Having just bought my wife a Kindle, i decided to make the protective cover myself rather than buy the rather naff Amazon cover.

Whilst thinking of a theme, i felt that the steampunk thing was really apt for an electronic book...so designed the stamping to reflect that.

Its coloured using a few different Fiebings dyes - my favourite is most definitely the English Tan.

Since i took the photos, i have adapted it slightly with a tongue at the top to stop the kindle from sliding out if the cover was carried upside down.

My wife is really pleased with her kindle and cover, and i'm really proud of the finished item...

love to hear your comments...

I like it a lot. Steampunk style is starting to grow on me. Tandy is starting to support it more and more and will come out with more of it in the coming months. I want to do one like that but add some real metal rivets or a gear or two. The colors are great.

yeah...i've been thinking how my next one will be incorporating some brass extras. I already have a bag of tin watch cogs that could be used, but i need to develop my ideas before jumping straight in (which is usually my problem!)

thanks for the kind comments...i do feel a smug "i made that!" glow whenever i see my wife reading her kindle.

i'm now trying to think of ways to expand the look into some of my other project ideas!
