Today is July 17, 2020. I am 13 years old, and I am a rising 7th grader. I hope that you are still collecting model horses, and making tack. Have you been to model horse shows, and/ or Breyerfest? ( I hope so! ) Right now my blog has 374 views, are you a successful tack maker? Are you still blogging? Right now I have about 20 model horses, not including the stablemates. Right now it is the coronavirus pandemic. I have been SO bored! Next year I will only be going to school two days of the week.<div><br /></div><div><span> Right now I ride at Mulford horse farm, do you still ride there? I have sewn one rider a jacket, and I have rerooted her hair and customized her arms. It didn't come out very well... but I hope that you customize a lot more dolls and model horses. Do you have any artist resins or peter stones? I have always wanted an artist resin, they are so pretty!</span><br /></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><span> Right now I read Braymere Custom Saddlery and Field Of Dolls Studio. I love to read about these two awesome tack makers. I want to be just like them when I grow up. Have you won any nan cards? I can't wait to go to a model horse live show. Are they as fun as they sound? </span><br /></span></div><div><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span><span> So that is all that I have to say. Good luck at high school! I will now set the publish date to two years from now.</span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span>Bye!</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span>13 year old Jamie Choe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNv4MdvjpLP5n7TzxxCxSjSbsb61NC4XqxX_4UVo29oWH65nhyphenhyphenuS9aEFDf54Dg38yTwdMa9ww9GFXRBhtHHz_XhaNGe4YsZqYCT1GD1zEtQy8OF_UUcZzVjodRI_iYIdstT8Zqw_eP93E/s2048/IMG_0045.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNv4MdvjpLP5n7TzxxCxSjSbsb61NC4XqxX_4UVo29oWH65nhyphenhyphenuS9aEFDf54Dg38yTwdMa9ww9GFXRBhtHHz_XhaNGe4YsZqYCT1GD1zEtQy8OF_UUcZzVjodRI_iYIdstT8Zqw_eP93E/s320/IMG_0045.JPG" /></a></div></span></span></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445398587342856244.post-74237535621154807672021-08-24T17:49:00.004-07:002021-08-24T17:49:50.415-07:00First Day of School<p> Yesterday was my first day of 8th grade. It’s really my first time in middle school as I was 100% virtual last year. My first impression of middle school, is that it’s quite hectic. There are so many people in the halls, and I have to constantly worry about what class to go to next. On the plus side, I met a lot of my old friends. The classes are also a lot more fun, especially my electives. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2iDIcHqz8-sZxDN465_o_juPjiVgamP9BMbTgPkYkWVfyh2lkWRzbkWmVtIZDz_AcqWqEXuh5zTtrUqszhBtY_6ykTmSaD5AQPZvtsZkAGQlrp5FGudr6IvvoTu2_EJc-18M9ia4oJw/s2048/B07D5F09-F59F-4278-BBA3-EC9D03D9F687.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha2iDIcHqz8-sZxDN465_o_juPjiVgamP9BMbTgPkYkWVfyh2lkWRzbkWmVtIZDz_AcqWqEXuh5zTtrUqszhBtY_6ykTmSaD5AQPZvtsZkAGQlrp5FGudr6IvvoTu2_EJc-18M9ia4oJw/w240-h320/B07D5F09-F59F-4278-BBA3-EC9D03D9F687.jpeg" title="My picture made it into last years yearbook!" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My picture made it into the yearbook!</div><p> I’m especially excited about science.

