This is the other thing that distracted me today! I was having a little stroll through my bloglines and went to see what Elizabeth had been doing. This!! Wow! I couldn't resist. I have a lovely comfy pair of shoes that have seen better days and that I keep for the garden and the studio so I had nothing to lose.
No, they didn't come with black lines on, I forgot to photograph them before I started. Doh! and here is the finished article.........

Excuse the fluffy bit of sock! I've painted the shoes with Jacquard Lumiere Metallics and I will seal them with some beeswax as I don't have anything else.

Aren't they great! My DH has dared me to wear them when we go round to our friends later this evening - it's worth a bar of chocolate so what do you think?!? No brainer!

Don't forget to tell us about the reactions you get!
I saw you comment on Elizabeth's site. I wanted to see what you had done. I love them. Great job.
What a fabulous idea, I must check out my wardrobe
Fantastic!!! Now I wonder if I'd have the same results with acrylics, as I don't have the posh Jacquard Lumiere Metallics. I've got a great pair of those comfy clogs that nurses wear in ER, they'd be perfect :-)
WOW! I think they cud wizz yu off to the land of Oz!
Oh yes - I do hope you wore them and that you got the chocolate too!!
These are wonderful, Julie! I read Elizabeth's post, too, and plan to jazz up an old pair of Birkenstocks I have. Great! Did you win your bet?
Ooh! I love them! They look great!
brilliant - wear them with pride!
