I taught a leather inlay/overlay class in the Netherlands today, at Rene van den Berg’s shoemaking school. I started the morning with not being able to find my earrings and watch in the hotel room, and this made me feel sure I was late and unprepared. But I had the most wonderful students, I felt very welcome, and it turned out to be a fantastic class. I cannot wait to see their final projects when they are completed!

Also, I met a massive pair of scissors. My hands were not big enough or strong enough to use them.
