I just posted a new Lesson on Late 16th C. Wedges (Cork). This lesson is based upon some engravings done in the late 16th C. of corked shoes which have a bit of a wedge heel.
These shoes have a carved cork interior acting as the wedge, and an extended rand which envelopes the cork wedge (often referred to as “envelope” construction). Enjoy!
Although the extant heels were the inspiration for this piece, there were a couple of departures that I took. I look forward to your comments, and hope that you enjoy!

Announcing the sixth Project Lesson – Early 17th C. Lady’s Mules (Timber). These mules were finished in November of 2009, but I’m adding the post simply to facilitate searching. See attached for a teaser pic!
