I love how our lives are woven together.

Putting on my dancing shoes

It's been a while since I've worn these shoes.

The kind of shoes that come along once in a lifetime

They were different

So odd that I had to have them

But I could not wear them the way they were

They just didn't fit right

It's not that they were the wrong size

No

They fit my feet

But they didn't fit my style

They were

too white




They were just the right amount of different.....but they were too white.


So I got out my paints and I got out my ribbons and I got out  a few rubberstamps,
 a craft knife and some glue.
I got out some wire, some charms and some beads.



As I added each drop of paint, the shoes started to take on a new life

my life

my colorful life

soon they were ready for the dance



The Art Dance


It's been a while since I've worn these shoes.

But


I am putting them back on

I am going to the dance again


Are you ready to put on your dancing shoes?

If I showed these to my daughter, she'd say, "mom, can I have them!!!"
They look so like what she'd wear. Her sister got her a pair of converse shoes especially designed for her!
Very cool!

Your dancing shoes are absolutely crazy in the coolest possible way, Marianne! So imaginative and totally fun!!

Thanks for dropping by DesignTies the other day and commenting on my ResinArt project... you definitely should give it a try because if you had fun creating your twirling around the dance floor with wild abandon shoes, then you'll have fun with this project too. :-)
