Moleskine leather cover



Hi,

I have designed and made myself a Moleskine leather cover using the hand dying technic again as I did with the phone cases here and here.

Here is the design I did to understand roughly how I will make it.


I made the cover for a Moleskine sketch, the first I buy as I was using Moleskine plain before and I have been super disappointed when I realized the paper was absolutely not working with markers, it literally drinks the ink and the results are absolutely awful, I do not know what to do with it now, that's quite a shame because I loved the paper and I got a beautiful leather cover now...

Here are some pictures of the finish product.

New hand-made leather cases

Hi there,

I have just completed two lovely leather phone cases and experimented a process to transfer ink in the leather and it seemed to work pretty well, again the leather is hand/hand stitched, 100% hand-made.

Two new phone cases, one for Iphone 4 and one for HTC wildfire.
Leather edges finishing detail, lining is made of lamb with a natural finish.

Phone case

Here is a phone case I designed, nothing really exciting in term of shape or concept actually, that's why I decided to "antiguish" the leather to make the whole thing a bit more interesting.

Following the design is the finish product I made using hand-dyed calf crust.
