Here is the first pair from the new smaller lasts. I created a pointed toe although the lasts are not pointed. It was a reasonably successful experiment and not as tedious as I expected.
Next I will try the small high heeled lasts - but not in the immediate future. I have homework :)
This photo shows how the finished shoes looked initially. The pointed toes were too long and their upward curve flattened before the tip. I feared to ruin them but one morning I just snipped off the tips, deconstructed the toes and glued them back together. Somewhat to my surprise, it worked perfectly. Leather is the most forgiving material.
