No accounting for individual taste Not the poor rhino's fault he was born ugly.

Ugliness in the eyes of the beholder....

This are my first attempts of leather tooling, would appreciate your opinion, remember I don't have the professional tools, all my tools are makeshift one that I have made from bolts. It impossible to find them here, and the one I have ordered have not arrived yet.

It is, & relaxing, soothing, satisfying...however you want to express it. I never tried making my own patterns; don't draw that well. I've combined elements of different patterns to make up my "own" patterns, though. Shortly after I started, I tooled the front panel insert of a briefcase with such a pattern. The finished product showed a bird-hunting scene, with a Ringneck Pheasant flushing in front of a pointing bird dog, & a hunter about to shoot the pheasant. It was rather rough compared to the quality of workmanship I was able obtain later, but I was proud enough of it to carry it for many years before the latches broke. I always wanted to redo the front, but somehow never did.

Cyndi died yesterday. Well, overnight. Very annoying considering that I spent over a week getting her better.

So sorry. I have been luckier. So far my two boys are improving.
