Friend of the Straw Sandals Project Donna Crispin just completed a beautiful pair of hand woven shoes.  Donna told me that she crafted them from plaited willow bark from her yard.  To this material she added hand spun paper cord, commercial paper cord, yellow cedar and red cedar bark.  Here is a peek at the shoes:

Donna very aptly named them Forest Shoes.  She has just opened a blog on which she describes how the materials were harvested and prepared as well as how the shoes were constructed.  This is a great opportunity to interact with the weaver and trade information and questions.  Donna and I invite you to join the blog here.
