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.
Here’s a link to my Monday video!
I lost all of the files for my web site and had to completely rebuild it. If you have my web site saved under your favorites you’ll need to delete it and type the address in again. The web address is the same but if you follow an old link it will say my page is gone.
This client has been oh so patiently waiting for his boots and they’re finally on the trees to shape overnight. Tomorrow I can polish and mail them.
Change of plans: The “How to Make Cowboy Boots” DVD will now be 8 DVDs and a book that contains the templates, patterns, and formulas. I’d originally planned for 7 DVDs and a CD. I’m going to turn in my final approval for the DVDs today and then work on finalizing the book. This has been an incredibly s…l…o…w… process.
Dale and I are watching the test copy of my “How to Make Cowboy Boots” DVD set. We’re watching the “How to Fit a Last” section and he just said, “Wow, you really go into detail on that!” in a tone that suggests he’s getting tired of learning about fitting a last.
I think I celebrated completing this boot top a little early. See the unstitched flower on the bottom right? Perhaps I should fix that before I go any further.
