Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

I haven’t posted in a while because I have so much to do to get ready for the Art of the Cowgirl show in Queen Creek, Arizona. Typically when I go to a show it’s either an Art/Craft show where I’m displaying boots, a supply/trade show where I’m selling leather and tools, or it’s an event where I’m teaching. I’ll be doing all three in Arizona, which means three times the preparation and three times the volume of stuff to take. We leave Saturday morning and I am absolutely exhausted and overwhelmed right now.
I’ll be teaching a leather inlay overlay class; I forgot I told them we’d be making a pillow so I told all of you we were making Field Notes books, but hey, I can pivot back to pillows. To do that though, I needed to make a pillow for display so my students can see what they’ll be making. Tomorrow I’ll finish it but in the meantime, here’s my pillow front. This one is just what I chose to do. I’m not suggesting designs for this project — each student will (with my help) design their own.
