About

Hi! I’m a leather artist from Saint Petersburg, Russia.
I love designing and handcrafting bags that are anything but boring. Every piece is my own creation – from the first sketch to the last stitch.
Here on Boosty, I want to share my work, my process, and the joy of turning an idea into something real you can hold in your hands.

The ammonite is slowly growing

Slowly building a giant papier-mâché ammonite.
First I twisted the wire frame, then started covering it with tiny newspaper scraps and building up the volume layer by layer. Right now it looks like some strange fossil pulled out of a dream instead of the ground.
Papier-mâché keeps teaching me patience.
Everything dries forever. Then comes sanding. Then probably more layers. Then more sanding again.
And honestly? I still don’t know if this thing will turn into what I see in my head. But I think that uncertainty is exactly why I love projects like this. Watching a form slowly fight its way into existence feels a little bit like magic.
I especially love this awkward “unidentified creature” stage before everything becomes polished and respectable.

Too Sick to Shop. Too Curious Not to Test.
Scraps instead of “perfect” leather.
The Griffin is already arguing with me — and I like it.
