well, i took some time this weekend to make myself a journal cover...for the moleskine journals i carry...something off the beaten trail stylistically for me..shake the tree a bit, ya know

i carry a book where ever i go at work and have been wanting to improve on my original, "a little too rough for prime time" cover (which didnt keep my from carrying to all my muy importante meetings , butt of course!!) - which got cut up to be added to the parts bin..whilst i was making this

anyway, i had a nice piece of leather which i believe came from Duane some 2 years or so ago - which fit the purpose perfect, lined it with a suede split thing i bought from god knows where...and used one of my signature birdcage snaps to keep the important papers under cover, and a scrap from a toolbag strap i made some while ago, skived down nice - kept my sewing nice and tight on the edge and the corners, used my econosew table machine and there ya have it

this one ready for prime time, ya think?

You had better watch out or you'll be making alot of those. Good work. What type of snap is that?

Steve, What you call a "rut" for me would be a "creative spurt"! :spoton: As always Beautiful!

I really like the stamps you used...are they seeder type stamps or a combination?
