"Boots"

Finally, I finished "Boots" way back in April but I held off posting it on the blog until I had given the piece to its next owner. Well, we finally took the drive north to hand "Boots" to Dawn.

"Boots" was actually started at the same time I started "Eeyore." The plan was to let Angela (Eeyore's owner & the previous carving in this Blog) to think I was working on "Boots" for Dawn (her daughter).

At the outset, "Boots" seemed fairly easy to "rough out" and get the basic shape.

The basic shape was coped out and I put the Dremel to work.The "Boots" took shape quickly, but as the saying goes, "the devil is in the details." Cowboy boots have stitching and seams. That's where I let the burrs "fool" your eyes.

The seams were easy.

The stitching was trickier! However, Dawn has a pair of "Antique cowgirl boots" to add to her western motif!
