A Letter to Anton

Oh i quite like this design indeed. It's pretty quick to finish it.

I have to say do not have the final design in mind from the first place, it's normally evolve as i am working on the product.

Hope Anton will like it.

Handmade leather pouch

OK, i am trying to do something different and more complicated.

This little pouch took me around 3 hours to complete, because i took a lot of time to do the calculations.

Look forward to making the fourth creation soon, may be for our rock star Anton.

Leather Factory Roberu from Toyko

I found out this brand in the U Magazine today. The team from Roberu made good and stylish stuff!! Let's see another interview by Silly Thing: http://think-silly.com/2010/02/10/leather-factory-roberu-feature/
I got a lot of inspirations. It has given me more faith to create small and practical leather goods in the days to come! Let's hope that i carry some of my father's gene in making good leather products! Two important men in my life had inspired me! Thank You!

Happy Birthday, Carol!

Carol loves my leather iphone case so much, and actually she wanted one!

I should get this done for her, but i always enjoy doing a different project every time. So i decided to make her an octopus card holder. I hope she will like it.

I like there are some details, such as the birthday tag and the ribbon, in this project.

What should i make next?

My First Handmade Leather Iphone Case

I don't know why i had so much faith last week to have my first leather handmade iphone case completed within the weekend.

I was sleepless one of the nights last week, and i had come up with more than 6 designs of iphone case. And i decided to make a trip to Sham Shui Po today (Saturday) to purchase all the materials i will need. Ah Lun had a few hours break and he came along with me to the leather shop. I have got a dark brown leather with some unique marks on the surface. We both like the thickness and the colour of the leather.

Ah Lun has been learning so many techniques from the books, and it's much easier to learn from him direct, and skipping all the reading time, haha! I made the short cut, thanks to him.

Tic tac tic tac......after a couple of hours, the product is finished. I feel so proud of myself after completing my very first leather product. I like the unpolished effect of the iphone case, which fits my style and personality!

2010 Buisness Trip #2 - Taipei (Day 3)

Another local Taiwanese restaurant I tried today with Emirates Taiwan representative. As their name shows, they are chicken specialist. Apart from the signature 3-colour chicken dish, I also love the fried oyster roll too, something like the spring roll we eat in Hong Kong.
I also went to the industrial zone (similar to Kwun Tong in HK) after work to find out a specialty leather craft shop. They sell all types of tools and craft materials. I bought so many stuff, and we are going to have some more experiemnts on our leather craft hobby very soon. Stay tuned.
