Untitled mocassins

The detail in your work is incredible. I have a lot of respect for your “norm”, but I have to ask. Did you carved a piece of wood to look like a branch?

-- Thuan

HI Thuan, thank you for your compliment. The branch and the moccasins are all one piece.

That’s fantastic carving work!

-- masrol, kuala lumpur, MY.

this is EXTRAORDINARY.
I knew it was carved but I still had to take a double look in case it was just the branch was carved to hold the moccasins… Just amazing.

I completely, totally, 100% – LOVE THIS PIECE.
I am in awe of the skills and vision involved in this and the symbolism and sacredness of it is overwhelming.
THank you!

Incredible !

Beautifully executed! The carving and the painting techniques are quite exquisite. Very impressive collectable art. I would proudly display such a piece in my collection. I would love to see more close-up detail of your beadwork painting, or better yet the pieces in person. What a wonderful gallery presentation they make.

I also like the concept of having a beautiful American Indian artifact without collecting the actual piece that should be preserved in a museum.

I’m sure you can all agree that no matter the quality of the project, it’s never ‘easy street’ no matter how much time or perspiration that goes into your art. Once again, thank you and the camaraderie on this website is amazing!

Excellent work Jordan!! I keep looking at the details trying to figure out how you got the soft look to the leather. Thanks for posting this.

Don, if you want to hear something funny – I delivered and mounted a bear on a roof in Alberta, the roof was metal and very steep and slippery, I almost couldn’t do it – however I just received a call from the new owner and he says a real bear climbed up to inspect and left it’s ‘calling card’ right beside the sculptured bear!
