Laska Report post Posted March 24 Ave, ahoj, and howdy. Call me Laska. I've been interested in leather since as far back as I can remember. I've experimented with a little of this n' that through the years -- tooling and stamping, fixing belts and boots, braiding and plaiting cording for jewelry -- but I've never had the funds to really dive into this art. Well, my birthday hit a week ago, and someone who loves me handed me a small pile of dream grease to do with as I pleased. The only thing that I could think to spend it on was leather stuff, and so, I've been focusing on this a lot since then. I still have some old tools and hardware from half-hearted projects, but it's barely fit for practice. So, I was happy to find this forum full of knowledgeable folk where I could casually browse through old conversations and also ask questions, while working on my shopping list. Y'all seem like a cool bunch and I look forward to meeting ya. Leather aside, I'm also an outdoorsy, artsy, and somewhat geeky chick. I'm happier to spend a week camping and rockhounding than in an elite resort. I'd rather shoot tasty pigeons-- cans off of a fence than get my nails did. I draw and make things with my hands, but nothing particularly interesting. I play video games and own a pinball machine, but I have just as much fun doing jigsaw puzzles or reading a book. I grew up with offensive, insensitive humor and I'm sure that it made me a better person than I would have been were I raised in a sterile, sheltered environment. I have, or, I used to have, friends from all walks of life, until the Division Bell stirred the weaker among them to choose sides. I can still get along with pretty much anyone, even if our individual views don't gel. Thorny friendships are better than bitter ex-friendships, in my humble opinion, so I'll hold on whenever possible, but I won't cry over spilled politics. So.. what song is currently stuck in your head? If you link it here, I promise I'll give it a listen. Thanks much for reading. I'll catch ya when I do.

Sorry so late getting back but I am not a forum 24/7 person I like to get out and live i see you like most the things I do like rock hunting my grand mother was a rock hound and taught me. Her #1 rule when walking creeks was. Never try looking for rocks during the middle of ghe day. The sun in the morning or evening cast a shadow around an arrow head that makes it easier to spot a song? here is one of my fav of all time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frodo Report post Posted March 30 I find these guys very interesting Mongolian culture meets the west rock and roll they sing what I’d called throat singing and use a sitar (sp?). With a bow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
