Announcement    We usually make a shop announcement once a year, but not in 2020. This year is calling us to step up on so many levels. Black Lives Matter to us, no question. We are 95% more alike genetically then we are different and we honor all human life. We are so blessed to have such a diverse family of humans wearing our art all over the planet! We are in full support of the current movement happening in our country to bring justice to all the BIPOC families who've lost loved ones at the hands of a corrupt militarized police force. We stand with you, we are listening and we are your allies.

"May the BIPOC of our world be Safe and Protected, May they be Contented and Pleased, May their physical bodies support them with Strength and May all BIPOC lives unfold smoothly with ease."

May it be so.

We love you, we are sorry, please forgive us and thank you.

Thank you for visiting! We appreciate your purchase from our shop more than ever, as 90% of our yearly income is from In-Person sales at events all over the West Coast. We are definitely navigating these new challenging circumstances with a smile and a prayer! 90% of what we earn yearly has disappeared and all our shows have been canceled until 2021 due to the pandemic. This severely impacts our family of 5, so every sale we make right now helps us put food on the table, keep the electricity on and keep us moving forward.

We've also been running an Artist Collective Fundraiser to help not only ourselves survive, but 11 other Small Handcraft Art Businesses that are in the same exact boat. Learn more here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/united-handcraft-artists-fund

We've been shocked to see many Grants that are only available for fine art, musicians and performers, but NOTHING for handcraft artists. We are determined to come out the other side of this situation successfully and having survived. After all, we've worked for nearly a decade to build this beautiful business. Please consider buying something, as it truly means the difference between us being able to afford groceries or not.

We are also helping a dear friend with Stage 4 Cancer get through this rough time. The proceeds for all the incredible Vintage you see being added to our shop go to help her. She has impeccable taste in vintage, great prices and incredible quality. We are stepping up to help her get all her inventory online to support her treatments and her well being. Every time you purchase a vintage piece from our Etsy shop your dollars directly contribute to helping fight breast cancer. Please take a moment to check out Ilene's blog at https://cancerbus.com/ where you can join her and over 2000 readers in furthering the discussion and raising awareness. Ilene is thriving and living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, she is truly an inspiration and we are so grateful to have her in our lives.

Stay Safe out there, Remember to Breathe, Be Well, This Too Shall Pass, In Solidarity, With Love and Gratitude, Our Hearts are with you all!
Blessings,
Azalyne & Aurelius (+3 teens & 1 Kitty)

The small caterpillar of a business known as Feathery Leathery (our original incarnation Est. 2011) wove an intricate chrysalis in which we began fine-tuning our designs and mastering our craft. Creating hours of endless art, hand-drafting patterns inspired by our magic, love for nature and our multidimensional cosmic selves. Ever whimsical, ever joyfully exploring the textures of silk, nuno and lace combined with leather. Until transformation was complete and Astral Chrysalis Designs spread its wings and emerged in 2014. From our humble beginnings as mask makers to the present moment, we have an all-original design repertoire of 50+ designs. Aside from being deeply in love with the process of creating our art, we are also still madly in love with each other and are excited to share that in 2015 we were handfasted in Ireland. We are so grateful to be back and so blessed to share our art with the world!

The re-incarnation of our shop is quite eclectic and you will find *In Stock One of a Kind Items* for sale, alongside CUSTOM/MADE TO ORDER limited edition item listings. Additionally, we have a new section of offerings for all the Etsy crafters out there! In this section, we will be offering our intricate original art leather filigree remnants for sale, as well as bags of scrap leather for a steal!

In-stock items, leather filigree hides and scrap bags will all ship 2-3 business days from the time of purchase. Custom/Made to Order listings typically take 2-3 weeks to complete and ship. We wish we could get these items out faster, but we are only two people creating everything with our own hands, in our home, while raising 3 teens!! If you need your piece by a specific date please convo us before ordering, so we may confirm our ability to make the item in time for your special event.

If you are an International Customer and need your item quickly, please convo us before purchasing, so we can make sure your needs are in alignment with the reality of our production schedule.

FREE SHIPPING ON US ORDERS for most of our items! Questions~please convo us!
