Koulton Leather

“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.” -Nora Ephron. Or the hero as the case may be. This belt took me a little longer than it should have, but so be it. I designed it to complement one of the first cuffs I ever made, and they look perfect together. I can’t wait to rock this around town. #photooftheday #picoftheday #madeinamerica #custom #leather #belt #mensfashion #womensfashion #fashion #fashionblogger #santafe #oklahoma #texas #koulton_leather

“And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that never were.” - Rainer Maria Wilke. This year has already been throwing lots of great “things that never were” in my direction. Hope yours is going well, too! And no I’m not done tooling this belt. I love this pattern but it never gets easier...#workinprogress #leather #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #santafe #texas #oklahoma #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

FINALLY getting myself a new belt. I can’t wait to see and wear the finished product! #leather #photooftheday #picoftheday #santafe #fashionblogger #fashion #custom #belt #mensfashion #womensfashion #oklahoma #texas #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

You know what drives me crazy? Leather so thick and cold it won’t stay snapped. #stopit #photooftheday #picoftheday #leather #fashion #fashionblogger #oklahoma #newmexico #madeinamerica #cowgirl #cowboys #koulton_leather

“I am a finally swimming, you are the line
If this is a moon land, darling
You'd be the find
I wanted to keep you close
Make you mine
If this is a moon land, darling
You'd be the find” - Benjamin Francis Leftwich “The Boat.” Dreaming in spilled wine these days. #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #southwest #cowgirl #cowboys #leather #oklahoma #texas #newmexico #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

Alright y’all. I must brag and tell every one of you why MY sister is better than yours. This kid is on the Vet Med Team through FFA, and she took her team to win STATE competition. Not only that, but she placed seventh in the entire state of Oklahoma. I can’t fathom the great things she’s going to do in life. I know we all say, yeah you can do and be whatever you want, but she actually can. Anything. Without even breaking a sweat. I’m bursting at the seams!!! #sisters #shesmine #genius #brainsandbeauty

“I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs and gleams...” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince. This one surprised me with how well it turned out. One of a kind! Take me to New Mexico. Now. #photooftheday #picoftheday #southwest #fashion #fashionblogger #womensfashion #mensfashion #cowboys #cowgirl #pretty #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

This one is going to be...big. Yay for recycling. #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #oklahoma #texas #santafe #koulton_leather

“Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.” -Berthold Brecht. 2018 is going to see even more hammering than 2017 did. #2018 #picoftheday #photooftheday #fashion #art #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #western #leather #koulton_leather

Now that we’ve survived the holiday madness, I’m playing around with some different design ideas. I think I need more stones. #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #leather #santafe #texas #oklahoma #koulton_leather

Greatly enjoyed whipping up this holiday order. Lucky lady! #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #leather #custom #belt #monday #koulton_leather

“Art is eternal, but life is short.” - Evelyn de Morgan. I am finding this little project most refreshing. More people carry pocketbooks than you might realize. #photooftheday #picoftheday #mensfashion #womensfashion #fashionblogger #fashion #leather #custom #koulton_leather

“Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.” -Napoleon Hill. This custom belt blessed me with fresh patterns to work with. $250 - get your custom version just in time for Santa. #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #monday #leather #koulton_leather

The paisleys are getting a bit addicting. Be sure to let me know if you have any holiday requests! #picoftheday #photooftheday #fashionblogger #fashion #mensfashion #womensfashion #santafe #texas #oklahoma #madeinamerica #leather #koulton_leather

Curing. I wish I could make it look like this permanently lol. #photooftheday #picoftheday #paisley #womensfashion #mensfashion #leather #belt #fashionblogger #fashion #koulton_leather

A certain little girl is getting this from Santa. Holiday orders are the best! #photooftheday #picoftheday #leather #christmas #happyholidays #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #koulton_leather

I know you can think of three people that would be tickled pink to score this belt from Santa. Just imagine the hot pink happiness. Handcrafted, hand painted, and hand stitched, cut from a solid bull hide. $350 from koulton.com or direct message me (buckle not included, my sister would kill me)

“Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.” -Don Miguel Ruiz. I think this cuff is probably my favorite. Might have to make a belt like this too. Available for $95. Direct message me or visit koulton.com

“I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” - Thomas Edison. Affair of the Heart is out of the way, and I have no issue telling you that it amounted to nothing more than an abject failure. I suppose now it’s back to work? Or job hunting. Maybe. I’ll see how I feel after these four bottles of merlot. #nightmare #photooftheday #picoftheday #leather #fashion #fashionblogger #santafe #oklahoma #texas #koulton_leather

Well, we made it! I’m here at Affair of the Heart Tulsa. Come see me! #excited #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #leather #mensfashion #womensfashion #oklahoma #tulsa #koulton_leather

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to make the background color come out blue like it is. It keeps showing up black. But it’s blue. #whatever #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #leather #belt #bracelet #leathercraft #fashionblogger #madeinamerica #oklahoma #santafe #texas #koulton_leather

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' -Eleanor Roosevelt. Getting packed up for Affair of the Heart Tulsa. And I have no problem telling you, I’m slightly terrified. #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashionblogger #fashionblogger #leather #belt #bracelet #handbag #mensfashion #womensfashion #koulton_leather

Hmmm...what do you think? Hot pink stitching? Or black stitching? I can’t decide. #photooftheday #picoftheday #pink #belt #leather #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #western #koulton_leather

"The artist never entirely knows - we guess. We may be wrong but we take leap after leap in the dark." -Agnes de Mille. #tuesday #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #leather #art #mensfashion #womensfashion #oklahoma #texas #santafe #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

Might not look like much right now, but someday this will be a huge pink belt for Affair of the Heart. If my thumbs don't fall off first. #picoftheday #photooftheday #leather #pink #fashion #fashionblogger #koulton_leather

I wouldn't go so far as to call this a Banner Day...yet designing banners is precisely what absorbed my afternoon. I'm coming for you Tulsa. #notfun #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #cowboys #santafe #oklahoma #texas #koulton_leather

"Take your broken heart, make it into art." -Carrie Fisher. It's the only thing worth doing with one. #photooftheday #picoftheday #brokenheartsclub #bracelet #belt #leather #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #koulton_leather

Ok so maybe I got a little wild with this one. It's about showcasing one's broad horizons right? Right. #woah #crazy #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #art #fashionblogger #leather #custom #halloween #koulton_leather

I just might have to make myself a whole belt like this. Hmmm...#photooftheday #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #leather #customized #mensfashion #womensfashion #monday #koulton_leather

A little rough draft action. What do y'all think? I was going to put red lace on this one, but maybe white? I kinda want a belt like this for myself! #leather #belt #bracelet #custom #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #mensfashion #womensfashion #santafe #newmexico #oklahoma #madeinamerica #koulton_leather

Back at it after a few days in New Mexico/Colorado. I was in desperate need of a change of scenery. What is it about paint that makes me feel so productive? #backtowork #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #leather #bracelet #belt #customer #pink #mensfashion #womensfashion #koulton_leather

Getting cuffs ready for some paint, stain, and stitch. #monday #photooftheday #picoftheday #fashion #fashionblogger #leather #mensfashion #womensfashion #koulton_leather
