Since working on shoes only would drive me crazy, I started a reconstruction of a belt from the 3rd century AD, found in the grave of what was most probably a Germanic nobleman. Plus I wanted to try working with gold leaf for some time now anyway :-) )
Still a lot of work left, but here are a few pics of the first steps:

preparing the gilding:
