I couldn't add this picture to the calendar listing, so I'm plugging it in here so you can see what the class is really about. Hope to see you there!

yaklady Report post Posted September 30, 2008 As long as no one starts throwing sharp objects at me for making them do all this stuff to their leather, it'll be a great class! Kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clay Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Well the class was lots of fun. Kathy is a great teacher!! The students were all having a lot of fun. The project was challenging but not too hard. I think I may be the first leatherworker to get a blister on the top of my finger while modeling in all of the lines on the lumber part of the picture. So of course I recieved expert medical attention...no wait that was expert comical heckling from the other students and especially the teacher. I hope to have Kathy back in Rapid City soon for another class.....I was having too much fun and forgot to take pictures so Kathy or Ernie will have tp supply them. ClayM.

yaklady Report post Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Clay really deserves an award for having a blister on the back of his finger! Who ever heard of such a thing?! Next time I go to Rapid City to teach, I'm taking mole skin along. If Clay can work up a blister by using a modeling spoon, could you imagine what he would look like after stitching or basket weaving? ) I only took a few pictures, and will be happy to share. Clay B probably has some better ones. He may decide to share as well. These are of each of the students, Bert and Ernie (Clay and Clay), Don and Rick. These guys were easy to teach, they actually listened to me! They were a lot of fun. I look forward to the time I can return to Rapid City and do it again.

Crystal Report post Posted October 22, 2008 Very nice work, everyone. Looks like it was a really fun project! Kathy, it looks like you are a great teacher to be able to get everyone to turn out all those wonderful pices. ClayM (Bert), ahh, yours is backwards - could be why you got a blister...

Clay Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Crystal LOL that has got to be the reason!!! I am inside out!! I think that Kathys camera is a portal to another dimension and that is not really me!!! Bert aka ClayM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClayB Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Wasn't just Kathy's camera Bert. I think it's your picture from the class that is the portal. Check this out from my camera. I tried half a dozen times to load the rest of the pictures of the class on here this morning and it just refuses to let me. I give up. Maybe I'll try again this weekend. It was a fun class and a great weekend. Thanks for inviting Kathy to teach in your store, and for your family's hospitality. Hope we get to do it again sometime.

Clay Report post Posted October 24, 2008 whoa now that is creepy!!!! i dont know what to say about that!! lol Bert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yaklady Report post Posted October 24, 2008 Oh my gosh, it's Galaxy Quest! You're like the pig thing that turned inside out and exploded! I hope you didn't get slime all over your store. Yuk! My students were like Galaxy Quest, too. There were the Thermians, and believed everything I told them, just the way they believed Tim Allen on the movie. I never experienced that before, usually my students argue with me about something. Maybe for my next class, we could do the Andromeda System, and it can "change our lives". Or we could put Bert's triplets on leather. It will be difficult keeping the leather still. It was indeed a great weekend! Great company, great hospitality like Ernie said, great fun playing in Bert's workshop after class, and great fun playing with those 3 cute little kids! Thank you for having me!

ClayB Report post Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Gonna try and add my pictures from the class one more time. Somebody got a hold of my camera, dang I look old! Rick hard at work Don working on his project Kathy and Rick Don and Ernie Rick getting some personal attention from the teacher kathy's mountain scene carved Kathy's picture Rick's finished picture Bert's finished picture Don's finished picture Ernie's finished picture Either this class really wore Don out or somebody needs to check his oxygen tank quick! Bert's picture when it's not being a portal to the twilight zone Bert working on getting a blister Cant forget a picture of the teacher Edited October 25, 2008 by ClayB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yaklady Report post Posted October 26, 2008 Clay, can you zoom in on Bert's finger so we can see that blister? Whoever that was who got ahold of your camera did a fine job. It brings out the real you, much older than the young 29 year old instructor! Kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
