i soaked the leather in water for half an hour to get it to tighten. then i molded it into its final shape. 

no glue needed.

  

  

i made a number of these classic trays in different sizes. for cards, coins, keys, pencils...

thank you for giving me this opportunity.
i made chopsticks' sleeves for the thai-themed table that da + kirsten created 
for dining by design, a charity event in princeton.

exterior,

vegetable tanned leather

i think the sleeves could also work beautifully for letters or papers... or anything else that could use wrapping

just adorable. they're three and five, exactly same ages as my nieces. 
my nieces are more than 6000 miles away. my sister sends me their pics almost every day. 
my iphone's bursting but i can't stand to erase them... 

hope these bags will be filled with candy.
trick or treat!
