Last night I recovered my camera strap with grey patent leather. It took about 10 minutes. Lickety split, hu? Seriously, what can’t you do with leather & PVA glue?
After I finished up the cover, I felt like it looked a little plain, so I made a little decal with the name of my camera: Sigurson. I name my electronics, by the way. I have quite a few baby names that I know will never be used for an actual baby, so I pawn them off on my electronics. My external hard-drive is Betsy, after my grandmother; my iPhone is Juniper, after Benny & Joon and my camera is Sigurson, after Sherlock Holmes’s Smarter Brother: AKA Gene Wilder. While everyone I know hates the name Sigurson, it fits my camera perfectly. Do you name your electronics?
Also, I named my bike. Persephone, Sephie for short. She’s queen of the underworld & only comes out for spring/summer. So fitting for my bike. I think I need to make a decal for my bike, too.
I so love that you name your electronics!
I love it! What a clever girl you are.
of course, I name all of my inanimate objects.
I totally name inanimate objects too, they do have personalities after all ;)
M, I love this!! Is that a vinyl decal? And the site redesign, OMG! It looks amazing!
Cool! I don’t name my electronics, I can’t find the perfect name =P
Love your bikes name though!

i name all my things. my camera is lucy :)
I definitely named my car Naples. That’s where she was shipped from (Flordia) so it became her name. hehe.
That’s fabulous! No, I don’t name my belongings, but I do name items I make :)) My sock monkeys, or as I have fondly renamed them, Punk Monkeys. Ernest, Binky, Buster…
how fun! my macbook pro is named Baby cause I treat it so well haha. my car is called Little blue as it is a little blue honda civic.. i also love finding nemo :)
Melissa, this post made me chuckle…you’re too funny! I don’t name my electronics, but always our cars, and events like going to bed is “got to beeps”…
My Ipod is Stewie simply because it requested a name and Family Guy was the first thing I thought of. My fabulous custom built vintage cruiser is the “Brooke-cycle” (because I helped build it and I supply the power, not because I’m bi, although I’m realizing now that this name could be interpreted in that way).
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who names my gadgets and things. I used to have an old Russian camera which, naturally, came to be known as Boris. I also have a big dragon ornament, its a mother dragon with her egg, I call it Norbert (the mommy is Norma, the egg is Egbert).
I’m in love with this idea! Can you PLEASE tell me more about your process? Leather + PVA glue … then how did you do the decal? And… now I think I need to name my new camera :)
