Leather boots

I had to take the photo myself so it looks a bit queer
They are my recent leather work and my first shoes I made. It was a huge amount of labour but it also made great fun and I couldn't believe it - they do really fit! So I think I would make more shoes... The design is part mine, part those of Elrond in the prologue of LotR I and I thought it the best looking and not too complicated for the beginning.
