Tamara is the best thing that ever happened to me. Naturally sweet, endearingly earnest and sincere, never spiteful, gorgeous, probably the hardest and most constant worker I know (and strong!), tough and resourceful in the face of extremity or deprivation, feminine but never prissy, role model, loved teacher to many. Tamara is a ROCK (that you can use as a pillow:). Everyone wants more of her, including me:) Not only can she bring home the bacon, she'll kill and butcher the pig, make the bacon and serve it up on a platter of love, all the while trying to teach you how to do it too and looking hot the whole time! Knowing her will enrich your life.

BRAINTANNING HIDES WORKSHOP
(events » community)
Saturday, April 11, 2009 - 9:00 AM
Braintanned leather is a beautiful, soft, durable, and washable material which is made using the same natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable methods employed by most Native American groups.

The group will tan one deer hide for every four people and, if all goes well, each person should take home about quarter of a finished buckskin.

all day $100

about me
I'm very active and like to do lot's of different practical things. I've chosen work that is meaningful to me and live my work which I find both challenging and fulfilling. I teach and demonstrate ancient living skills mostly around Northern California through my business Paleotechnics. I believe that my sense of well being and my place in the universe comes out of my understanding of the natural world and relating to the world around me on a personal and practical level.
In my leisure time I enjoy the fruits of my labors with my partner and best friend whom I adore, but also enjoy sharing good fun, food and drink with others. I am rather serious and focused, but laugh easily and have a dark sense of humor. I'm definitely considered a tomboy and am very strong, but am pretty effeminate too:)
