A leather jacket for my 2014 diary :)

A veg tan leather jacket made fit to my new 2014 dairy (size A5). Featuring a wrap strap to keep pages and scraps in the back pocket tidy while it is in my purse. I also added two bookmarks (attached on the spine of the jacket) (the Muji diary booklet didn't come with bookmarks), and a pen holder on the top side of the diary jacket. The pen holder is at a location where I can turn the pages without moving it, and it also will be hidden inside the cover when the cover is closed. 

Simple and classic in color! Think I will be happy to carry it around for at least this whole year :)

Have been busy editing photos of my new creations. In the meanwhile...

Check out some captions of the making and my sell table on the day of 
the Auckland Art & Craft Fair:

 My very first market table! I love to meet people and chatting over my products.

 My signature creation - the Kitty Cat Envelope Clutch - was also there to show off its cuteness :)

Here's a closer look of the display table. The Bubble Cat Brooch is also one of my new creations. I will be developing a leather jewelery line using the Bubble concept :) 

These small leather purses (card/ coin purse) were the new feature of my creations. The beads decor are high quality Japanese glass beads which is at washable grade - that means they are more resistance to wearing off of color by use. The beads are mounted onto the leather firmly with a super-fine nylon thread, therefore they won't come off easily.

 Oh! And thank you so much for my brother Kei (he is one of the top 3 designers in the NZ Kleenex Paper Dress Competition 2012!! So proud of you Kei!!) for helping me out at the Fair :)

Freebies for the coming Auckland Art & Craft Fair :)

The Auckland Art & Craft Fair is approaching in a month time! I have been preparing for 5 freebie gift packs today. They are all messaged leather bookmarks. Veg tanned leather with colorful tags. Aren't they lovely?! The organizer of the show will chuck them into the VIP's goodies bags. I am also going to make sets of messaged leather bookmarks that will be available for purchase during the show. I think they make a nice and affordable Christmas gift :)

Super slim-fit Kindle cover!!!

This is a SUPER SLIM-FIT leather jacket I designed and created for my new Kindle Paperwhite today! The jacket is made of thin vege tan leather. Yea...I know...the stain...I chose this bit of the material to make the jacket because it is intended for my own use. So I can use up the ugly bits and leave the pretty bits for my costumers :) 

 

The jacket is designed to have a pen holder and 2 card or memo paper slots. I think it is handy to have some memo paper and a pen ready whenever I am reading a book. I love to jot down ideas and inspirations as I read along. Although I am reading from an E-book, but a sticky memo feels so much real to me, so I won't give up on writing ideas on the sticky memos.

 

As you can see from the last photo, I particularly made an opening for the main button and the USB port, so no removal of the Kindle device from the jacket is necessary for all functional operations. (If you are thinking of getting one of this from me, no worries about the stamping of my brand's name on the back of it, I only do this if the product is intended for my own use. The one you get will only has the short from of my brand's name hidden out of sight) :)

A custom-ordered wallet and coin purse set is in making!

After the Kitty Cat Clutch, my project this week is to make a very special custom-ordered wallet and a matching coin purse. Being able to involve in the making of a gift that somebody intended for their loved one, it's the best and happiest feeling in the process! And this feeling motivates me to achieve the best result I can in the making of the product. I won't let you let your loved one down!
