Loons have been a love of mine since I was a child. My parents purchased a cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire and that is where my whole family fell in love with these unique birds.
Loons were one of the first items I carved on leather projects. I started working with leather in 1977 when I was a college student. My catalog, pictured on the left, was made in 1978 as part of an independent study in art. The belt is my first carved belt featuring a design I had created. It belonged to my dad. The bag on the right was also for my dad. It was his tennis bag and was made in 1980. He used to play tennis with a friend who had a house on Governor’s Island on the lake.
If you would like to learn more about how my products are created then follow me on Facebook. Each week I host 3 live videos each week.
- Maker Monday: I share stories about Loons and discuss why I started creating the loon products I have.
- Workshop Wednesday: I bring you into my workshop and show how my loon products are created with live demos.
- Spotlight Saturday: Highlights current products I have in stock. Twice a month I advertise products for sale and host a Live Truck Show at the end of the month. In this event I am selling off stock not related to loons and lakeside wildlife. During the non sale weeks I highlight current Loon products.
