    Latest projects- or, How I'm paying for 2 months of martial arts training!

    I made a cell phone case for my wife, and an iPhone case for my brother as Christmas presents. My martial arts instructors are old friends of mine, so I had to take the cases to class tonight to show them. I have an order for one of each, in exchange for 2 months of class! These are made to be worn with 2.25 inch kilt belts, so I'm going to change up the design just a touch, but here they are! I'm really rather proud of these!

    Good trade, Hawk.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    My instructor has been named as the founder of his own style. He bases it in Shotokan karate, with a lot of jujitsu and tiger style kung fu thrown into the mix. The International Santen Karate Association, which is who our school is affiliated with, hasn't yet figured out what to call it.

    Thanks! My brother has 3 kids and one wife, so there is one acorn on there for each of them, plus my brother's initials- which makes 5 nuts!
