Before the Card Wallet Arrives

Before the Card Wallet Arrives

On a white countertop over a bottle-green dining table, the lid pops open with a "ding" — today's ingredient is a single sheet of leather. It's sliced with a half-moon knife, swish-swish, and tapped with a chisel, tap-tap. For "Will the thread come loose?", two needles cross like chopsticks to stitch it through; for "What about the edges?", a rolling-pin-like slicker polishes them smooth; for "Will the color change?", a kitchen timer ticks around and the leather deepens to a golden brown. Three cards slide in, one-two-three — "Done!" — and the last question: "What color will my wallet turn out to be?"
