Shots of my planner for my blog and all crafty things for this year! part of an old notebook I am determined to fill up this year.
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".
Christmas is near and I've been thinking of how to show our customers what they can do with their stationery and how to enhance the moments. My perfect notebook is composed of a Moleskine soft cover 18 months diary, a blank Moleskine, Authentics' PenClip, an Italian 4 color ball point pen (though I wish it can be a roller ball pen) and a clasp from Japan. I displayed the combination 2 days ago in our gallery and put up a POP showing customer what's in the combination.
I also stamped "The Times" press logo using gold pigment ink on the cover of the soft-cover Moleskine which created a classic look on the perfect notebook. The stamp was actually a letterpress stamp I bought from London, originated from the Fleet Street where the press was situated years ago. Gee, I'm hooked on Stationery really :)

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!

While I was in SFO I visited the Maido Stationery shop. Fiance timed me and said I was 45 minutes, although I swear I was only ten minutes. :D
Anyway, stocked myself up on refills (craft, lined and plain) and also found this week little plastic sleeve in the shape of a burned envelope. Using double sided tape I stuck it in the back of the Notebook to replace the zipper pouch I had.
