you gave me the chance, time and again, in vain

now my feelings for you, every tear, every smile, paid in full

[ID: A digital painting of a sunset over the Cassardis docks, at the farthest end of which someone sits, head low. There’s a spark of light over their torso mirroring a bright star at the top of the image. In the distance, a ship sails away over the horizon. End ID.]

During the winter term, I wanted to make a pair of Medieval shoes that could accommodate modern orthotic insoles as part of an exploration of shifting values of production in the global West. After researching extant whole shoes and fragments, illustrations, and historical and modern artisanal shoemaking techniques, I finalized my design based on mid to late 14th century Germanic turnshoes and went with an ankle cut style with medial side laces.

The soles, uppers, and laces are made with veg tanned cow leather and I used linen thread for sewing. I made my own leather conditioner with beeswax and natural oils.

Being my first experiment in shoemaking, it was definitely a lesson in perseverance and resourcefulness and gave me a much greater understanding of and appreciation for the patience and skill of Medieval shoemakers.

This is a study of a still from one of my all-time favourite films, Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. I can never get enough of the layers of texture and detail in every frame. Painting a study was a wonderful way to experience it from a different angle.

REASON & RESOLVE

Even if he gave his life he could not stop Zoraal Ja's army. He could only hope to buy whoever was waiting on the other side of the Dome a little more time... A few more days, perhaps. A few more minutes.

I was so excited I got to commission my friend @beewiildered again! This time a moment from Alphinaud's desperate attempt to sabotage or otherwise delay Zoraal Ja's efforts. I can't sing Alex's praises enough, they always hone right in one what I imagined and elevate it to another level! ♥♥♥

Thank you for commissioning me! It’s such a pleasure to work with you again 💖💖