I’ve always been the kind of kid that has some kind of after school activity every day, if not twice a day. You guys don’t know this, but I have ALOT of other hobbies. I have singing lessons twice a week, cello once a week, volunteer work once a week, and math, a whopping three times a week. So I’m very busy. In fact I’m so used to being busy that whenever I don’t do anything it just feels weird.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu05k5OL1OA7kkAItlUSDJCB4a3VhvbDUw-mc1gn6tpGpnmA36YwRR1zzOTv0zEI5ouMoUFO_ew2LveSMi1zoR-luTcQc5Us5hURuCTOhCdgutRCGaqneCEl2sKoiM5rAmJY7Z0wzY5GBuhLPf4QX3qznNhvTykNWj74QNavV2gdXK7f15rAyKcs8x=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiu05k5OL1OA7kkAItlUSDJCB4a3VhvbDUw-mc1gn6tpGpnmA36YwRR1zzOTv0zEI5ouMoUFO_ew2LveSMi1zoR-luTcQc5Us5hURuCTOhCdgutRCGaqneCEl2sKoiM5rAmJY7Z0wzY5GBuhLPf4QX3qznNhvTykNWj74QNavV2gdXK7f15rAyKcs8x=s320" width="240" /></a></div><p> You also don’t know this, but I’m really into Musical theater. I’ve been in musicals (Be More Chill, Bring It On, Lion King, Big Bad Musical, and more.) so singing is a big part of my life. I love to perform, and challenge myself to learn new things. </p><p> Recently I won second place in two categories in the international American Protégé competition, and I’m going to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York. So yeah, I’m kind of nervous about that…</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoVm7IKl6oo" width="320" youtube-src-id="LoVm7IKl6oo"></iframe></div><p> About the math, I’ve been going to math three times a week. I like it, so it’s not that big of a deal, but it does take up a lot of time. Somehow I find time to make model horse tack! (Usually after dinner). I love making model horse stuff, it’s like my happy place. I like sitting in my <u><b>quiet</b></u> craft room and making whatever I want. My ears are really messed up, I’m sensitive to loud noises and lots of other things, so being in a quiet room is really calming. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGStRUvMsBHjth_CwKeUyYeB1tY8bGXvjYYVLg3bYRYZt5FlDQGcTknCu8tDa_ax_vFwRY2gBA88K3qTWywmv7tb9YnW_O_kig5BXh6WAmY5hd6UYRhdDs5Wv9h2ziPaFW1uL06zZrdM23PJbn4bFuUgJK23LqW2pNV3CBz68RCWGO-7PcD_LysgN0=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjGStRUvMsBHjth_CwKeUyYeB1tY8bGXvjYYVLg3bYRYZt5FlDQGcTknCu8tDa_ax_vFwRY2gBA88K3qTWywmv7tb9YnW_O_kig5BXh6WAmY5hd6UYRhdDs5Wv9h2ziPaFW1uL06zZrdM23PJbn4bFuUgJK23LqW2pNV3CBz68RCWGO-7PcD_LysgN0=s320" width="320" /></a></div><p> Oh, and I have to talk about pets. Animals are a big deal to me. I’ve loved animals since I could talk, so it makes sense that I have a lot of pets. In total, my family’s has 1 dog, 2 guinea pigs, and 2 gerbils. We also always have foster animals around because I like to help out the animal shelter. I take care of all of them so it sometimes feels like doing farm chores!</p><p style="text-align: center;">My gerbils, Toasty and Cookie.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRNYw6tFPN9LQnStjLGNB7Ub05aSYNgSvkzPZO5uPN8oA1rCbs0reewFWzkI_nR2wiQrS2SZIfNItU3cA5yDhEOyvPIBucbH-82usTQoHkvG3bBK0M3F5355n5y0nTOd-zQpRVig5I9a92ZLeQ0jQ2pXuktjAqp8JkLw4jlr9hl0vEu4GvRbxPZsbG=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhRNYw6tFPN9LQnStjLGNB7Ub05aSYNgSvkzPZO5uPN8oA1rCbs0reewFWzkI_nR2wiQrS2SZIfNItU3cA5yDhEOyvPIBucbH-82usTQoHkvG3bBK0M3F5355n5y0nTOd-zQpRVig5I9a92ZLeQ0jQ2pXuktjAqp8JkLw4jlr9hl0vEu4GvRbxPZsbG=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlroYIgFNkN8hKfYuqGS7u-aUDN_dk3VMAckVLziGtNOIk_DoNjT3hb1TpLWZG8iFf9RVHN59LmIX_k4C-xP5W8-Kcf1U3igT9XBh_8Y5NCxIR2uldME8utNd-Ygl1QzJItYJD_tV-Cerh7APv_nBznMhByTeU1lQMdJ6jVIg3WHgXtQUhXxSb-8c4=s1414" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1414" data-original-width="795" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlroYIgFNkN8hKfYuqGS7u-aUDN_dk3VMAckVLziGtNOIk_DoNjT3hb1TpLWZG8iFf9RVHN59LmIX_k4C-xP5W8-Kcf1U3igT9XBh_8Y5NCxIR2uldME8utNd-Ygl1QzJItYJD_tV-Cerh7APv_nBznMhByTeU1lQMdJ6jVIg3WHgXtQUhXxSb-8c4=s320" width="180" /></a></div><p> Sorry I haven’t posted in a while.

