreon for leather crafting classes, but it's slightly intimidating, especially since I'm self taught, and I worry that there are gaps in my knowledge, or that I may not be able to teach at an advanced level. But I think it would be a great way for me to connect with those of you who are just getting into leatherworking and who are inspired by this channel!
I plan on November being my DIY month, where I'll be releasing new patterns and kits. If you want to stay in the loop for those, definitely sign up for my email list on my website: www.foxesandravens.com
Thank you so much for your continued support, you guys really make my day <3 Cheers, Nora
To celebrate reaching 2k subscribers on YouTube, I'll be doing a giveaway of a shoe kit! I'll do a live video tomorrow at 1pm (Eastern Standard Time) explaining how I would like people to enter, and then go into some tips and tricks for using my shoe pattern. See you then! - Nora
TWO THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS! Amazing! I just reached 1k on instagram, and am doing a giveaway: what would you guys like if I did a GIVEAWAY for you? (this doesn't count as the giveaway, I'll make a video for that, and it'll involve sharing and suchlike)
