to wear dreams on one's feet...

Those of you have read my little description to your right, will have noticed that I claim to be a cobbler. "J'accuse!" you say. "Prove it!" you exclaim to the heavens. Firstly, whoa, ease up on the hostility it is very early, too early for that attitude. Secondly, How dare you doubt my integrity, you scallywag! Dramatics behind us, I give to you proof of my cobbling skills. I, officially, present the first pair of shoes I ever made. I'm very proud of them as for me they mark a sort of return to studying a lost passion of mine (fashion and accessories). As a designer and crafts person, yes, I can point out things I would like to change or have done better but in doing so I would be taking away from the all the joy they have brought and continue to bring to me. Not to be alarmed, I have continued my studies to increase my level of craftsmanship and understanding of the unique processes involved in hand making a quality pair of shoes. I hope you love them or at the very least appreciate the work that goes into this beautiful and dying art.
