Time to get going on figuring out boots. Past time, really. I had taped up a last *ages* ago - the same one I used for the blue and black oxford. Tonight, I wrapped my leg in scrap fabric, then taped it up, cut off the tape, and added it to the last. I have no idea how this is really supposed to work, but this works for me.
Next I'll work on the design. At some point, I have to actually make a decision about whether I want it to lace up the front (probably a good idea) or zip up the side (closer to what I want it to look like, I think). Either way, I can finally get off my butt and do something about this.
I haven't heard back from my contact at Jones & Vining recently. I should really poke her, but on the other hand, I don't have the money just laying around at the moment to splurge on a bunch of lasts. I'd really love to do a boot with a taller heel - but perhaps that can wait until I have a better idea about what I'm doing.
