That is a very unique looking boot. Nice design. Are your bottoms finished the same as a cowboy boot? | ||

Dan, Thanks for the comment! Definitely not finished the same way as a traditional cowboy boot. However, this design is meant to be a western inspired fashion boot, so, the finishing references traditional cowboy boots, for example the soles are bonded, but pegged for aesthetics. If you are interested, there are a few more pictures posted on my site (www.qianamarkham.com) along with some images of the original Trujillo Brothers boot (courtesy of Jennifer June) and an image of Lisa Sorrell's (my teacher and mentor) reproduction. This was a fun project to work on and Lisa is an awesome teacher! Thanks again, @qianamarkham | ||

Hi Ms. q, Those boots are an interesting design and the workmanship looks really good. Who did you make those for? | ||

Hi Paul, Thank you so much for the kind words and please tell your wife that I am truly flattered by her comment, too. I didn't start out with these ideas, but apprenticing with Lisa Sorrell has shown me what was possible. She recognized that I have a different vision early on (perhaps before I did) and has been super supportive in helping me bring my ideas to life. qiana markham | ||

Mark, Thank you! This was a fun boot to work on. It was my first time trying this type of inlay and overlay. Wow hard stuff to do. @qianamarkham | ||

Oh dear goodness, I thought I told Lisa to put the reins on you and your fancy 'girl shoes.' :D So, when do we get to see the finished Red Queen heels? Hmmm, been waiting forever here! Love, -Mad Hatter | ||
