Stone Age education handling collection order (Short video)

[@Hippiechick11]

I was I could go to this! It looks fascinating. I can tell you, I have nettles drying and I have 2 farm field finds, a chopper and a scraper ready to go. I'm in the American Midwest. Thank you Sally for all your videos!

[@HerRoliness]

Amazing work, so cool to see a bunch of this stuff together.

[@MMacNicol]

Wonderful! Exhibits like these in my childhood really rocked my world and brought history to life. I hope now, lo these many years later, that these experiential archeology tactics are included on purpose more often, as with these pieces you have made. I'm so glad you make them!.

[@GrainneDhub-ll6vw]

Oh gosh, that looks like so much fun and so fascinating. I don't know if I'd actually want to try anything on, I'd be so busy poking around the insides of things, looking at the details and mentally trying to work out exactly how it was all done!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Thank you for the video !!! It's always so nice to have information about your new adventures. 💚

[@alicetulloch6945]

Nice work, Sally. And obviously a lot of work!

[@kaymgee08]

The shoes look blissfully comfortable! Is there a pattern available anywhere?

[@ragnkja]

She has a video tutorial on how to make them to fit your own feet.

[@kaymgee08]

@@ragnkja Thank you so much! Have just found it.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I bought a pair very similar to those at a Ren Faire once. You might look on their websites for them.🤗❤️🐝

[@diffened]

@@kaymgee08 I just made a pair based on that video. They don't look nearly as good as hers, but they are very comfortable and functional. I plan on making some more because I loved her instructional video on how to make them and want to try to make them look as good as hers, hopefully. A fun little project

[@bnalive5077]

They’re called “pucker toe moccasins” all sorts of instructions online. Pretty basic Native American style moccasin.

Sally Pointer you are Amazing ❤

[@pohjanvanamo]

Cool 😊

[@Sheepdog1314]

excellent

[@DC-wt2vi]

A nice short video, thank you Sally. These recreations in natural materials are very important for education, not only for children but adults. They provide whole experiences that engage touch, heft and feel along with good scents and smells of the real thing that generations born since the boom of synthetic oil and plastic fibres of the 1980's might not be familiar with. As costumes age and change with handling, so there will be opportunities to discuss the importance to ancient people of maintenance and mending, and how it continues to be relevant to those of us who have not adopted wasteful fast, disposable fashion.

Amazing 👏

[@markbrandli]

Good to hear you. Those are beautifully done.

[@BryanKoenig379]

I was wondering do you make a living doing this kind of thing bc if so you are the luckiest lady alive lol. I also love making paleolithic things and I've just recently started to try and sell stuff on eBay. But my point is I'm getting at a time in my life where I want to do the things I love and a job having something to do with our ancient ancestors would be amazing.

[@BryanKoenig379]

Thank you for your videos they are amazing I come back to them at times like today the Neolithic fiber extractor you made I also made one I just love the ideas that you have

[@SallyPointer]

I do make a living across all the things I do, mostly teaching and demonstrating at heritage sites, but also making items like this. It's not a high wage, but it's enough to pay the bills and I'm very happy to be doing it

[@debbiej.2168]

​@@SallyPointerLucky you!

[@BryanKoenig379]

​@@SallyPointer 😊 that is amazing

[@jjjjj-y2d]

How do you do those shoes? They are marvelous!

[@SallyPointer]

There's a whole video about them on my channel

[@jjjjj-y2d]

@@SallyPointer thank you! I'll watch it :)

[@bnalive5077]

The “leather shoes” are called pucker toe moccasin’s.

[@SallyPointer]

They are found in many areas and across at least five thousand years, we just don't know what they were called in prehistoric Europe

[@diffened]

@@SallyPointer hahaha I have on good authority by my very good and very old friend Rocky Igneous that they were indeed called pucker toe shoes. Sally, I've been wanting to make my own leather shoes or moccasins for over 40 years and your instructional video about how to make one type of old style shoe actually got me to do it. Don't look anywhere as good as yours but I've been wearing them and I am going to try again and see if they come out better. Thanks

[@diffened]

@@misssmith7225 Of course, but I am serious about making another pair.

[@misssmith7225]

​@@diffened Thank you for answering my question, even though it was impolite of me. 💐Online, I'm slowly finding it difficult to perceive truth or a jest. But I am in north America, which is currently having reality issues. However none of that is your problem! My apologies for my rudeness, and my thanks for your reply to my poor noggin.

[@caspenbee]

American kids would absolutely destroy these amazing creations 😅 hopefully UK kids are a bit gentler, because those are such treasures!! Families will definitely be delighted.

[@ArsonFire00]

What a daft statement?

[@Amanda-yf7vj]

That's terrible! Maybe spoiled rotten children but I assure you there are spoiled rotten children everywhere in the world. Parents have seased to actually parent their children. Just 1 of the corruptions of this time!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I can guarantee you that my children would not have destroyed them. Why would you lump a whole country of children together and call them destructive? Not only is that plain wrong, it’s hateful.

[@Just_Sara]

@@deborahdanhauer8525 As an American former child, I can verify that if you left this out with a bunch of kids, well, it only takes one or two to really wreck it. I was a kid who was taught how to not damage things, but in the US, even with 99% of the kids treating it well, this would still be quickly destroyed if a conscientious adult who cares to keep these in good condition is not nearby. The OP here may not have been implying that all American kids are destructive, because like I said, it only takes a few. I'm sure these items would be eventually wrecked by kids in most countries around the world! I hope you have a great rest of your day. :)
