Members Vikti Posted February 28, 2011 Members Report Posted February 28, 2011 Now that I am getting both money and time to start I'm starting to work a bit outside of my comfort zone. My wife is getting ready to attend Gulf Wars in Mississippi in a couple of weeks and I decided to start out by making her a new pair of Viking style shoes. All I have left to do is to put a coat of Edgecoat on the sole (which I think I should have done before gluing the sole on) and put the toggles on to hold it closed. Not too bad for a first attempt at footwear as well as creating my own pattern. Damon Quote
Suze Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 they look pretty good tell her to stop by Pillaged Villaged and say Hi I will be working there.... Quote
Members Vikti Posted February 28, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 28, 2011 She's going to be helping out at Bella's Braids throughout the week but I'll ask her to try to stop by and show them off. Damon Quote
Suze Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 cool -- I may see her at Bella's too Quote
Members RuehlLeatherWorks Posted February 28, 2011 Members Report Posted February 28, 2011 Nice job! Not to nitpick, but the straps cross to the inside of the foot so that you can cross your leg over your knee and buckle it. Great job on them, though! They turned out much better that my first attempt! Quote
Members Dmitri Posted February 28, 2011 Members Report Posted February 28, 2011 I still need to do my attemp for my wife and myself for Quad War end of July in Marsden Sask. Canada. We do early Rus but I think I will attempt later period for the footwear, a little more ornate. and heck I have alot of red leather kicking around any way. I think you do a very nice job for a first attempt. I hope mine turn out as well. Quote
