Back in Black
Published April 3, 2010 | 
Watching the painter painting / And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting / That bit there, it was an accident
But he’s so pleased / It’s the best mistake, he could make

Ok, so there’s this whole vanity thing. (Disregard anything I may have implied in my last post!!). No, I didn’t suddenly buy another skin boat. This is the same beast with a new doo. Next comes a glass of red wine, some fine paint brushes, some leather, and a carving knife… I think I’m re-discovering my inner artist. Still, chances are even that I could end up selling it when I’m all done. We’ll see. But for the moment there is a certain joy in having a kayak that I can fiddle with. This canvas boat has become, my canvas.

Wondered if you were going to go with black – looks very sweet (and it DOES go with everything – so easy to accessorize and all
Nice…I like it….but it doesn’t match your new paddle…..Dorothy slipper red :>)

No no no, Roy!! Any woman will tell you that a black outfit just will not “pop” without that splash of red to show it off!!
OH NO…NOT THAT…my lack of fashion sense is showing….thoroughly and properly chastised…hanging my head

Yeah, you know the only reason I painted it black was so my ruby paddle would stand out!! LOL!..
Ok, so far 2 craft shops & one leather shop and no 5mm (ish) leather cords.. Where do you buy leather for cord for kayaks??
5mm cord……….on Ebay…..item #350334695735 it’s a giant pain in the ass to knot off.
