Hollister Hovey's blog (http://hollisterhovey.blogspot.com/) has just flagged up the coolest iPhone case around - a home-made alligator skin cover - which reminds me of how many Victorian & Edwardian cigar cases one sees kicking about boot-sales & antiques markets; can these be bastardised????
It's not the greatest shot but you get the gist....apparently the guy who made it has also done a version in shagreen - that I'd love to see. Out with the needle and thread tonight!
I saw your comment about Rose Uniacke, Do you know her mother's shop too, Hilary Batstone? It is also wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI did indeed - taste obviously runs in the family! She seems to have the painters in at the moment; the entire Pimlico Road is like a ghost town in fact.
