Claw gloves

The mad Ukrainian leather-artists Bob Basset have a pair of claw gloves to go with the claw shoes from earlier today. I sense a theme (especially when combined with one of their smashing Cthulhu fetish masks).

Paw for hand. Лапы для рук

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Ahh, make outfits for psycho killers so they don’t have to learn to sew their victims skin. Excellent!

If anything these appear to be claw mittens. As if Sabretooth didn’t lose enough street cred from that last X-men movie.
