Leather and Beads

Good Day! It’s Saturday morning and I thought I would do a small blog post. I’m new to blogging on WordPress but I have decided to learn more about it. My name is Debbie and I am a buckskin and bead work artist living outside of Sedona, Arizona. My husband John and I have been doing this for over 20 years now. John designs custom handmade handbags and does leather work and I do bead work and leather work. We make a variety of different things from leather handbags, leather totes, beaded baby moccasins, flute bags, pipe bags, leather cuffs and much more. Here are some photos of what we do.
