I've been making an "arts...

I’ve been making an “arts and crafts” PDA since last winter, inspired by this site. It’s made with “washi” handmade paper cards from the Japanese store Mujirushi Ryouhin (just called Muji in the west, I think) and uses a Gachuck steel clip (maybe called Power Clipper over there).

Sorry, Japanese text only, but you can see a really low-res, crappy picture of it at least.

washi PDA

and for a laugh, here’s the machine translated version

There’s also a “Poor man’s Moleskine” (a cheap muji notebook covered with lacquer…)