Today I managed to convince my brother to 3D print me some model horse props. Most of you don’t know that my brother is a craft maker as well. He has his own work room where he makes resin things, wires up contraptions, and other things. Well, he has two 3D printers and today he was looking for things to print, so I suggested model horse cones! 3 dollars and a few hours later, I have my very own 3D printed cones! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-xv7eDcI8I22FGkPk8_n6FyjwCeC3tvAaxEFSE37Warh7sl01gWBC-qohYYltU7AuCYF6-rqeV-Rf9mad3BAk-WLojkUC5I3Sj9V5DluUqic0jD40KBg0NV1AKe9ewkQjjnJQdwoZMCM/s2048/2C0BAB3E-AC6B-4F58-9B04-A497FD2078E1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-xv7eDcI8I22FGkPk8_n6FyjwCeC3tvAaxEFSE37Warh7sl01gWBC-qohYYltU7AuCYF6-rqeV-Rf9mad3BAk-WLojkUC5I3Sj9V5DluUqic0jD40KBg0NV1AKe9ewkQjjnJQdwoZMCM/s320/2C0BAB3E-AC6B-4F58-9B04-A497FD2078E1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is my brother’s craft room:</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROIfgYEYSbypgo_T2WsHU2hj80r9BfbZZISVyhFNr-AOIkteC1EltnIifUgC8vFZgXvs1KBtBxfnhhdyfAjfiAFb8umPL0m1xN5KpPz1YMD9g4c9s9DWZMXHP7GqYoSTlouB3IwUJn1c/s2048/F1A5DFB5-C9F8-4CE2-AB90-0BFCC231FBF5.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROIfgYEYSbypgo_T2WsHU2hj80r9BfbZZISVyhFNr-AOIkteC1EltnIifUgC8vFZgXvs1KBtBxfnhhdyfAjfiAFb8umPL0m1xN5KpPz1YMD9g4c9s9DWZMXHP7GqYoSTlouB3IwUJn1c/s320/F1A5DFB5-C9F8-4CE2-AB90-0BFCC231FBF5.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love them so much, they even stack!

When it comes to the model horse hobby (or any hobby in general) you’re going to run into issues. Trial and error is just a way of learning! I know that in the past, I’ve faces SO many problems! I remember when I was so dedicated to learning how to sew that I would sit in my craft room and sew for AGES! My family would only see me at meal times, but other than that I would be sewing. There were many times I felt like just throwing everything down and quitting. <div><br /></div><div> Developing my saddle pattern was so much work! It’s awfully hard to create a saddle pattern from scratch when you can’t remember what an English saddle looked like. I had to sit down and fully study the parts of a saddle so that I could just sketch out a pattern. And let me just tell you, it was not easy. I would try to construct an entire saddle, but something would always go wrong. The saddle flap would be too big or small, or the girth was too short. So I would start all over again. I probably made about 5 different saddles before I was remotely satisfied with it. I wish I had kept my failed saddle attempts, but most of them are in the trash or in my backyard. (I put them in a time capsule.)</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4-NMvrnWeXdSK7hDO8wwG4K-k_TP-vVcqPXEBiwAZ-llfVLlhJUxxvj6jNuZV373aBUCGJZcEm7fHX3YCyVKP_IQO_S-fAIlg2ySnfLYUeqYIQLwli-1aObgc6oVrrxsZLO09cRppmU/s2048/3542D469-A40E-4354-BE9E-CABE70191B84.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4-NMvrnWeXdSK7hDO8wwG4K-k_TP-vVcqPXEBiwAZ-llfVLlhJUxxvj6jNuZV373aBUCGJZcEm7fHX3YCyVKP_IQO_S-fAIlg2ySnfLYUeqYIQLwli-1aObgc6oVrrxsZLO09cRppmU/s320/3542D469-A40E-4354-BE9E-CABE70191B84.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">An old buckle that I made out of a paper clip.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEvnmbIuOSGe4y2Kcm55ChY-L-PVgqFz_N9VwXOpBec5tDWzSKKNCYnQdfcja52lvyi5r3yEf067UWchaxNWJ8Cdn677mZL5QFkt8G5Cf5OpIwjdFmzWaUImAhcDYCl97dNiIiwJN5yk/s2048/24106E2F-6818-4722-97C3-CA5E9ED7F222.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEvnmbIuOSGe4y2Kcm55ChY-L-PVgqFz_N9VwXOpBec5tDWzSKKNCYnQdfcja52lvyi5r3yEf067UWchaxNWJ8Cdn677mZL5QFkt8G5Cf5OpIwjdFmzWaUImAhcDYCl97dNiIiwJN5yk/s320/24106E2F-6818-4722-97C3-CA5E9ED7F222.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first attempt at a girth.</div><br /><div> A BIG problem that I had with my saddles was the bulk.

