Thread: Leather Notebook Covers - Order Finished

Ruffly,
Most adults have sorted out the need to address the "missing bits", but may I commend you for the link. I had assumed you were going to add an ink well to your leather "Australia-shaped" blotter.
As to your question, yes, I have known a few "FIGJAM's", usually people able to do the talk, but not the walk.
I again commend your competence in so many areas. I think you could do the talk and the walk, but your modesty would prevail. You wold be more a fine Scotch (added) marmalade, no mere jam.
BUT, you have failed to confess/be enlightened to the other jiggy jiggy. Tis a tame environment in Qld, but not a celibate one. In an earlier thread, following the Sharpathon, I recall a reference to your progeny.

Hey - wow, Wendy - I just found this!! Great stuff & I am really happy that it is taking off for you! Nice leather, too!

Cheers,

Jill

They look great Wendy, glad they sold well. The geek in me assumed you meant the computer variety of notebook

Greenie !

Thanks Jill, P.T.C and Oges - considering my work (i.e the 9-5 one), that's a pretty good association

Ah Sea Dragon I've pm'd you.

cheers
Wendy

Wendy, yer a gun Well done.


Cheers..............Sean

As I said Wendy small beginnings ----------- big corp.:eek: :eek: No time for Forum.

Leave Toowoomba for Corp. office in Sydney, manufacture in China.

Well done and yes I had that beer that you suggested.
Will send you a PM.

Peter

i don't care how optimistic you are, that last peice of leather will simply not cover that frame! )

They look rally good Wendy, but sorry, I think mine is better.

Before anyone else jumps on me, Wendy made me one a while back - worth the pens I traded for it.

I take it everywhere with me. I've had many compliments. If you want me to advertise them for you, just let me know, I'm sure a few at work would like one.

Wendy, I was wondering if your wrists would withstand a corporate order?
Or is leather work easier on them than woodwork?

Ah geez Tash!! you make me laugh :eek:

Neil - I'm so glad it was worth the wait and yes, I do think yours is the best one to date, but wait, there are more coming and more designs brewing too, though I think I'll keep the carved covers for very special orders only.

Houtbok - Absolutely - Let's talk .

The leather work is a great way to pass the evenings and (very) rare rainy weekends. The best bit is that I'm learning an old craft. It's too much fun, too good and useful a craft to let it die out. My wrists hurt just as much as doing woodwork, but at least the needle doesn't dig as deep as the chisel can

Before anyone frets, I'm not giving up my woodwork, but better yet, I'm about to incorporate the two beyond using leather as a box lining. The ideas are still coming together, but I hope, they will be interesting and effectual.

Time for some updated pictures:

Pic 1 - 3 brown covers - 2 x A6 size (half a standard size piece of paper, eg photocopy paper) and one flip cover - aim is to fit in a gentleman's shirt pocket ( I couldn't stand seeing my Dad use an ugly yellow plastic one )

Pic 2 - My Leather WorkRoom

Pic 3 - Local SheOak Tool stand - unfinished as I needed it so badly

cheers
Wendy
