me too.. the only reason I was put off is because when it's folded over the fish will be headless and that would irritate me slightly.

Miyazake films was exactly what I thought when I saw your one too! and picked that one for my friend since she loves them so..

my favourite ones are all archived unfortunately..

^^yeah there are so many great ones that are no longer available..
i received an email yesterday after i ordered telling me that that little bird with the umbrella is no longer available

so i didn't manage to get it after all...

but the woman from greenergrassdesign.com was really great about helping me find an alternate one in stock--she even sent me an email with some that they hadn't officially put up on their site yet.. which was very cool of her to do imo

ooh those hand-drawn hand-painted ones are gorgeous

have any of these arrived at your houses yet? I wonder what the print is on, if it's a vinyl wallet or something...

[ChrissyM]

^this is the product description on greenergrassdesign.com:

Quote:

Made with durable vinyl, the wallets contain 3 slots for credit cards, a bill slot, and a change purse. The wallet is 8.5" x 3.75" open, but folds perfectly to fit in your pocket (4.25" x 3.75").

so they are made of vinyl

[gius]

thank you
i should have checked that myself
it would be interesting if they printed it themselves
it would shoot the price up though, for sure

i'm trying to figure out if i can actually print on vinyl

[ChrissyM]

oooh...
are you looking to make your own poketo-style wallet
i'd be interested in seeing that if you can make it work

[ChrissyM]

they've got a bunch of new wallets up on the poketo website

and just as an update, these went over really well when i gave them out as christmas gifts
everyone wanted to see what everyone else's looked like and where the artists were from etc..
pretty cool, i think!

though everyone seemed a little confused at first as to what they actually were

[strawberry daiquiri]

My friend really liked hers as well... I only managed to use mine for about a week though, cause I have far too much stuff to fit in it

[ChrissyM]

i haven't used mine yet for the same reason

i think i'll reserve it for travelling and going out when i only want a limited amount of cash on me..
