Muddy Boot Collection

The river is a symbol of life, the passage of time, and the power of nature. It is a reminder to live life to the fullest and to respect every place you visit. Since I love to travel, I wanted to take a piece of my favorite places with me everywhere I go. Louisiana (my home) is one of these places for me. In Louisiana, the Red River forms the boundary between Caddo and Bossier parishes and flows southeast. By creating a special mixture of soil from the Red River with moldable binders (a sort of"mud," if you will) and forming my Muddy Boot Jewelry collection, I was able to find a unique and fun way to wear a beautiful symbol of life and take a little piece of home with me everywhere I go!
