I know it
has pass but I have to share it with you.
Before
the last Valentine's day I decided that it is time that my bellowed wife gets a
special gift.
As
any true bushcrafter - advanturer
ready for anything, month before Valentine's day I started my journey to China.
Arriving there, wandering its vastness,
I came across a rare animal, a water buffalo. That moment I realized that I
found what I was looking for. Let me explain. The skin from the tail of that
magnificent animal is considered today an ideal gift for Valentine's Day
because the procedure of "removing" the strings of skin from that
animal while still alive is so dangerous and hazardous that all wives around
the world consider that to be the unique proof of love and sacrifice.
Long
story short, I manage to accomplish that task without any injury, and get home right on time to donate that
gift to my bellowed one.
But this
skin tape alone seemed to me somehow ordinary, and I decided to create a form
appropriate to the event.
Since
I am not skillful artist with making from leather, I asked for advice my good
old wise friend "Google" who transferred me to his old buddy
"Youtube" from whom I got advice how that exquisite peace of leather
can become a piece of art worthily of my beloved one.
With some
primitive tools I found at home,
He
advices me to make "Expanded Turks head" version of bracelet revised
in "Gaucho/Spanish ring" because that complicated style together with
that exquisite peace of leather obtained on such a difficult way will surely
show her how much I love her.
So I
started…
At the
very end…
After I
finally finished with my work I hide the bracelet between "salix
caprea" (Willow flower)
twigs
harvested at the very tops of the mountain "Špansko marketplace"
With
my work my oldest daughter added her work made from the scraps left behind as her gift to her mother.
When
arrived (where the hell was she so long) home my wife was first happy to see me alive after my adventure and
after she saw the "present of love" her happiness blow out the sky…
On the hand of the bellowed one…
Closer
look, just to be aware why the water buffalo skin is so valued (suppleness,
softness, fineness,..), and to see my punctilious work.
P.S.
If
someone is interested here is the path to old "Youtube"
