Looking forward to making tonight’s dinner. Some of the ingredients: shrimp, garlic, fresh lemon juice, saké, linguini.
Concept in progress.
Brain is currently exploding with ideas.
I do have a thing for being by outside while it is raining. The wind, the sound of the rain, the rustling leaves in nearby trees, the smell in the air.
Happy Friday! I’ve got another batch of leather Summer ‘22 mailers going out next week. Fill out the form here if you’d like to receive some friendly snail mail with a handwritten note…Plus a simple leather gift is included :-)
I am officially at the point where I print out the emails/newsletters I want to read. And I kinda love it.
For reference, and for anyone who is interested, the leather camera wrist strap I made for @miraz (original post) is available on my site here.
Kinda have that vibe in my head, but also based on the excellent humidity in the air and the heavy rain, of a rainy afternoon at the beach. So doing what I would do if I was there: beer on the balcony.
Time for the best part of the day: first sip of coffee.
A bit abstract but I enjoyed designing and making this classy leather wallet. Hand dyed royal blue, printed sheepskin, violet thread, and brass snap.
Made a leather walking pouch of sorts. Belt loops on the back so I can use it with whatever belt I am wearing at the time. Have also been using it as a standalone pouch to hold EDC items.
First time in a while I’ve had to tape one back together. May need to make an appropriately sized leather cover…
Latest creation.
Love this current feeling I have, been a while since I have felt it, after sitting on the beach all day, sipping cool and refreshing cocktails all afternoon, the “magic hour” approaching, the beach emptying, the vibe changing…
…just on my balcony though. Need to plan a trip!
Good sleep last night!
Absolutely thrilled with how this project turned out. Hand-dyed royal blue veg-tan cowhide exterior, interior is completely lined with printed sheep skin. Hand-stitched with violet thread for a subtle contrast. Brass magnetic clasp for a touch of class.
Extremely unusual Sunday morning for me.
Obsessed.
Blue is definitely a popular color 💙
Been dragging my feet on this and I’m not sure why, waiting for the “right time” (thanks for the nudge @miraz) 😊 Anyways, my website where you can commission leather projects is https://amaiken.com. Use micro.blog for 25% off (applies to most items).
Working on a variation for one of my existing leather designs…excited 🙂
Another device sleeve, this one for the client’s iPod Touch 7th generation. Love the simple contrast between the natural balm finish and black thread.
Have been a member of the 5am club so far this week…a goal I’ve been working towards for over a year…this used to be my regular, back when I was more mentally fit. Feels great to be back at it!
