Something else being created!

I have been creating various things and filling my mind with ideas.

I handmade this phone cover using the brown real leather. 

I was really happy with the outcome. 

Every time, I look at these beautiful leather, I love the scent and start thinking what I can create.

All of these leathers are from Portugal and I had to find a way to get some here in China. 

Therefore, I went to Guangzhou to the leather market and they had just about anything.

These are the leathers that I bought and I cant wait to go there again. Lucky me being so close to Guangzhou!

I had a great time walking and looking around. They do have anything that you can think of. They have supplies of all the materials that you need to create things.

I missed my bookbinding art. Therefore, I went back to creating leather journals. This journal is very well organized with forms that you can write down your own informations on the first page.




As you can see, on the last page is an envelope to hold some of your important small papers or anything that you think you might want to get back to!

This is a DIY wallet that I have also created:


And last but not the least, I created a passport holder:

Ceramic and bookbinding

Creating is already part of my life. I enjoy so much because I get to focus on what I want to create, think of the colors and patterns....and forget about the rest of the world!!!

This foto was taken during my pottery classes. It does seem easy but not if you are trying for the first time. But then with time, you just enjoy, even though it takes a lot of patience and time.

I have been creating some little tea cups with patterns on them.




This foto was taken in my pottery school and you can see works of lots of the students there. Some of them are very professional already!


These are the little tea cups that I have created using bronze colors matching with white color!

Since I have been working on bookbinding, I wanted to create something unique.  Therefore, I have been talking to my dear friend who is an artistic herself and she gave me an idea....she told me, since I am creating various things, why dont I apply them together and create something of my own!!!
Therefore, I decided to make some experience with ceramic by applying some patterns to them. Here you can see them in different colors and patterns. Now, I need to design how to put them on my bookbinding Journals. I already have some slight ideas.....you will just have to wait and see!!! :0)

Working on new painting 😉
