   Jan has been creating home and clothing products most of her life.
     While working as a teacher and a law-enforcement officer,
     she enjoyed using her creative muse to the delight
     of her friends and family. 

    Blessed with a multitude of skills; Jan began beading in the
     American Indian tradition in her teens.  
     (Jan's grandparents were missionaries to Quapaw, Zuni 
     & Navajo Indians and she learned to bead
     from her grandmother.)
     She has created beaded hat bands in native patterns 
     and inlayed tooled belts with her beading. 

    Always a great seamstress, Jan has used those skills in creating 
    products.
    It was an easy transition for her to working with leather sewing
    machines and she enjoys creating leather and tapestry products
    such as purses and tote bags.

   Randy's grandfather, Floyd Morris, started out by making boots and established a 'saddle and harness shop' in Strafford, Oklahoma in 1929. The shop moved to Ada, Oklahoma and was renamed "Morris Boot Shop". It soon gained a reputation for fine custom saddles and tack. Randy's dad, Austin Morris, took over the shop and Randy started learning to make and repair a variety of leather crafts at the age of 12.  Randy built his first saddle at the age of 19 and eventually took over management of the entire shop.  In the 90's Randy moved to Branson, Missouri and is now the 'Resident Leather Craftsman" at the nationally known theme park,Silver Dollar City. Randy works with the skills learned from his grandfather and father, keeping the tradition of creating fine leather products.
