One of my entries for the Cowboy Trades Association exhibit opening in 10 days in Jackson Hole. My purpose in this design was to portray a cowboy and his handmade gear used everyday. The purpose of the CTA is to help promote the trades and arts used in everyday ranch work, as well as create a space for enthusiasts to learn more about these trades and preserve them for the future. Saddle making, rawhide braiding, silver fabrication and engraving, hat making, chap making, boot making, western fashion, garments and jewelry for the cowgirls. Pyrography on leather, painted with acrylics. 12" x 24"

Outside the studio this morning. My little feral kitten is almost grown up, and my best buddy. He helps me with farm chores every day. Mio