My mom couldn’t come so me and my dad went instead.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi860RoGShznRJbOH3DuG0igL07C89l0VnBs7uEBDK9xM52R0wMDDHRPiO69gzVNIEj_kGJSjKE_4yGdTgsBODcKkYo0MHqPmw256BvUzPmFZ5FV9-H0dt-suaDtF_3_LDZoccmTXqdpXE/s2048/13D0F754-C282-4374-953F-AC1C211AB3C2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi860RoGShznRJbOH3DuG0igL07C89l0VnBs7uEBDK9xM52R0wMDDHRPiO69gzVNIEj_kGJSjKE_4yGdTgsBODcKkYo0MHqPmw256BvUzPmFZ5FV9-H0dt-suaDtF_3_LDZoccmTXqdpXE/s320/13D0F754-C282-4374-953F-AC1C211AB3C2.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is Titan.

I was sad, but thats ok. </p><p> Today my family drove down to San Diego to see my cousins. While we were there we visited a beach that had seals on it.

There was even a few baby seals. Once we finished watching the seals, we walked over to the sea lion beach. The first thing that hit me was the smell.

The sea lions were also louder than the seals. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiso439KRpkMNbtdD-uBv3HfAFWSzi7GoV_Z4rt1xSsdtd_xFi2myo56KPAN4iCrYQB9yvVwfOaU6lIz0KOSxYH49SjQlMhQRwoLrV-dkr_-sHN2gZcZZvIrj5Zfn7TMCWRJr8cx8m5C2g/s1410/IMG_6889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1410" data-original-width="1058" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiso439KRpkMNbtdD-uBv3HfAFWSzi7GoV_Z4rt1xSsdtd_xFi2myo56KPAN4iCrYQB9yvVwfOaU6lIz0KOSxYH49SjQlMhQRwoLrV-dkr_-sHN2gZcZZvIrj5Zfn7TMCWRJr8cx8m5C2g/s320/IMG_6889.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's hard to see them in this photo, but if you look closely then you can see them sleeping on the rocks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGlBKv0U7_HMuQYLg2NHyyXKjD6cmjdvlyacmWfjTxVciC6K2PNCIAsljeaMxD_wMFumra_cRoIiHhtu7f9-uRuGUlHhYEBvH-hJQ0-DpQNteNQcAUYhXetzLAQbJI_WcydKCdPIxrNQ/s1410/IMG_6884.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1410" data-original-width="1058" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGlBKv0U7_HMuQYLg2NHyyXKjD6cmjdvlyacmWfjTxVciC6K2PNCIAsljeaMxD_wMFumra_cRoIiHhtu7f9-uRuGUlHhYEBvH-hJQ0-DpQNteNQcAUYhXetzLAQbJI_WcydKCdPIxrNQ/s320/IMG_6884.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Jamie Choehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03013573471467093888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445398587342856244.post-51709232790618462082021-06-13T19:20:00.004-07:002021-06-13T19:20:23.760-07:00Los Angeles<p> Hello!

It took me so long to find the appropriate leather online. To make most model horse tack you need two types of leather, 2/3 oz (0.8mm) tooling leather and skiver.</p><p>Sliver is really thin and it’s used to form around tack parts. For example around the saddle seat. Sliver has a nice drape to it and it can me folded and stretched really easily.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5DP9NCmkQJF-tsjR8gM8R2jIWS6jc82Iy2O87zsOAOhuLv8EJrLUpCMKjczwAYe8gf9F26MViI4vVwMo2M2J0Mw__kacTQRuPfCbxlLNLRqoNzzSv3XtslYlWgbc5kMiQbJ7_QyuXqU/s2048/FAE80E1B-8828-4C26-BB56-83918D723197.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5DP9NCmkQJF-tsjR8gM8R2jIWS6jc82Iy2O87zsOAOhuLv8EJrLUpCMKjczwAYe8gf9F26MViI4vVwMo2M2J0Mw__kacTQRuPfCbxlLNLRqoNzzSv3XtslYlWgbc5kMiQbJ7_QyuXqU/s320/FAE80E1B-8828-4C26-BB56-83918D723197.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Tooling leather is used for saddle flaps, sweat flaps and more.

