    MA+ Inspired Card Case



    At the suggestion of JohnFG, I created a card case using a bit more of the calf leather I have. After thinking about it some, I came up with the idea of a hook-eye closure that runs through a slit in the leather and clips in and anchors itself to the "eye" portion of the hook-eye that is hidden in the interior of the front of the card case.













    It thus retains a lovely minimalist silhouette.




    I've made two (one for myself and one for JohnFG) and it's going to be a piece I carry with me when a wallet isn't practical!




    Leather is such an interesting material to work with. It's stretchy and quite durable so you don't have to worry about such things as fraying and thus different techniques and ideas can be applied to leather that otherwise wouldn't be as elegant if you were trying them on fabric.

    Ha, that's a great idea. The hook eye closure is a very nice touch.

        This is my favorite so far. Really simple, but quite elegant.

            Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with this one :)




            Hehe, it's not my desk but an antique asian chest that's part of the decoration of the apartment here in Berlin. I'm still thinking about building a nice desk when I get back to the states in sort of a broken down/old style.
