What other hobbies do you have?

[Billy P]

I love to fish, for bream and largemouth bass. I used to fish alot of bass tournements was actually pretty good at it. The last tourny, I fished I won over $400, our Bass Club at work. Some of those guys were fishng Fishers of Men tour, some the Redman Trail, so I felt i did pretty good, usually consistant in the money. Ialso like to grow Tomatoes and hot Pepper. I don't eat very much hot stuff, but like to grow it to give to people around here who do like it. The last couple of years due to health issues I haven't been able to fish as much or work the land in my garden spot like it needs. Diabetes, 2 Heart attacks, nerve damage from the diabetes, and Pulmonary Fibrosis (COPD), on Oxygen, LOL, it's hard to run a tiller while dragging a oxygen tank. It makes me get the rows crooked. I still go fishing with one of my friends sometimes, but he works and my wife won't let me go bye myself anymore. Billy Perdue

When I have time left over from beating dead cows I like to paint.

I paint in oil, acrylic or aquarelle. When I lived in Sweden I had a couple of shows per year in and around Stockholm area. Most of the photos below are unfortunable in a bad quallity, I had my share of computer crashes and all of the original is gone:-(

This is just a small selection, many of them belongs in a series of paintings.

My god, tina those paitings are stunning. The corsets are beautiful too, but I don't think i could get away with wearing them to work though lol. You are one talented lady!!

Hi Anne,

I wrote you a note last night with some info.

Some quick info, I started out using McCalls number 3609 pattern. It's a basic Vistorian corset pattern that can be changed for other models in the future and great to start out with. Here's some good link to buy busks, bones and such:

Pip,

Thanks a lot:-) I'm one of them people that likes to try out as many different things as possible in this lifetime...Some things will disappear with time but to paint and beating cows will always stay.

Hey, I make corsets for men too (or use to);-)

After the show in Sheridan, my family and I went to Yellowstone for a couple of days. There, I found two skulls from elk cows which were probably winter kill. Thier bones were all knawed on by many other creatures, and smelled pretty bad. For some reason, no one wanted me to bring the skulls home. At least I have a picture, so I can pretend I added one to my collection! The other one I failed to get a picture of. It would have been difficult to put in the trunk, as it had most of the backbone attached. How sad, I don't have one like that!
