Watch out for the We Make page to see them.
We have been exploring wood and we find ourselves mindlessly falling in love with the mesmerising grains and its rich textures. We went shop hoppin near Gita Mandir to find a few shops. So, now wood is our new muse and we have started working on toys , musical instruments , other random stuff. Also the machines in our workshop are being actively utilized and explored, and many mannny torn tattered and abused sanding sheets are piled around. Watch out for the We Make page to see them.

Book binding goes back to the time paper came into existence. It has evolved into an art form and science. A bit on book binding can be found here.
So after getting our hands dirty on leather we marched towards the medium we love, Paper. After the leather diaries post, we have started working with actual diaries. We have been busy waxing our threads and binding papers which we had sourced from Khadia (do check out the map here to locate it). Work in progress pictures up here. We'll be chopping off the rough edges and uploading the final pics soon. We have been fascinated with leather since the time we saw the Tanner Goods video on youtube. It stuck us how a material can be so versatile and beautiful. We went crazy looking for the best videos we could find on leather working. After we got a hang of the things we started went out looking for leather in the city of Ahmedabad. We came across Gheetkanta, a place in the by lanes of old city. Gheekanta has been generous with its leather availability. We came across some really cool raw textures and earthy colours. We could get hold of some tools others we made on our own and then some tools which were never meant to be used for leather were also experimented with. A preview of whats happening.
