leather stamp for Toshi Straps handmade leather watch straps

Yesterday my new website went live. The last 4 months have been very busy. The couple of months before Christmas is always a busy time, but on top of that my website had to be completely re-designed and a new website built from scratch around my normal busy schedule, so it’s been a bit too busy if I’m honest. It’s certainly been challenging, and more than a little frustrating at times, but it’s done now and I can get back to what I enjoy – making watch straps.

During the process of designing my new website I decided to create a new logo to go with it. As well as the main logo, I also decided to create a site “icon” – a small, round logo that would appear in the browser tab when people are on my website and that I would also use on my social media pages. I wanted something simple and small and decided it could also be used as a stamp for the leather straps that I make, so I commissioned a hand stamp and it arrived a few days ago. Here it is in extreme close-up (the stamp is 10mm diameter) with the stamp impression on a piece of Lime leather.