I've found that Etsy and Ebay are two great places to find leather. </p><p> For the skiver I just type razor-thin leather in the search bar. Your looking for leather that is paper thin and has a nice drape. I usually buy my skiver from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FrankLeatherShop?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=732195081" target="_blank">FrankLeatherShop</a> on Etsy. You could ask him for really thin sheepskin leather. Bookbinding leather is also usually thin enough.</p><p> The tooling leather was the most difficult to find. You don't want leather that is too thick or else it'll look to bulky on your horses. I found that 2/3 oz leather is the perfect thickness, you won't be skiving* for ages.

I know how hard it can be when your just starting out and you don't know what to buy or how to make anything. Thats why over the next few weeks I'm going to tell you exactly how to get started in the model horse hobby.</p><p><span> So one of the big things that your going to need are tools and supplies. There are an endless amount of tools and supplies that you can buy, but I'm just going to go over the basics. </span><br /></p><p>Glue:</p><p><span> </span>So, Ive tried many different types of glue and I found that when working with <u><b>real</b></u> leather, Tacky glue works best. It dries really quickly and its non toxic and still flexible when it dries. Another option is Duco Cement. I've also used this but it smells very strongly of chemicals and its harder to wash out. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIlL8TVkqb7-RoOETDxPDPD0sDEDvKXifih-l7P2YadutAPWYGN14Y8Dd5axm74J27Hr1d4EzgRteCdW-LsbxMfVvxmozstC_AQIO_3UBQKJeXoQzXRWIOo8S-UJHO3A-HLDxo2zZJD0/s2048/201F2D02-0DA5-4363-98C6-F2A77F340DC2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzIlL8TVkqb7-RoOETDxPDPD0sDEDvKXifih-l7P2YadutAPWYGN14Y8Dd5axm74J27Hr1d4EzgRteCdW-LsbxMfVvxmozstC_AQIO_3UBQKJeXoQzXRWIOo8S-UJHO3A-HLDxo2zZJD0/s320/201F2D02-0DA5-4363-98C6-F2A77F340DC2.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3egcpqmjwdr__Ve_0sGLbzAmA0hfBwvauRODwpCQmFpwu8PDDIiVSJBU_gwBGQxLhlvta22F7uPYxlENcvoRfpxWRu2lB0PR36U0YIR7kva6jJcItezRXczkKRG-oVZ-shCXSc2vHbI/s2048/D09653BA-F985-4220-8B83-52A80103E473.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3egcpqmjwdr__Ve_0sGLbzAmA0hfBwvauRODwpCQmFpwu8PDDIiVSJBU_gwBGQxLhlvta22F7uPYxlENcvoRfpxWRu2lB0PR36U0YIR7kva6jJcItezRXczkKRG-oVZ-shCXSc2vHbI/s320/D09653BA-F985-4220-8B83-52A80103E473.jpeg" /></a></div><p>Scissors:</p><p><span> Most people think that you're going to need some heavy duty scissors to cut leather, but no.

I just never had my phone on me. </p><p><span> My family went camping in a tent, and there was no electricity, or wifi. Let me just say, when you don't have an outlet to charge your iPad and the bathroom is a long walk away, you start to really appreciate the things that you have in life. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7jhfL1fWt0nl2kexaH9ZRazmPIvTYyj9FDJ-iczXgj7odYu1GbjtJ9BptDnxHM5u97uS2Ctqvkexb04uA4NEUKI0JhkVRYZDzcykf7M8r01vws9i0GelT-tTt5tbDZIsftjDCFSyHGI/s1478/IMG_2121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1478" data-original-width="1108" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7jhfL1fWt0nl2kexaH9ZRazmPIvTYyj9FDJ-iczXgj7odYu1GbjtJ9BptDnxHM5u97uS2Ctqvkexb04uA4NEUKI0JhkVRYZDzcykf7M8r01vws9i0GelT-tTt5tbDZIsftjDCFSyHGI/s320/IMG_2121.JPG" /></a></div><br /><span><br /></span><p></p><p><span> It was really fun, except it rained a lot.

