Beautiful work on the leather and you're a good photographer, too. The spider was a little startling when I scrolled down but I can appreciate the skill and artistry required for taking the picture. Thanks for sharing. :grin:

Awesome spider picture and leather work! Im super impressed with the leather. Do you sell or is it purely hobby?

I lived in Alaska for awhile as a child and loved to fish and camp! I even caught a King Salmon once in the Kenia river that was bigger than I was at the time :shock: it started pulling me into the river and my brother had to come rescue me It looks like you play derby, too? I'm a life-long skater myself, but only lasted a few months in derby :-( as much as i love skating, the dramaramma in derby can get a little nuts :crazy:

Thanks for sharing

Love seeing these! I teach Pre-K and every year we do a spider unit in October. May I use your spider photo?

Thank you. The leather thing is a hobby. Something I started doing about 8 years ago for fun.
Wow, I'd love to fish in Alaska! I want to catch one of those enormous Halibut, and Salmon would be lovely too.
Yes, I've been in derby for about three years. The drama can sometimes rear it's head, but for the most part it's a lot of fun. It keeps me in shape and I've met some great friends there.

No need to apologize. It's a fabulous photo. I was just startled because I wasn't expecting it and I drink too much caffeine. I certainly can't complain since I posted pics of a spider soap last year.

Wow, that's a big flounder! It is a flounder right? And I love the pic of the spider Good work!

It's a California Halibut. Thanks!

Oh, okay. ((Pointing at myself)) NOT a fisherlady!!!! LOL! As a matter of fact I won't even let my hubby clean fish anywhere close to me anymore........or at least for a very long time to come. :/ Bad experience the last time he brought home a bunch of fish.

 

[Ruthie]

You sure can!

Thanks! Those lil critters will love this one!

Though my gear has been in the States for a few years, I still consider tying flies (and flyfishing, of course) as one of my great hobbies.

 

[dagmar88]

Wow, that leather is amazing!

 

[Eflite]

I like the leather tooling.
Cheers,

Mark, my dh ties flies, teachers fly tying and also fly fishes in salt and fresh water, he also makes lures out of wood and spray paints blanks for lures, makes knives as well.

The leather is amazing and fish is wonderful. I hope you ate it. I love flounder (it is a flounder right?). It would be fun to start a photo album thread of our other hobbies. I do wood turning and make pens, knives, key chain crafts and honey dippers on a mini lathe. It would be fun to show some of them off.
