Yesterday I finally got the hides washed. Hung them on a clothesline outside since they still kinda smelled funny. Today I started working them. I am covered in fur, some of them have bald spots but I'm so in love with these furs, bald spots and all, they are beautiful. I'm also very proud of myself for getting through the whole process without barfing :)

| Hanging on the line. Two of my compost bins in the background. Yes I have more than two. There is a lot of oopy around here lol! Notice the rabbits feet. Hubby wanted to save them. I'm sure I will end up making them into keychains or something gross, lol! Fun fact only the left hind foot is lucky :) |

Oooh, makes me want to run my hands through them. (While maybe holding my nose as I do it.) :o)
ReplyDeleteHa! They don't stink now. I shampooed them and the oil I rubbed on them today had a really nice smell :)
DeleteReally neat and what a frontier woman you are!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm very proud. The hubs still thinks I'm gross, lol. I just hope the fur doesn't slip. I'm going to do it a little different next time. You live and learn :)
DeleteYou can come live at the Small-Hold after the collapse and be our tanner if you like. Maybe take up sheep shearing too :) That would be awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't bring any of that damned Mornign glory though we have plenty.
I hope I don't have to leave my place when the shtf, but thanks for the offer :)
DeleteCool. It's fun to see someone trying something new.
ReplyDeleteDarn, after I commented the text changed to squiggly stuff I can't read without getting a headache. Is this a glitch on your blog?
ReplyDeleteIt might be my weird font, I plan on re-doing my blog soon :)
