Lisa Sorrell left a comment for Regina Rose Malone"I love the way people always have an emotional connection to their cowboy boots. They're the coolest!"
Regina Rose Malone left a comment for Lisa Sorrell"These boots are beyond awesome. My cowboy boots were my favorite shoes & one of the things I miss now that I have to wear a brace. Gave away all my shoes & other boots that I could not wear but kept the cowboy boots."

Drifting and Dreaming
"Harriete,
Thank you! All of my boots are commissioned. Since they're custom made for each clients foot, and the client chooses the design, I don't make any boots until they've been ordered. My waiting time is usually around a year."

- Hello Lisa,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for fine craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through March 15, 2013.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website editor are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect!
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime, I will do my best to be of help.
I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin
Crafthaus Editor
Deadline to apply: August 15, 2013

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!
