Newly created out of basswood. I use two tools – a Dremel mototool and a Heavy Duty Dremel no longer available(unfortunately). All simulated beads are handpainted three times with a toothpick. I assume fellow wood workers will accept this patience as the norm rather than insanity.

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?

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

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!

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.
