Very cool looking mocs, Hannes. Looks like that helper you have there is very helpful.. nice! I really like that side closure too. They look very comfortable! Thanks for sharing these pics of your austrian designed, south african tanned native american navajo moccasins You guys are very creative indeed.

Moc's in my opinion are the next best thing to barefootin' it and I love barefoot! Probably not a good thing with free ranging chickens however! Those are examples of some very fancy footwear there, Redthunder. And they all appear comfy! Thx for sharing the pics. Those all most likely required a few pokes in the fingers in the making no doubt.. take heart Hannes! Neat to know that the possibilities with your own leather's endless. A sewing machine fitted with a leather needle can make quick work of some useable footwear... bit on the plain side but could be easily remedied. Ha! As you can see in this pic the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I can see the source of the pattern for these moccs too on the chair there.. Jim Riggs-Blue Mtn Buckskin. Little tricky learning to sew leather with the machines..but when you don't have a lot of time and have a little desire to cut up a lot of the braintan you've slaved over.. what the heck!

Hannes, Nice mocs. I'm so bad at making mocs, I won't post them. Redthunder, Amazing work, someday I hope to quill half that good. Here are some braided leg ties and a belt that Liza just did and a couple small bags.

PA, your and Lizas embroidery moose hair looks very nice, it´s nearly same as quillwork, think you both can try quillwork like it´s done with moose hair, here is 4 beaded Cheyenne Womens high top moccs,

Did you notice Hannes beautiful awl there in this pic above? Thank you again Hannes! With the help of the awl I should be able to knock a pair (handmade) off fairly expediantly..like pretty dang quick! Make sure to be putting some weight on your feet TM when you do any tracings.. best to get someone else to trace around your foot for you so's you can keep some full weight on your foot at the same time! I'll see what other kinds a measurements you might want to take and send you my address by i.m., thanks.
