I was on my way home from work the other day with my friend/colleague/partner in crime, and passed a shop selling leather goods which the owner was personalising to order. I bought five of these bookmarks blank, and told him I was going to decorate them myself. His response? 'Oh, yes you can do some pretty flowers or something can't you.' Ooh, that got my feminist hackles rising!!
(PS I must admit that I struggle with the whole leather thing. As a vegetarian I feel that I shouldn't be buying animal products if I can possibly help it. Hmm... Also, the smell of the leather as it's burning really turns my stomach :( So, I think I will be mainly working on wood from now on.)