So, don’t get me wrong sometimes I love being a kid, but sometimes I wish that I could do more things, independently. So I just wanted to share my struggles being in the model horse hobby.</p><p>1. Money</p><p>Ok, so this is a big one. I’m broke. I don’t have a job so I rely on my Etsy and birthday money to do the things that I love, such as making model horse tack. I want to buy really fancy artist resins and custom painted model horses, but no. Instead I use what little money I earn on supplies such as leather and mini hardware.</p><p>2. I can’t drive</p><p>Since I can’t drive I have to rely on my parents to drive me everywhere. This makes going to future (hopefully soon!) live shows really difficult. </p><p>3. School</p><p>I know that many people go to work all day, but school takes up a lot of time. I finish school at 2:00, but then, every day, I have HOURS of after school activities to go to. Singing, Cello, Math, and Softball just to name a few.</p><p>4. Bedtimes</p><p>So yes, I still have a bedtime. If it were up to me I would stay up all night working on model horse tack, but I am limited to a few hours until 9:30.</p><p>5. Expectations</p><p>When people hear that I make model horse tack, I feel like they don’t take me that seriously. I know that I’m not as good as other tack makers, but this is more than just “playing with toys”. </p><p>Now for some photos! Today I made my first ever show halter! I had a tiny chain in my toolbox and I had nothing to do with it until I had the idea. Now let me just say it took a lot of fiddling with the tiny chain to loop it through the check rings, but I made it work!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbhSLGJAVHRISh1t9TNLW3lKKawP_6rSP5ODiOczuHQYNJPP44lVz2Bda5RUL0GaDKTyFv85c3GXC_Br_3mMYUsYHwQMKKqh3Pb8VRGzVu929IQIYLypSDQ99yPbkO9ahSgdn9TsZBEA/s2048/E2C26EC1-F47C-4DC2-A6C7-7BAE353DE838.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIbhSLGJAVHRISh1t9TNLW3lKKawP_6rSP5ODiOczuHQYNJPP44lVz2Bda5RUL0GaDKTyFv85c3GXC_Br_3mMYUsYHwQMKKqh3Pb8VRGzVu929IQIYLypSDQ99yPbkO9ahSgdn9TsZBEA/s320/E2C26EC1-F47C-4DC2-A6C7-7BAE353DE838.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are my newest drawings:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_S-i7r9eBsr27ul2UVxbIwthBJ6Ol9bXxpCEG490v_ScjtEOClKl4AttLuz_Qm6_qbcG-TQKKbZDpt2J8mEDa_rdCuntEnuVx77FO7Q_DX2CuXO4zAJYPY0s24j9s1zScPSEujsSvx40/s2048/6EA45880-F1F9-403D-A675-6818E426E0DF.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_S-i7r9eBsr27ul2UVxbIwthBJ6Ol9bXxpCEG490v_ScjtEOClKl4AttLuz_Qm6_qbcG-TQKKbZDpt2J8mEDa_rdCuntEnuVx77FO7Q_DX2CuXO4zAJYPY0s24j9s1zScPSEujsSvx40/s320/6EA45880-F1F9-403D-A675-6818E426E0DF.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCO_KX1zIdxXcB1_OpeaYNxKVWXzhjEXjkjFTM6Ne_mDhAiZk75NEQKeNeUvbIinJRW786yZiYlGCUqgrRztBIRD_M4mMfHPxK7wYAqcVy87UXe7pu_gFKBevzK241z4tPV_evfDCr4Wk/s1754/10AB98AE-2D90-474F-9E45-5575A258196F.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="1754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCO_KX1zIdxXcB1_OpeaYNxKVWXzhjEXjkjFTM6Ne_mDhAiZk75NEQKeNeUvbIinJRW786yZiYlGCUqgrRztBIRD_M4mMfHPxK7wYAqcVy87UXe7pu_gFKBevzK241z4tPV_evfDCr4Wk/s320/10AB98AE-2D90-474F-9E45-5575A258196F.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7N3UCCYJaDu35tr64CAA6yrKO1BQijc0ZSd_9eRhIUAA5MyrsWA73A1GC-4aQPCVjfIb4ZkNI8ogeIFRq9eW1Qt1AuBfUaqaVLgpzG69QmOB_hnsxngYdYGvl45p5PiOsfaDpe4xfYLg/s2048/37F41D15-E281-4778-8E67-7EB126B93EE1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7N3UCCYJaDu35tr64CAA6yrKO1BQijc0ZSd_9eRhIUAA5MyrsWA73A1GC-4aQPCVjfIb4ZkNI8ogeIFRq9eW1Qt1AuBfUaqaVLgpzG69QmOB_hnsxngYdYGvl45p5PiOsfaDpe4xfYLg/s320/37F41D15-E281-4778-8E67-7EB126B93EE1.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Jamie Choehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03013573471467093888noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445398587342856244.post-67761028461812064702021-05-04T18:07:00.000-07:002021-05-04T18:07:08.510-07:00It’s My Birthday<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It’s my birthday today!

Today I’m feeling hot. So basically what happened was our air conditioning broke yesterday. The electrician can’t fix it until next week so we’re stuck being hot.
