I decided to start modeling my jeans in clay and glaze, and I just love making them.  They have evolved over the years, and, as influenced by my last 15 years in Texas, many have become cowboys, as shown in my latest gallery pieces.  Each pair of jeans is individually hand-built, painstakingly detailed, glazed, and painted, one at a time, each with their own uniqueness, just like each of us. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pamela Gross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43292995420249,"sku":"124308","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/8707\/9001\/files\/Pam-Gross-Tap-Dancer-1_83151b04-4276-47ac-b5fb-b7f31ffab79a.jpg?v=1778697135","url":"https:\/\/artforthepeoplegallery.com\/products\/walkabout-jeans-tap-dancer-by-pamela-gross","provider":"Art For The People Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
