i made this rubber stamp

i stumbled upon a couple of blogs on personalised rubber stamps.  so, i gave it a couple of tries.  i bought a pack of cheap erasers and made them into a few stamps.   i tried carving my signature into a piece of eraser.  i made a few futile attempts.  the eraser is too small and i kept skidding and messed up the lettering.  so i decided to just carve the necessary letters onto each end.  just a "y" and a "u".

my signature - printed by a piece of eraser.

a "y" at one end

and a "u" at the other end.  this "u" can turn into an "n".

it is just lovely.  carving rubber stamps can be quite addictive :o

handmade bag - pistachio vanilla in the making

that's ida's hands holding the bag.  to give you a
fair impression
of the relative size of the bag.

a totally different look from the earlier bags.  i designed this bag and my cousin ida helped me to put together the prototype.  ida and i agreed to name this bag "pistachio vanilla".  it is a hobo bag.  and i love the serene look of this bag.  

status: prototype testing

another flip n sew

my lil sis came back from india for holiday.  she brought me a couple of plain cotton yardage in various shades of purple.  i did another flip n sew with these purple pieces and it turn out fabulous against the light coloured leather trimmings.  i am definitely going to turn this into a bag.  i'm just not sure which design to use.

nonetheless, the bag is going to be named "the stripey aubergine".  more pics on stripey aubergine click here.
