Patent Leather Camera Strap
April 5, 2011Last 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.
