Amazing work Lisa! I understand that this was a few years ago. Can you remember? Did you use a stain then burnishing paint for the soles? Did you use a neutral wax or a brown wax to finish them?
The sole edges and the pegged area of the shank is dyed, then burnishing ink is lightly applied, and then it's burnished. I use the burnishing wheel and horsehair polishing brushes on my finisher, but burnishing with an edge iron or a rub stick and then buffing by hand works equally well. The natural area of the sole has a coat of Bottom Stain applied and then it's burnished with Natural wax and polished with the horsehair brush on the finisher.
Realmente uma obra de arte... Imagino como deve ser gratificante ver uma pessoa calçando uma bota como tantas outras que você Lisa Sorrel já criou... Seu trabalho da pra resumir em uma palavra... Amor
Judy, they're supposed to be. There are some foot conditions that make wearing cowboy boots challenging or impossible, so I hesitate to answer with an enthusiastic "yes" before meeting a customer, measuring their foot, and talking to them about their feet. However, once I go through that process and accept someone as a client, then I work with them until they're satisfied.
