How to install magnetic snap Tutorial

This is a pictures of finished case, snap installed, nothing is visible from outside, looks neat.

Fish?..Toad?..

I'm keep playing with surface design techniques. Now it's fish shaped cushion with very peculiar eyes! They make it look like a toad actually...

This is how it's bottom look. Both top and bottom are nuno felt with silk fabric to reduce pilling. 


And a close-up of the eye!


Sorry for the quality of the pictures! The weather here is just foul!

Watercolour Kindle Case

Don't remember showing my last Kindle cases... This is one of them picturing Hydrangea flowers (yes,again!). I worked on the background a lot to make it less patchy and more fluid in colour. I'm really pleased with the result!
