    Back form the dead... Sort of...

    Hi Everyone,

    First and foremost I'd like to apologise to everyone that PM'd me or asked questions in the thread that I haven't replied to. Life has been busy and as you may have guessed I took a bit of a hiatus from shoe making.

    I'd like to thank everyone that sent messages and posted replies with praise. I appreciate all your kind words and thank you! I'd also like to again thank Holger from Hide-M who kindly gave me the opportunity to showcase my handy work in his wonderful boutique, truly a once in a lifetime opportunity and hopefully one day I'll be able to visit it in person.

    Well you might be wondering why I'm posting on here again? After all the shoes made for friends/family/Hide-M I never actually made any for myself... Well at least not one of the "proper" refined models I had created. Looking at my shoe lasts and spare leather I had an epiphany... Its time to make my magnum opus! (LOL)

    Without further delay, here is what I've made. These are the boot version, fully hand stitched, fully hand welted, topy soled and heeled, hand dyed periodically to get that extra dimension in colour, then washed in water, treated with methylated spirits, dyed again, leather conditioned, hand polished and left to dry. As with all my shoes no machinery was used, only hand tools.

    Enjoy!

          Yes, I like these a lot! Hope to see more of your work! I love seeing a magnum opus challenged by its creator through practice and growth!
