Hand-some new boots

For now I will leave you to imagine the boot top I’m working on and the client’s profession.

I’m feeling blue

I have a lovely blue alligator skin that I’ve been coveting and I decided to pair it with the new boot tops I designed for myself. Don’t worry, there’s enough blue alligator for one more pair of boots if anyone is interested.

Whooops, I just lost my motivation

I’m staying home from work this morning to clean my house. Or play on the computer. Or nap. I’ve been working so hard the last couple of months and it feels great to just not care. I promise to be a dedicated, hard-working entrepreneur again by tomorrow.

Design therapy

Teaching a class can be stressful for me because I’m so accustomed to working alone. After my students left I took a little vacation into my own personal space and started a pair of boots for myself. This design has been teasing the edges of my mind for months. Thursday morning it flashed fully formed into my consciousness when I awoke.
