not on the leather...

i found a really awesome simple, old, soft, worn out leather coin pouch at the flea market this weekend and it reminded me that I had gotten a really old travel wardrobe carrier thingy made of old worn leather at the goodwill to use for it's supple leather. oh yeh, i said supple.
i thought I would experiment on my machine since I hadn't tried my had at leather yet...it wasn't so bad, but had it been any thicker, it might have caused problems.
here's the result. a simple little pouch. (will post the flea mkt find later)
i'm thinking hip pouches out of this will be nice.

packaging

i really love the packaging for forest milk, and i bet the milk is delicious out of that nice glass bottle. i wish we all had more access to things like forest milk, for multiple reasons.

here's what i found:
"The cows which produce this milk are free to roam an unused forest all year round. The milk is supposed to taste better, the theory being that happy cows produce better milk. We like the way the tree graphic reflects the typography as well as the simple yet charming addition of tissue paper covering the bottle cap. Nominated for a Japanese 2009 Good Design Award."
"The cows in forest farms are allowed to roam free, and are not given any imported feed. The milk is low-temperature pasteurized, and is said to have a slight green tint at times."

collection

i am obsessed with vintage refrigerator bins/drawers/crispers, etc.
ObSessed.
this is by far the most favorite of any collection i have going, and i have alot of collections.
i don't know what it is about these metal pieces of history that bring me that warm-hearted 'love' feeling, outside of their beauty and functionality, but I would go great lengths to make my collection grow.
*update*--i have a new one added to my collection, thanks to Carolyn & David and their keen flea market eyes.....introducing, The Humidrawer!

pole dancing vs. black market

it's amazing, the illegal/immoral thoughts that race through your mind for 27 minutes when thinking of creative money-making schemes to replace the $1,400 in someone else's cash you just thought you lost.

regarding work

headphones are a must if you don't want to go completely batshit crazy.

would like to live in these colors.

Shop Update

A lame attempt to try to lure in some sales....a few bags I already had made...and hopefully more to come soon. The current projects are more military-inspired, solids, rustic and unisex themed. The Holga shots are all from the past year or so. Mostly ones I aim to soon hang in my own house.

Here is a peek at what's currently in the shop

im having technical difficulties.
