The Art of BeE Workshop Japan

One thing I'd hoped when starting the blog was that a bunch of leather crafters and innovators around the world would be able to connect, share ideas and inspire each other. I think it comes from my days in art school, where I found it extremely enriching to just be around other creative types. It can't help but take your ideas and craftsmanship to a higher place. 

I want to introduce you to BeE Workshop, Japan.

This gentleman is creating some of the most exciting and unique designs I've ever seen. 

Custom-made straitjacket, belt set and 2-layer padded pussy mouth hood.

He contacted me a while ago to let me know that my blog inspired him. I was so blown away by his work, I didn't know how to express it fully. I think in many ways he's more advanced than me as a maker. And his ideas are off-the-charts wonderful. 

He developed his own unique pattern for a padded, 2-layer hood. And he created a pussy-type mouth opening - I've never seen anyone do this in leather. And as if that wasn't enough, he created a harness with detatchable mouth/pussy cover…

 I like the way he has the little pussy lips closed…

I think we have a shared love of hoods and complete coverage restraints. 

 

It's always thrilling for me to see a new take on an old idea. Check out the unique, beautifully-fitted pattern for the straitjacket here. Love the attached rings, and the sleeve lacing. The collar fits beautifully. 

Also, love the beautiful shape on this leg restraint. A really nice fit. 

 He has also made some beautiful armbinders in a range of different styles. I love this classic looking design:

 He's also experimented with an open-hand style:

 A French-maid look with frilly edges in PVC:

 An over-the-shoulder style with a zip-closure:

 An over-the-shoulder style that laces up:

Take a moment to appreciate this fantastic photo…

 An open-shoulder style with zip closure, and contrasting red straps and collar. 

Cannot love this image enough…

Really beautiful custom-harness strap and chain sets too… so much great work. 

 

 I only know of his blog here, but will let you know if he ever puts together a stand-alone website. Don't you agree that his work is just fantastic? 

Thank you BeE workshop, for sharing your inspiring work with us! 

Fei Fei Sun in TALL boots, gloves and fur - Vogue Italia

A stunning pictorial by Mert and Marcus for Italian Vogue's 2015 China issue featuring Fei Fei Sun. You can see the whole set here on Asian Models Blog. I think I'm ready for total Asian domination. Yes, please!

We all know the net is just a never-ending cornucopia of sensual images, and there are so many people better at doing image reposting than I am. But I had to share a set with you guys, because if you haven't seen 'em... you're missing something. Think of it like a current mood board, or a repository of inspirational wonderfulness. 

I always love to see what my friends are looking at too, and sammy, PSWKUA and Restricted Senses, all have fantastic tumblrs happening. Check 'em out when you have a chance. Especially if you're into tasteful and intense fetish bondage (Restricted Senses), Asian cutie pies with some very dirty minds and some potty play (sammy), and creative rubbery bondage scenarios (PSWKUA).
