I think most have already seen my inventory. However, if you still want me to post some photos of my stuff, I will be glad to.

I saw this shoe at Koji's work shop-I used it as a base for my current order with him:

Of course, let's not forget Guild of Crafts, the first trial shoe, the second and the cool looking diplomas. I am still waiting for the third trial shoe, which should come next month.

LC,
Sadly, I cannot find any pictures of my Kleman's. Also, I had some cool pictures of a Japanese maker in Ginza-his name was Saion. He was definitely a contender, but I cannot find those pictures either at the moment.

No, he just used the same last that he used for my boots, which resulted in the effect that you see.
