Handmade Low-Wedge Ballerina Slip ons.



I finally have made myself a unique pair of ballerina flats. I have been on this kick with, what I call, the frankenstein wedge.
I dislike not being able to wear heels for long periods of time, all the blood rushing towards my feet while signs of blisters emerge. So to solve this issue of mine, I have created a simple slip on wedge that easily converts from dressy to casual. So excited to wear them out.

Handmade Steampunk Chukka Boots


These are my hand-crafted leather steampunk chukka boots, made for my collection during my Senior year at Savannah College of Art and Design. They were on display for a year at SCAD but now they are in my rightful possession and placed upon my size 38 foot. They are not only comfortable, but handmade, and the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I hope for the day I see others walking around in these wearable works of art.

Handmade Leather Oxfords


These are Handmade Leather Oxfords. It is a whole cut pattern piece, meaning that the dark hide is actually painted on to create the illusion of a geniune oxford. Although this was a beginners stage of hand crafted oxfords, I managed to learn an awesome technique in the process. The soles are at the raw stage of completetion. Next comes hand shaping, painting, and then buffed and polished.
