# About me
I'm a '82 born man from Finland. I'm a professional shoemaker, and I have heaps of hobbies. Painting, drawing, tailoring, blacksmithing etc are my crafting-intrests at the moment. Hunting, cooking, fencing with a longsword and archery are also close to my heart.# Comments

Hey Simo! Did you get back from Loughborough OK? I just wanted to tell you again how great it was to meet you and that I really hope I'll be seeing you again at any similar event in the future!
I put up Loughborough photos and reports on my blog [link] let me know if you'd like me to send you a larger version of the pic I made of you!

Hi Gold-Seven! We're closing in on Edinburgh soon, then Stirling, s-foils locked It was so very nice to meet you in person and see your amazing art.
When I get my RotR pic arranged, I'll post/share some to you as well. I'm flattered by your words on your blog and hope to be worth your high view of me.
Not sure if I showed you the horse armor and the mounted archery I did, but you can find it on my company's fb-page:

May Valar watch your way, friend

Cool.. Oikeastaan jo arvasinkin, että pitäisit siitä vyö+laukkuprojektistani.
Tyyli ei ole varmaan kovin kaukana Rohan meiningeistä etc.

Joskus kyllä pitää nähdä ihan kasvotusten, vaikkapa sitten konnun miitissä tai jossain tapahtumassa. Luulen että saattais olla paljonkin puhuttavaa. Ja kuinka voisin olla pitämättä "vyö-laukustasi"?

Olisihan se varmasti ihan mielenkiintoista. Olen ollut usein esimerkiksi Ropeconeissa myymässä korujen tapaista pikkutavaraa, mutta varsinaiseen kontumiittiin en ole ehtinyt sielläkään enää vuosiin myyntipöydällä päivystämisen takia. (Kaikki muut "vakiotapahtumani" sijaitsevat valitettavasti kuitenkin täällä itärajan tuntumassa..)

Nostan hattua kyvyllesi saattaa valmiiksi noinkin työläitä projekteja. Itsellä usein tahtoo hommat jäädä vähän kesken.

Kun menee mainostamaan monille, että nyt teen tällaista ja tällaista, niin on paineita saada hommat tehdyksi. Vaikka sitten pitkällä ajalla, mutta edes joskus. Kyllähän ne hommat mullakin seisoo välillä pitkään, mutta ennen pitkää ne viedään silti loppuun - ja olen kyllä itsekin ylpeä siitä.

I think I've once said that "the only difference between me and an elf is that I'm not an elf". But yeah, your works are definately worth watching. Keep on the good work!

Not an elf? Good point =3
I'm more Dwarf than elf ^^'

Yea, your style is definately very dwarf-like. Even though you don't use metal and stone as material. The things you've made reflect celtic and viking themes, which are in many occations easy to think dwarwish. Especially the fantastic helmet you've made. The symmetric red-black celtic ornamets and the norse-like eye-covering faceguard were all very dwarf-oriented.
I like the elven values and estethics - or at least the idea I have of them. I'm making a leather/bronze/copper-helmet, which reminds in couple of ways of your celtic helm, but its more germanic and "elven-design". I really look forward to finishing it up and showing it off

Metal work? Herm...
That's in project ^^'
Just two difference between me and a dwarf:
-I'm 1,85m tall
-I hate beer
I'll keep watching for your helmet =3

No problem! Even though i'm usually into natural fabrics, leather and metal instead of anything made of any sort of plastic, you guys had put a lot of effort for your costumes. And well, your hair is something one don't see every day

Eipä kestä. Alan varmaan kasata omaa galleriaa jatkossa pääasiassa tänne, kun on 'vähän' laajempi yleisökin.
