Cowboy Boots

I spent a couple of hours at the Colorado Stock show this year.  I haven't been there in over 20 years so it was fun going back to seeing what rural Colorado is really like.  It's a world away from the hip, urban lifestyle of Denver.

I spent some time sketching men in cowboy hats, farm equipment, and cattle.  And thinking about the cultural divide.  It is vast.

But one of the funny "duh" moments was when I went into the shopping area and saw fabulous Cowboy Boots for sale.  Just look at this stitching!  It's what made every boot special.  Sewing on leather takes different skills than I possess but I think I will start looking at these designs to see how I can incorporate a little "western" look and feel into my pieces.  Fun!
