New Shoes

There hasn't been much by way of new work or creativity round here of late.

 

 

Nothing much new since the beginning of June if I'm going to be perfectly honest.

 

But I'm taking one day at a time and hope that when I'm ready there will be new ideas and new work.

 

Meanwhile, I've been back to work this week with some teaching and making a couple of things for an exhibition that opens next week.

 

A couple of pairs of paper shoes made entirely from recycled paper, card, lace, trims and buttons.

Paper Shoes

Long time readers of this blog will know I have a bit of a thing about shoes.

And as well as real shoes I've a rather a fascination with paper shoes too.

One of those things I thought I would always like to try making but I never quite got around to it.

So when I wanted to make a little thank you present for someone else who has a bit of a thing about paper shoes, it seemed an ideal opportunity.

Armed with an old cereal packet, old book pages, PVA, some lace and a glue gun, I set to work.

And believe it or not, they were not nearly as tricky as they look.

And they were loads of fun to make.

And the recipient likes them too!

Don't think she ought to wear them out in the rain though!
