DoverspikeArt is taking a short break

Note from shop owner HIATUS & TRAVEL 9/21 - 10/4

I'm preemptively closing shop, to finish up existing orders & prep for travel.

Despite the auto-replies, I'll still be available to answer messages & process custom orders. Manticore Gauntlets will reopen for limited runs into the end of the year.

Upcoming

I'll also be using this time to revise existing designs & prototype new items for release later in October.

  • Manticore Gauntlets! Lately, we have been investing a lot of effort into strictly custom-fit & designed armorcraft.
  • Celtic Gold-leafed Table Sign As commissioned by a fellow artist, a custom wood sign featuring hand-drawn knotwork.
  • Custom Leather Armor We've slowly been crafting new pieces of armor & taking on interesting commissions!
  • Family Crest Restoration A redesign of a family's crest, originally depicted in watercolor. 16"x24" resin coated.
  • Just a few of several styles we offer, and of course, we welcome custom work featuring names, phrases, and designs.

Leather, Wood, Metal, Paper

We are a couple of artists who have merged our talents & our lives into an ongoing collection of hand-crafted work, with a little gold-leaf and oxidized metal for style.

Originally from Wisconsin and New York, we've moved around the country and lived in multiple places throughout our lives, until settling in central Texas for several years running now. We work from home & we live to work, so have a look around!

We currently specialize in;
- Articulated Leather Armor
- Wood-cut displays and signage
- Leather-bound books and tomes
- Random vector-based designwork

We especially enjoy custom requests, as it keeps things lively, and we sometimes pick up new skills and techniques along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders

In most cases, yes! We generally sell two types of items, "stock" and "custom".

A stock item has already been made in a certain style, color, shape, and is fully assembled and completed. There is only one quantity of it. These items, a book for example, cannot have additional features like having a name engraved on the cover.

A custom item is one where you are able to choose additional options, such as dye colors or cover designs. We make these items as they are ordered, and can generally fulfill requests for features not listed.

In either scenario, we accept fully custom/commission orders, where we take your requests and craft them into an entirely unique item!
