Ankle boots made of leather

These are similar to the white ankle boots I made earlier. The main difference is the material, which was leather this time. That meant that I could glue the seams instead of sewing.
 

I had lost the PDF file with the text I use in the insoles, so instead of trying to recreate that I decided to scan and use my own text (the original used a font available in Word 2007, but I had forgotten its name).


This photo shows the boot's upper part finished. Only the outer sole and heel are missing.


Here are the finished boots on Ghoulia. This method of buttoning the boots works very well, so I'm sure I will apply it to some other designs as well.

Love all the shoes! I was wondering if you ever sell or would trade them for custom jewelry for MH dolls. Let me know!

Caeti, I don't sell the shoes I make and although I have traded a few pairs, that is limited to people I've known online for a long time.

Your creations are awesome and little pieces of artwork.

Please keep up on showing and thank you very much for the many inspirations. ;)

Tarja, Your work is so creative and meticulous! Thank you for sharing. Did you order this leather online? I am looking for paper-thin pleather for my own miniature projects!

I haven't ordered leather online. What I've got is from a closing sale of a local store. I bought quite a lot as I wasn't sure I'd find another store any time soon.

Good call -- it's sad when a fabric store closes! Well I'm going to continue scouring the net and my local fabric haunts :)
