LedoMetio Report post Posted December 8, 2014 Hello Leatherworker's Community! My name is Melanie, and I come from a small village in Germany. I am happy of having found this wonderful website, and I am looking forward to get in contact with other leather workers to exchange pictures or getting tips from you well-experienced leather artists, since I am infected by the leather bug for several months now and just can't stop carving, tooling and stitching! The gallery shows wonderful pieces of art, and I hope to train my skills to reach this level of experience, too (as well as my English, sorry for the mistakes...) So, happy tooling!

Itch Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Hi! Ich komme aus dem schönen Westerwald, etwa 40km von Koblenz entfernt. Was hat dich in die USA verschlagen? Mein Mann ist schuld. Ich habe ihn vor 17 Jahren geheiratet waehrend meines Florida Urlaubs. Und dann musste ich eben hier bleiben. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raysouth Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Hello Melanie, and welcome to the site. Happy that you have found this great place to share and learn. No longer good enough to write in German but still have the ability to read and speak, to some extent. My time in Germany found me primarily in Nurnberg, the largest city I frequented, and small villages in that area such as Stein, Gebersdorf, Zirndorf, Furth, Ansbach, and more. Enjoyed my time in any part of Germany I had the opportunity to visit. Attempted to visit the entire country and interact as best I could. Many memorable moments for me. I still think of the many friends I made there, places I visited, my workplaces, and the superb selection of foods and beer. Oktoberfest was always fun, Garmisch was adorable, as were many other areas, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, all had special attractions for one to enjoy. I am sitting here, writing this and dreaming of the past. God Bless. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
