BlondieStylus, thank you for your instructions. I've saved both yours and AnelaBelladonna's for future reference. I have several Oberons so when the mood strikes......  |

I am seriously tempted to do something like this with my blue DaVinci. I've even ordered some blue dye...
Then again, I may just do the wings on my blue Butterfly.

Anelabelladonna and BlondeStylus, thank you for the pictures of your antiqued Oberon's and for the instructions, though I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to do that.
The daVinci looks especially beautiful antiqued. Stunning!!

That would be pretty! Be sure to show us if you do the butterfly change! |

As promised, here is a picture of my antiqued Oberon de Vinci. I used dark brown leather dye, dark brown shoe polish, Old English stained furniture polish, black permanent marker and the sun. This took several days to get it the way I wanted it. In between each application of "stain" I rolled and wrinkled the cover every which way to make wrinkles. I am very happy with the results.  Wow, that is stunning! |

Thank you. I really miss that cover. I sold it when I sold my K3 and bought a Touch. I keep my Touch in an Oberon sleeve but after looking at this picture again, I want to make one just like it for my Touch. |

When Baby K4 first came out, Lovemy4brats mentioned she used a journal cover she had, put velcro in it to use for the K4. Called Oberon, and they wouldn't put velcro in one, so ordered elsewhere and had local cobbler put velcro on back pocket to use for my K4 mini. Had posted in another thread, but am copying here also. Have since rolled it several times to help soften it and make it appear more used. Love it. |

Thank you. I really miss that cover. I sold it when I sold my K3 and bought a Touch. I keep my Touch in an Oberon sleeve but after looking at this picture again, I want to make one just like it for my Touch.
I can just imagine you missing it, it's one of a kind, gorgeous, and had your personal touch. If you'll make another, I'd love to see photos so I can drool over it! |

(Sorry, the picture's kind of blurry because I had to turn off the flash). Thanks so much for posting this!! I have the sleeve in the red roses and wondered if the roses skin matched it! It looks awesome! |

I would like to thank everyone for their pictures. It helped my wife decide what color she wanted. Although I could not find the exact cover, the color was the main concern. She ended up getting the Hokusai Wave in Sky Blue. The cover is great. Thanks Oberon and the people here. I have pictures but I am having a hard time with posting them. This is my first ever post to a board so I am having trouble with the instructions. Thanks again Thanks Cobbie How about these pics. First 2 are in my kitchen and the other 2 are by a sliding glass door     |

qzyksw, welcome to KindleBoards! I'm happy your wife found her wonderful cover. This is my first board and it can be overwhelming so I know how you feel. Here is the thread that explains how to post your photos. I hope this helps. http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,211.0.html

Tabatha, your purple combo is gorgeous. That is my favorite color, and the small journal cover worked perfectly after you had it modified. Thanks for sharing. Teralpar, your combo is beautiful also. I love the screensaver you used for the picture, too. And great choice of skin. Qzyksw, welcome to Kindleboards. I'm glad we could help you wife decide. Nice pictures! And Cobbie has helped me many times figure out how to post pics, so you're not alone, and it gets easier.

Here's my purple Roof of Heaven. It's not quite as blue as these photos show, I'll try again tomorrow when it is sunny. It's more of a plum wine purple.   this is so pretty in the lighter/brighter purple... |

Does anyone know if the small Oberon journal would fit on a Kindle Touch (with velcro added, of course)?
