Fungus Workshop Leather Craft
I learned leather craft from a few books but I felt kind of lonely just doing things I like all by myself. Thanks to Bubi Au Yeung, a figurine artist, who told me about Fungus Workshop, so I signed up for a beginner's class, two lessons passed and I got to know stuffs I didn't learn from books, plus knowing these passionate people who enjoy life and craft genuinely, which is kind of rare in a city like Hong Kong.
Each classmate choose what he/she would like to do from a bunch of samples. I chose to do something in the line of stationery (later I will do a camera/laptop messenger bag). Their template was a notebook cover, but I decided to make it a GTD index card holder. After finishing it, I decided to add a notebook for note taking and an antique key to nostalgize the whole thing.
For all leather projects I did, improvisation in the last minute seems to add beautiful touches to a plain project. As you can see, the enclosure here doesn't wrap the back of the cover to the front, instead it leaves the back wide open so I can dangle the whole notebook or even hook it up to my messenger bag.
Instead of a Moleskine notebook, I put a Rhodia notebook inside just because of its bright orange color, to lighten up a bit. However, I hate the fact that the PU cover of Rhodia discolored after just 6 months from my acquisition of it. In addition, it just doesn't lie flat like a Moleskine does when opened. Anyhow, the discoloration did added the raw and battered look I like.
For those of you who are in Hong Kong and hunger for leather craft, I highly recommend Fungus Workshop. Hoiming and Baldwin, Grace and Philip, all four are friendly souls you can chat with and learn from. I am so happy Hong Kong is catching up with Japan and Taiwan in leather crafting. Keep it up Fungus!

My notebook could be an archeological dig at this point, layer upon layer upon layer, with some stickers long lost and others, like the Exotic World and This or That ones being saved...
Another set of memories for me.
Yup, I really should be content with my notebook collection as it is! See other photos in this set if you want to see details (and cover art) for each one.

on the left ink i drew in ink over a vintage journal page and on the right, I drew in ink directly on the page.
This is formally called the "Pocket Cover for 3x5 cards". I call it "The Hipster".
Here it is shown holding cards (with templates from diyplanner.com), credit / business cards and a passport behind the cards.
This is my favourite desing in that it is the most versatile. As you can see in other pictures it allows you to hold cards, pocket notebooks and even pens thanks to the built-in horizontal elastic band.
Donated by Field Notes for the benefit auction / holiday party to raise money for the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum.
More info on these notebooks is available from Field Notes.
This notebook was cute, however caused a whopping $8... only at Urban. I wonder who buys these books? Must be some rich folks!
A new school year started (yesterday), so I was inspired to start a 365-project again. I want to picture all my most important memories in this project this school year so I get an awesome 'book' of pictures at the end.
Hopefully I won't forget making pictures because I really do wanted this a long time ago. Behind every picture there will be a real or fiction story (depends on my mood), which I will include shortly in the descriptions.
Story of the Squirrel notebook ~
Once upon a time there was a squirrel. At a night the squirrel said 'hi' to the leaves, but the leaves didn't respond. The leaves only breathed really hard. The squirrel desperately asked mothercat why the leaves were ignoring him. Mothercat answered: 'They are sleeping honey, if you want to talk to them you must wait till you see a bird in the evening. When you see a bird you can make friends'. So the squirrel waited and waited, but no bird came. The squirrel cried and cried tears out loud. Finally a gorgeous pink bird came and asked: 'My dear, why are you crying?'. The squirrel jumped up and as soon as he saw a leaf he tried to talk to it. The bird became sad and mad because he felt ignored, so she left. Back home the squirrel asked mothercat: 'Why didn't the leaves talk? I saw a bird!'. Mothercat laughed and said: 'Honey, the bird are the leaves. The leaves are the birds. They sometimes hide themselves behind those leaves. You can't even tell how smart they are! I have something for you, squirrel.' Mothercat went to her old closet and found a special blue leaf. 'This my dear, was from my old friend Mrs. Birdy. It protects you from bad animals. You can keep it well, or gift someone special with it.' So the squirrel thought about the conversation and waited the next day for the pink bird. The same bird came, but ignored the squirrel. The squirrel said sorry to the bird and gave the bird the special blue leaf. That's how the animals became friends.
