Default stainless stiletto heels

Here's the latest from my sculpture studio. They are about four feet long. Mostly 22 and 24 ga. 304 stainless and 22 ga. cold rolled steel, with a little bar stock thrown in.





The most difficult part was beating those heels out of sheet metal. Stainless work hardens almost instantly. I hate the damn stuff, but I can't resist it; it's so gorgeous when you're finally done.

Nice. Do you work in anything else, like brass?
