Boots....


Just finished the boots that my husband to be will be wearing at the wedding.

Not bad for my first pair! Thought I would share the finished product.

They are made from caribou leg skins, black and white calf skin, red deer leather, and native tanned moose hide.

    Those boots are very beautiful and I think your wedding will be amazing. A happy day for every stitch!

    They also look warm.

    I'm a boring WASP woman in New Hampshire, surrounded by the shreds of my own culture (much of which is either imperialism or industrial and not awfully attractive in any sense) and I greatly honor what you are trying to do. And I like the pictures of your art and your craft and your lichen.

    Nice boots. No matter the medium, your work is always beautiful. I will be certain to take a good picture of those boots myself.

    Each bead is a nugget of love and prayer of protection for your man. Great job!
