'matrix'


This shoe came together even more quickly than the last.  But I think it's time to take a little break (as in a day or two) to get back to playing music.


The next shoe is likely to take much longer.  The idea is brewing but not nearly fully formed.
This design was drawn with marker
and the mustard colored accents
were inset.

'complimentary'

This shoe came together faster than any
other in recent memory.




I cut a slot in the last to accommodate the
 thong. My new tabletop belt sander came in
 handy for shaping the platform and 
Rit dye was used to color it.

This post is a little premature since the upper of this shoe is not actually attached to the platform but I was anxious to get it out there.
This color combination was a stretch for me but I quite like it.
