book: Altered shoes

Altered Shoes: A Step-By-Step Guide To Making Your Footwear Fabulous by Marty Stevens-Heebner. Krause Publications (March 4, 2009)

I have always thought that altering shoes to be a crazy idea and this book has not changed my mind. While there are some fun and cool projects in here – many of the projects sort of look a bit bodgy/dodgy to me and I am not sure the shoes were really improved much along the way. However some of the ideas are intriguing – such as decoupaged shoes – I have seen this done really well with stamps and the shoes in this book have been decoupaged with pages from an old passport and old maps – quite interesting and successful. Not sure about crazy quilted boots or glitter beaded shoes, but maybe for a special occasion?
