tanning skins

Surely the kiwis did it first

They would have worn them while making lamingtons to decorate their pavlovas???

They would have made them big enough to share with the hind legs of pretty ones.

But still tight enough that they couldn't escape???

If it was the kiwis then I don't want to think about the term "ugg" anymore

Long live the Aussie Ugg boot. 

 

If the Yanks take our Uggies then that's grounds for war. 

It's ours Yanks, back off the boots. 

Next they'll want our Akubra hats.

Well, the hides turned out bloody awesome, however they didn't last long on the floor. 

I tell you what, the kids were so grossed out by what I was doing and couldn't believe people do that to sheep (wait till they hear about the kiwis, their uncle haha). Said they'd never go near them etc. 

 

Well, they saw them on the floor, lay on them and couldn't believe it, so the skins ended up with them under their sheets like underlay on the beds. 

 

Here's a quick pic of one, before they both disappeared. 

 

Round two just rocked up the other day as well.

I was only thinking yesterday about checking with you on how they were going.

Ask your kids where do wooly car seat covers come from.

They are good on the floor to snuggle your feet into on a nippy night.

Are you going to do some more Junky, are you doing it the same way, if they turned out good I wouldn't going to the expense of the kits just use what you used before. Cheaper way out.

Yes mate, doing more. 

I'm addicted.

Will do the same way. Turned out bloody awesome for a bloke who had no idea what I was doing, so can only get better at it now. Have plenty of ingredients left over as well. 

Im also going to try one with the brains, instead of egg. See how that goes. 

 

They were lovely on the feet but the kids have confiscated those 2 skins, so I shall do some more. I'm chuffed they like them actually. Gone from no interest to maybe helping me with the next ones.
