還記得自己第一次握著製鞋刀，跟著義大利的老師傅學製鞋，試著揣摩各種進刀角度。"Fare cosi, fare cosi. Brava brava." - 教授在旁指導著我，看起來比我還緊張；大概是刀子太鋒利，一個閃神就有可能前功盡棄，或者，劃破吹彈可破的肌膚。"Faccio cosi, faccio cosi. Ho ricordato bene" - 邊製鞋邊拾起記憶中的片段。“教授，不用擔心，每個步驟與叮嚀，我都深深地銘記在心。
This is an old technique that hiding thread inside sole leather. Shoemakers cutting slice of grain with bare hand and a big knife. Not cutting through it, instead, remaining only a very thin thin layer on the top. It is one of iconic process in high-end #handwelted shoes indeed.
I remembered when I first holding my knife, trying to figure out the right position under my Italian Maestro's guidance. It was a nervous moment but I was so excited to try it out. "Fare cosi, fare cosi. Brava brava." - Maestro patiently guided me on the side, he seems more nervous than I was. The knife we use for shoemaking was very sharp, it could easily shave a slice of leather, so do humans'.
“Faccio cosi, faccio cosi. Ho ricordato bene"- No worries maestro, I remembered it all well.
Following this old Italian way making a pair, and now, I am working on my own.
Every little piece of memories has come to me, now and then...
