brass and copper brads.

The shoe is copper treated with
vinegar, salt and ammonia.

I love the blue patina

The South Pas Library is closing so I will retrieve my shoes in a day or two. I expect to reinstall the  collection later in the year when things settle down.

I installed the collection in the South Pasadena Library today but forgot to photograph the display. There are now more than 40 and they still fit in a very easy to carry sample case.  There is certainly an advantage to working in miniature.

It's good to see them gathered together.  I don't display them at home so it's like seeing old friends.
