Frost Boils Boot Cuffs
About this Design: Experience the enchanting phenomenon of "Sorted Circles" or "Frost Boils," which arise from the intricate process of soil heaving due to the freezing and thawing cycle. This natural occurrence results in the larger particulates being pushed to the surface and forming beautifully defined circles, bordered by stones and surrounded by a center of finer material, much like the stunning boot cuffs you are about to create.
