basic Ohio style mocs(Wyandot/Shawnee/Delaware)
richardzane:
thanks! ONE of these days I'll get around to beading ankle flaps and create a sew-on vamp.
Some were made so that when soles wore out, you could cut em loose
and transfer the quilled or beaded flaps and vamps onto a new pair. We went through LOTS of moccasins
hunting, fighting Brits or Americans....why waste a womans painstaking sewing of distinction and beauty?
maybe it was like carrying a pic of your sweetheart to battle to remind you why you were fighting. ;)

Beautiful job!
They look very comfortable.

Nice job on the mocs Richard. They are beautiful and look like they'd feel amazing on the feet!
richardzane:
thanks! they're pretty comfy, the thick elk hide adds a little extra padding to "shoe-spoiled" feet :)
