Handmade: Washable Leather Notebook Cover

Brought this washable leather few months ago and leave it in the storeroom,

due to the busy lifestyle I had in these few months, and so much college works need to be settle, 

so din get to do much craft.

Finally get myself some free time after a camp I joined, 

used less than an hour to make this, is a notebook cover

pretty easy and simple!!!!

Snapped the process, and I think it's easy to understand through the photos.

 You could try it out when you are free! ^^

Looking good huh? 

Truly loving this notebook, hahahahah...what about you?

Wishing you a blessed day!

XDXD

Thoughts before & after my exhibition

Lomography shop in Taipei

Grab a chance to pay a visit at Taiwan Lomography shop

It was a rainy day, after having lunch at the opposite restaurant, I entered this shop

 Such an interesting place with lots of little surprise.

Lots of camera being shown when I first entered the shop, it raise up my excitement,

and......I have no idea where should I start from

最近到台湾一趟，有机会到Lomo相机店去看看

外面下着雨，在对面吃了午餐后，就进去这间店

一个很特别，藏着许多惊喜的地方

一进门，玲琅满目的相机出现在眼前，好兴奋啊，

但.......我不知道要从何开始逛起

  

I flipped trough some books, look at the cameras, glance through the small photos beside the camera

My eyes work like scanner, tiring yet happy.

hahahahah

我翻着一些书，看看相机，浏览着放在相机旁边的小相片

眼睛像扫描机，很累，却好开心

哈哈哈哈

Most of the camera has a very nice packaging

(I'm sorry, it has became my habit since I started to be in Graphic Design field, haha) 

There are lots of different kind of LOMO cameras and also different choices of colours

Such as: Fisheye, Diana Mini, Diana F+, Lubitel, La Sardina, Sprocket Rocket, Horizon, LC A, Holga, Pinhole camera, and some other Russian Cameras which I can't recognize them.

几乎每一个相机的包装都好精致（设计师的职业病，哈哈哈哈）

光是相机的种类和颜色也就有好多好多的选择

像是：鱼眼相机, Diana Mini, Diana F+, Lubitel, La Sardina, Sprocket Rocket, 

Horizon, LC A, Holga, 针孔相机, 还有一些不知名的俄罗斯相机。

(对不起，有些我不知道它们的中文名字)

Some lomography books are being placed on the glass cabinet

Introducing the photos taken by lomographer around the world.

Nice photos!!!

店里的玻璃橱柜上也放了一些专门介绍国外LOMO爱好者所拍摄照片的书

照片都好漂亮，不错嘛！！！

There are some lomography films hanging around the corner, not cheap but pretty cool~~

发现有一幅墙上挂满了各式各样的底片，价钱不菲，但都好酷哦！

Inside the shop, there is a small living room, so cute

I guess it provide a place for rest or discuss.

I was carried a heavy backpack, and my eyes turn big when I was the sofas, and quickly sit on it and rest

hahahahah

but my eyes are still working like a scanner, continuously scan this shop

The exhibition wall is just right beside the sofa

and it shows the photography exhibition by the local photographer.

Normally it up for few weeks or a month.

There are professional taken photos I suspect.  

店里的尾端有一个小客厅，好可爱

是给顾客休息或是聊天用的吧

背着沉重的背包，当我一见到有沙发，双眼立即发亮，立马瘫坐在沙发上

哈哈哈哈

但是双眼没有休息，继续扫描这间店，

墙上展览着一些本地摄影师所拍摄的照片

基本上展览为期几个星期，或是一个月。

都是很有水准的照片哦！

This corner is one of my favourite too! 

but the wall behind will made me dizzy after looking at it too long.

hahahah

还有这个角落，也是我好喜欢的位子，但背后那幅墙看久了眼睛会昏花。

哈哈哈

Some cards are placed on the table, should be the card prepared by the photographer

I took each of them home for they are beautiful, hehehe

桌上放着几种卡片，应该是摄影展览的卡片吧

每一张都很漂亮，带回家做留念

Leaves by backpack on the sofa and continue to shop around

I admit that I had a swallow knowledge, most of the film rolls showed here I have never see before.

把背包往沙发一搁 (我未免也太没警觉心了吧~)，继续在店里闲逛

算我知识浅薄，这里陈列着好多旧底片卷，我几乎都没看过

Almost giving it a shout when I saw LC A+ Silver Lake, I'm just in love with this camera

35mm film, and a Russian- made Minitar 1 lens

Love the classy yet vintage style, silver features a chrome body wrapped in brown leather.

Love it so much, but too expensive, so I can only enjoy it in front of the cabinet.

