New Name for the Boot
"Desert Caballerous Roses"
What a wonderful journey. A collaborative effort with my husband Roger Kull. He is an incredible leather artist and my best friend. Roger created the leather strap on the spurs and boot loops and helped with the design. Fantastic job! We are excited for the auction on Saturday evening.

Moving Right Along!
The BOOT is really starting to take shape and move.
I am so honored to have been asked to do this for the Cowgirl Up! Show
Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona
An artist knows when a piece is strong and will be stunning,
this is one of those extraordinary pieces of art.
This is an fun and unique experience.
The final showing and auction will take place Saturday the 19th of March
at the Desert Caballerous Museum, Wickenburg, Arizona
Cowgirl Up! Auction at the evening auction with the famous auctioneer, Carson Thomas.
Everyone, get your tickets and come on out!!!
Beads are being applied, this is slow! |
As most understand with my work, the bead work takes longer, this was no exception.
The bead work is where I want it and the colors are in the early layers. |
This is turning out to be a beauty!

Not a bad days work. The base colors are defining the BOOT. It's moving faster than I expected.

The Boot! Rose design and size
The reference design has been chosen and measured for size and placement. At this stage, I am looking at the size of beads to be painted or how many! The design is penciled on to the boot, it won't be ready for color yet.

THE BOOT! Continue
The experience continues...base color was painted on the sole and the boot. Preparation work is the foundation. It has moved into the studio.
The boot is made of fiberglass and is light for its size. It came gessoed so with a little sanding and the base color applied. Stay tuned.
