Im interested in metallurgy and would love to get the equipment to play with. I love to do jewelry making as it is so interesting learning to play with and work the metal would be awesome! I have an endless list of interests and things I'd like to try. I spend a lot of time alone so I like to want to be able to be totally self- sufficient. Very jealous of/attracted to Eagle Scouts lol. It's a point of pride but also I get a lot of fulfillment by doing things on my own. Id love to have a large garden one day and grow a lot of different fruits and veggies. I'd also like to build my own chicken coop and raise my own chickens for the fresh eggs. Needless to say I'm going to start growing my own marijuana here soon and play with making edibles, topicals, and tinctures. My mom was very crafty, musical, and self- sufficient so I hope to follow in her footsteps in a way. She taught me a lot about life in a very short time... I miss her...

Photography - mostly of clouds, watches and women. I don't shoot women though, just edit pictures.

Cycling - road more than anything.

Design - women's heels, graphic design, CAD, 3D. Still will always feel like I've never figured out AutoCAD etc. completely. Knowing CAD design in shoes is just about the most useless thing ever, but I enjoy it.

I LOVE CLOUDS lol I'd love to see some pics!

Also good at design. Mostly home decor but I have an eye for what looks good on people as well.

I also like just wandering alone. Looking at things sometimes people watch if in public. But mostly I like to watch and enjoy nature. My bf laughs at me/thinks I'm weird bc me and random animals find each other lol

Funny story... when I lived in SoCal (and didn't have glasses) I was walking alone at night and saw a kitty sitting on top of a fence. Here I go... "here kitty kitty... here kitty kitty.." as I approach. Finally I get close enough to start seeing more detail, and sure enough it's an ugly ass opossum lol

I still have not learned my lesson lol MiMi #2 is a kitten who greets me on the way home from the train station. Duke is a tiny black Chihuahua (who scared me when I first saw him in the dark bc he looked like a rat lol) who lives around the corner from my work and wanders our parking lot. 😉

If you ever want to post more photos you've taken (I've seen some of yours on DXP in the past and really liked them) or women's heels, or other designs, please do!

Really curious about the women's heels. I spent 2 hours last night looking at custom made women's footwear options online (several companies, though mostly in the UK) even though I can't justify the expense right now. Gotta dream a little. lol

Sure I can post them in a short while. The thing about women's shoes here: we have no supply of anything good. It's all imported. The fact that you can get leather and every single kind of material you'd want for women's shoes very cost effective in Italy is another reason I'm glad to be moving there when I finally do. Here we're great at men's shoes. My godmother's side of the family has been long-established heads of one of the oldest, most recognised names in men's footwear for centuries and yet even they couldn't guide me to where to find materials here because there are just no supply lines where people are already buying in bulk and putting the shoe lasts and materials together, unlike mainland Europe.

Great! Very interesting about the materials issue. I can imagine the relief when you're finally in Italy.

Close to 15 years ago I had a leather coat custom made for me and I went through many options for leather, finally choosing a cow hide from Italy that would hold up better than lamb that women tend to go for to reduce bulk - I wanted beauty + longevity. With some leather clothing items it makes sense to minimize bulk, particularly for women who usually don't want to look bigger than they are, but a coat like I was getting, no. The designer was so taken with the leather I chose (he hadn't worked with it before) that he made a pair of leather jeans for himself with it. Because he was male, bulk wasn't of so much of a concern to him aesthetically.

@tiziani I love the designs! Please let me know if they are ever created in some way, kevlar or not, haha. 🙂

@ Yes, thrilling for sure. 🙂. I made my choice so carefully and that really paid off. My coat has held up beautifully, which wouldn't have happened with lamb. No doubt the designer's jeans held up well too. They looked really good on him - not tight and kind of sleazy like leather pants often can often look, IMO, thanks to the thicker material, how he designed the jeans, and the fact that the leather has a matte finish, not shiny.

It's true, I've actually yet to meet a man who could pull of leather pants. That's a feat.

Do you have pictures of your coat?

Same with my thoughts about leather pants on men. It was quite amazing what he created. He looked elegant.

I don't have pictures readily available (I'd have to scan them) but I'm hoping to have some taken by a friend of mine and then I can show you if you like.

I had searched totally fruitlessly for a leather jacket that I liked. I had a vision of what I wanted, plus I am small so most leather jackets would need major alteration to fit properly. The custom route was perfect, and all along I'd really wanted a coat, not a jacket, anyway, but thought no way would I find that.

I would definitely enjoy seeing pictures, either here or by email. A 15 year custom coat is impressive.

Okay, great! I will do that then via e-mail when I have something for you.

I love your shoe designs! I'm itching to buy, if they ever are created!

Love your photos too!

@tiziani

Although this doesn't pay, it could get you recognition, and a free pair of shoes for your girlfriend or someone:

I think your designs would work very well for this company. I have a few pairs of shoes by them that impress me - they know what they're doing.

@CopperDove

I just submitted one of them now 😄 They've been sitting on my hard drive not doing anything for a couple of years now so it can't hurt. It would be excellent to be able to gift someone a pair. Thank you for the link.

That is fantastic! I'm really glad that I knew about it to tell you. I hope they choose it! 🙂

@tiziani LOVE. Thank you so much for sharing!
