Lisa Sorrell, cowboy boot maker

After days of checking in, entering, and putting away inventory, I realized what I needed to cheer me up was to do some sketching.

It’s been a fun journey with these boots, but it’s almost time to send them to their new owner.

These boots will be completed soon; there are only a few more heel layers left to do!

I’ve started a new video series on my YouTube channel, “It’s a Boot Life.” I’m making a beautiful pair of inlaid boots, and I’ve filmed myself throughout the entire process. This series will show me making a pair of boots from start to finish, but speeded up so you don’t have to watch 50 hours of video. In this, the first video, you’ll see approximately 10 hours of creating the inlaid boot tops, compressed into 14 minutes.
