Oxford Booties

The Oxford Bootie is my iconic signature style. Hand welted, silk lined  and on Louis heels. Fitted snugly to the ankle!

Inspiration

Here you can see a variety of personal commissions, illustrating themes as diverse as the flora & fauna of Kazakhstan, sigils created by a wise woman to the wishes of a client to evoke powers of intuition & creativity
among others, a stained glass window and the binding of a book.
The techniques I variously employed were, ink work, silk embroidery on silk set into leather embossed mullions. Other techniques I have used include
22ct gold tooling.
