with my years of experience with sketchbooks and notebooks when I'm talking - you'd do well to listen.
As appreciation for all your feedback and to fans of my FACEBOOK page, Im giving away one of these fabulous notebooks. Its packed with blank pages for your creative jottings, and filled with some of my favourite images to inspire you...mostly picked from my 'PHoto of the week' feature on my fb page.
Pop over to my blog to read about and see more photos
This book is handmade and constructed vintage airmail onionskin pages. It has a lovely translucent quality. The book has more than 100 pages. The covers are decorated with hand-marbled paper from Columbia College Chicago which I purchased at the Printer's Row Book Fair. It has a brown and white stitched ribbon marker. I really love these books because not only are they handmade, they're handmade with limited, vintage materials.
The book measures 5.5" X 6.5" X .5"
I've named this book "Simone".
Pattern is from LHN's The Rain Fell. I changed it a lot to fit my ideas.
Fabric: Lakeside Linens River Willow 32ct
Threads: CCC and DMC

Day 305 - New Notebook
Today I went shopping with Oliver and Annika in Hamburg. Annika has a small netbook and wanted something bigger. Soon we made a find... and 2 minutes later there was not one more. Hihihi :)

View showing the colors that I have. Very nice and understated colors. The fronts have this wonderful filigree like name-plate that says: "Notebook, Most advanced quality, Gives best writing features." No crazy Hello-Kitty or Pandas here... just a nice classic style.

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!
