TessaBlue Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Okay, so I've actually been a member for almost two years, but this is my first post. Yeah, I know, pretty bizarre. I have nothing to say about that other than I got bit by the leather bug while burying my nose in the back of a leather jacket of a guy I was dating as we thundered our way across multiple states on a Harley, Sturgis bound. Alas, the relationship with the guy didn't work out, but the relationship with leather endured. I have so much to learn. I doubt I'll be able to cram it all in the two or three decades I have left on this world, but I'm gonna try my best to absorb what I can. Thanks for reading. Hopefully soon I'll have photos to post in the gallery! Tessa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill46 Report post Posted October 21, 2015 Well a big Welcome to you, albeit Two years later. What do you enjoy making ? coasters, belts, bags, clothes, ! Were glad your here, and hope some of us here can get all your questions answered for you ! Yes there is a vast amount to learn , but you will not be able to take it all in at once, if ever ! So sit back , relax, and just come at your own pace. Were here to help, not push you into an area where your not yet ready to go. just ask, then study that , and ask again in another direction, ! most of us are willing to give freely ! By the way there are many Harley enthusisests here. Good luck to you --- Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TessaBlue Report post Posted October 21, 2015 Thank you, Wild Bill46! I appreciate the welcome. I'm so new at leather, I'm not sure what all I want to make. I've made a few dog collars, which I very much enjoyed, and I'd like to expand on that a bit, and do some carving/stamping on them. I have a white Boxer named Ripley, and she promised me she'd let me try the collars on her to see how they look. ;-) As for Harley enthusiasts, well... that doesn't surprise me. Harleys and leather kinda sorta go together. I'll likely pick everybody's brain. I love to learn! Tessa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shiek I know there are others from Florida on here but most of us are pretty scattered out. This is a LOOONG state after all. I know there are several people in the southern half of the state but I haven't found anyone up here on the North end. I'm in Alachua. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
