5 out of 5 starsHe's absolutely PERFECT! He's so detailed and cute and small, I wish I wasn't giving him away as a birthday present because I'd love to keep him. 10/10, will definitely buy cute little elf creatures from here again. The seller also included a little shell necklace to apologize for the delay in shipping, which was totally not necessary (bc with everything going on in the world, a shipping delay is to be expected imo!), but it was very sweet and I appreciate the gesture all the same! <3

5 out of 5 starsOne of my absolute favorite items to buy here. Four years ago, I bought a necklace similar to the one right here, but after so long of wearing it, it broke. BUT! Layman came back with a spare and this is still such a beautiful piece!
Admittedly, the chain is a little smaller, but not enough to choke or make me uncomfortable.
The blue chosen is so rich and perfect. It's incredible!
In the end, four years later, Layman still is one of the best services and item creators I've met.
(P.S. it came in the bag, but the box is from the original necklace from four years ago) -

5 out of 5 starsSooooo incredibly beautiful! The quality and just the beauty of the mask is beyond anything I was expecting, and the straps are also leather, which I was not expecting. I am beyond thrilled with it!!!

'A Grimm Design' was started in April of 2011 with the desire to share a piece of imagination with the world. Having an awkward start, unsure where to fit into the steampunk universe aLayman began to venture out into odd sculptures and then into leather work. From there her skills grew until she was experimenting with new things that many around the world love the craftsmenship of her work.
Fast Forward to 2019 and ‘A Grimm Design’ has been changed to ‘aLayman Studios’ with the intent of changing ‘a Grimm Design’ into a collection line for various parts of her artwork.
aLaymanStudios specializes in custom leather flasks, pocket watch cases, other leather goods such as bags, masks, steampunk and fantasy renaissance attire. Not limited to leather medium; aLayman also makes fantasy sculptures, ooak art dolls, original fine art pieces and prints.
Within the ‘A Grimm Design’ collection you will find one-of-a-kind sculptures, exotic mystical creatures art dolls, fantasy home decor, unique wearable art in the forms of leather masks, headdresses, jewelry and more. Traveling far beyond the reaches of the imagination, collecting and creating mysterious relics, oddities, & creatures at the bottom of the universe.

Frequently asked questions
Does the flask come with the leather covers? What about a funnel?
Yes, the flask always comes with the leather cover/wrap. I also try to include a funnel for filling your flask with each flask order, however sometimes I run out of funnels when supplies get low.
What can I expect to find in my package?
You package will have your item wrapped in tissue paper and then by protective plastic or bubblewrap. You'll get a copy of your receipt, a business card, and a complimentary bookmark or sticker (if in stock).
Should I expect variations from the item pictured on Made to Order Listings?
Yes, you should expect slight variations from the item pictured. The items are cut and made by hand. Leather stains may also turn out a little lighter or darker as well. Leather does not stain the same way all the time, but the colors will be more or less what pictured in the listing.
Are your Art Dolls toys?
My Art Dolls are NOT TOYS, but are posable sculptures. They are 'One of a Kind' handsculpted art doll. They will never be duplicated. No molds or casts were used or taken. These are handcrafted figures and are collectible. They are not intended to be used as a toy.
