A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "All handcrafted leather Mocs, boots, purses, hats, bracelets and much more. Hand cut, and hand sewn with leather or waxed string. Cow and buffalo leather mostly. Recycled airplane inner tube or buffalo soles. Designs are reflective on Native culture, the natural world around us and the materials worked with. All work is made by us and our original designs. Unique, useful art. Gabriel is self taught artist who has imparted his knowledge to his family and offered an economic opportunity to his brothers and mother as well. Gabriel has been practicing his craft for over thirty years."
