I'm very nervously counting down now as I am very very VERY tense! The positive aspects of this experience are that the upper of the shoe is almost done, and my sketchbook and blog are looking healthy (I think!). However there is still the matter of making the glass pieces AND fixing it all together, so the pressure is on!
I hope to get it all done by the end of Thursday so I can allow Friday for either celebrating, panicking, or amending any ridiculous mistakes, like smashing glass.
I spent this morning shaping my copper toe caps with various anvils and I think they've come out really well! I'm really happy with the shape and I've pickled them too so they're a really lovely peachy colour now. I still need to shine them up a little more as they have a lot of marks on them from the hammer, and also some dents but I can get them out using a dremel, which I will have to learn how to use...
I didn't take any photos today because I'm stupid and forgot, whilst getting very carried away with the hammer and anvil! I will take some tomorrow of what I've done so far!
Oh and I cleaned up the copper wire spires which I forgot to mention that I completed yesterday, I'll takes some photos of them too!
