Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

I’ll actually be making two pairs of boots with the same design and colors. These are all of the cut out pieces from two sets of boot tops.

I’m in the mood to make the headdress design again but this time I’m going to do it completely in black, white, and gray.

This is a boot I designed and made a few years ago. These boots won “Best Artist, Art to Wear” at the Western Design Conference in Jackson, Wyoming.

This was Marianne’s final project. Marianne will be taking a boot making class later, and this pillow is a good way to practice symmetry. Even if a boot top design is asymmetrical it still must be reversed and repeated for the second boot, so designs such as this one are good practice.

Marianne’s projects for yesterday: an inlaid CD sleeve and an overlaid bracelet.

My current student Marianne made an inlaid bookmark and bracelet yesterday.

Here are my newest students Karie and Marianne admiring a new project.