看到这一台LC A+  Silver Lake 我差点喊出来，好喜欢这台相机，

使用35mm 的底片，

同时还配备了原装俄罗斯制造的 Minitar 1 32/2.8 定焦镜头

尤其是它银色机身搭配皮革色，很有复古风味。

真的好喜欢，但是没钱，我也只有看的份了

This is another exhibition wall, enjoy the contrast being made by each photos with different colours 

and each of them has their own speciality. Cool huh?! 

这是其中一个展览墙，好喜欢看那些五颜六色的照片摆在一起时所形成的强烈对比

每一张都有它的特色，这才是它厉害的地方

Found out there is a small aquarium with some cute little gold fishes,

added some colours of life for the shop

橱柜上养着小金鱼，为店里增添一些生命的色彩

What a lovely corner

好喜欢这些不引人目光却又吸引人的小角落

There are some paper art, you would never notice if you don't look clearly

I smiled when I saw the little tiny paper art on the camera

such a cute way to cheer people up

还有一些纸的艺术，不仔细看还真的不知道是什么，

仔细一看，令我不禁嘴角上扬

这种小点缀真的会令人的心情变得好好

Brought this book before I leave

It talks about a girl who use double expose to create images

and all photos are just stunning and awesome~~

Not only that, there is her signature on the book too!!!  

(You can't get it in any other book store, 

because she just had her book launching few days ago in this shop.)

So happy!!!!

在离开前，我买了这本书

一个女生利用重曝的方式来拍摄照片

照片都绝美啊~~~~

重点是里面还有她的亲手签名！！！

（因为她前几天才刚在这里办新书介绍，

所以在其他的书店应该找不到她的亲笔签名）

好开心啊！！

The rain has stopped, is time to move on to the next destination

Handmade: The eye (felt art)

Try out some felt art and did this....

hehehehe

Sketch book: I had a dream.......

Handmade: Felt Art

Received a felt package that day which I ordered online few months ago,

planning to make a felt art.

Sorry for the 1st try, it doesn't look too good for me....

Take it as Claude Monet's kind of drawing would makes you feel better when you look at it~ 

"Impressionism" 

More like applying short, thick strokes of colors quickly 

capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details.

 Hahahahah, just kidding, it's just a suggestion.

那天收到在网上订购的羊毛毡，想说来试一试用羊毛毡来做一幅画

手工笨拙，请见谅

要不就把它想成Claude Monet (克劳德.莫内)的画画风格

"印象派"

这种画的特色是笔触未经修饰却显见，属于视觉艺术

哈哈哈哈哈，开玩笑的，这只是一种建议，并不成代表。

It took me quite some times to find felt in my place,

so that's why when I showed this to my friends, they all look so blur and doesn't know what is this.

But sometimes you could find them selling as an animal key chain or little cake key chain.

Looks pretty, yet cozy too~

It took more time and passion to finish one than just skills.

hahaha...

Good luck for that!

I'm gonna order more to try~ 

这里很难找到羊毛毡这种材料，所以这里的人都对这东西很陌生

但是不难找到用羊毛毡做的小动物或是小蛋糕的钥匙圈

很精致，很漂亮，价格也不菲。

其实并不难做，只是花费的精神与时间比较多。

哈哈哈哈....

加油吧！

我也打算再订购多一些来试试~

My Collection: Felts

Having a colorful and lovely day~~~ 

^^

Handmade: Crochet sun glasses bag

Found out that there are some people making crochet bag online,

which actually make me feels like trying it out, looks fun and it's so tempting!

Even though I'm still a beginner, but why not giving it a try?

and because of that GUTS, yup~ here I go!

在网上看见别人用针织来做包包，好羡慕~
虽然我不怎么会针织，也还是一个初学者，但既然有毛线和材料，

但也就不妨试一试吧！

也因为我的冲动，所以就这样开始我的针织啦！

Using the same technique as making a scarf, it actually helps and became easier than it usually does.

Took me about a week, and I could finally see the result.

  

利用针织围巾的方式来做，似乎简单许多

成品大约在一个礼拜后就出来了

Ohya, I've even sew a inner bag, so that it won't look too boring or empty

(and of course look classy~)

hehehe~ and the bag size is just perfect for a sunglasses.

So good~!

I understand the outlook doesn't look good, hahaha

but good try, and I'm going to try more!!!!

我另外再缝多一个内袋，至少它看起来没有那么空

呵~恰好一个太阳眼镜的位子，太棒了！

虽然外表不怎么好看，哈哈哈~

但至少是个好的尝试，再试多几次吧！
