Spring Instep - Shoe Leaves I

... a quiet footfall in the woods might lead you to ...

This delicate slipper is part of a series of four shoes - one for each season.

This was the first ... and now is the last of `THE SHOES LEAVES' series.

SPRING INSTEP is of course the gentle quiet season which creeps up on us unheard and unseen. Often the first we know of it is when the leaves have arrived, dyed that unlikely sap green.

Feathery ash leaves were cast into wax, formed around a cast of Penny, my then assistant's foot, and then cast into bronze at the studio.
