Summer sandals

Make Art Monday!

I shared this pair of painted sandals before, but I thought I should show you a second pair and maybe suggest that it might be a nice project for a quick pair of summer wearable art.

I don’t like buying new shoes. In fact, I tend to wear the same pair of sandals all year, even in the snow. When they get worn out, I do buy a new pair (the exact same style…aren’t I exciting?), but I can’t stand to just throw out the old pair.

So I usually paint them.

After a friend saw my re-furbished sandals, she asked for a pair. This is what I made for her, but unfortunately, they didn’t fit. So we ended up donating them to a local school auction!

Baa baa, Black Sheep

Tomorrow for Technique Tuesday, we’ll talk about the particulars. In the meantime, find a pair that you’re willing to sacrifice, and make sure the surface is good and clean!
