In all honesty, they are not actual shoes quite yet. It's the stuff to make shoes, ballet flats specifically. I need new ones. After much online shopping, I was unable to find a single pair that would replace my old ones, (at least in a vaguely reasonable price range).
So I did research. Ballet flats are supposedly easy to make. I bought a pattern, (she has a fabric boot one too).
I bought supplies, glue and sole material.
I still need to dig out fabric. Goodness knows I have some I could use.
But the plan is to make a test pair, see if it's a viable idea or me just thinking I need to make all the things. *stares guilty at the stacks of sewing, mountains of knitting projects, and hoard of sparkly embroidery floss for embroidery and cross stitch* *turns head, notices shelf full of new paints waiting quietly*
The sweater I was going to finish? The one just missing fairly short sleeve? Yeah, still not done.
I did finish the knitting on the Ladyhawke shawl though! Still need to block it.
As for the art, Daughter sent me a link to this particular piece (that was not the artists' shop). I immediately went and found the artists' store.
Smitten. Absolutely smitten. Hit me right in The Aesthetic.
They have coloring books! I bought a couple of prints; The Rabbat and The Raven. I also bought a sticker. The next one on my list to get is The Great Horned Scowl.
There will likely be others.
I will need things to look at while making shoes. ;-)
