Ruby Slippers - NOT!

When preparing for my trip to Hawaii I needed some summer-type shoes. I had an old pair of Ecco sandles that had seen better days. They fit well, the soles were fine, but the beige suede was a bit discoloured. Too much running out to the garden to move sprinklers and such!


So I asked myself - can you paint shoes? Why not give it a try. I bought some lovely Stewart Gill paints in Nashville last summer and there they sat in the jars, begging to come out to play. So I gathered brushes and stamps and had a go.


Here is my first band of colour - lime green! Those who know me see me in this colour OFTEN.

And here are the finished shoes on my feet on our deck on the cruise ship. I just HAD to get my toenails painted to match.
