I've been doing a little leather work...

[deryk]

I was contemplating what to keep my Provari in and decided I would use some leather scraps I had from the leather hand bound journals I make.

3 tries on the sheath till it came out closer to what I wanted. The holster isn't perfect but I can carry it at work a bit less obviously. Mostly it will live in the sheath on a lanyard.

That's really nice! I thought about doing something like that when I get a P3. I figure my Provari is a little beat up at this point to worry about something like that.

Also, mind PM'ing me about these hand bound journals you make?

That looks pretty nice. Good job. I have a couple of older handbags that I have been looking at with scissors on my mind. I think the leather will be too thick for me to work with easily.

Leather journals are the bomb.

Beautiful altar you have set up! Not something you see every day.

How are the pages bound? Just by looking it seems like the pages are stacked, and then folded in half, with holes(guessing) along the fold line to feed through strips to bind it to the leather.

Nice work! The Provari holders and the journals!

Thanks! rondasherrill, yes the pages are grouped in 50 sheets, hand folded and hand stitched to the leather cover. Its based on medieval book binding techniques I use them for personal journals, and I know some of them have become books of shadow's and such. When I saw my first one years back I said I can do this! It's a labor of love, especially tea staining a few hundred sheets of paper at a time lol.
