... she leaves for the woodland ball with a shimmy ...

Bringing to mind the warm summer evenings, you imagine you might catch a glimpse of this elegant little number sashaying her way around the woodland dance floor.

Flirtation in her steps, she leaves you wanting more ...

Part of a series of four leaf shoes - one for each season, they were first made as a commissioned present from a fond husband for his wife with a shoe fetish!

The commission was for a single shoe - but the technique to make them is precarious, so that I needed to make more than one to ensure a successful outcome. On this occasion we were lucky, and all four survived!

SUMMER SALSA was the piece that they chose.
