New Shoes

Greetings!
What a wonderful crisp, cool, autumn day it is today!!
It makes me want to dig out my wool sweaters and sip on some mulled cider
 while sitting and watching the leaves fall!
I plan to go to the orchard this weekend so I hope the weather remains lovely
as it is today!

I bought some new shoes last week and thought it would be fun to jazz them 
up a bit!  

They were plain suede beige lace shoes by Bass.

I took the laces out and put them aside temporarily.

Then with black permanent marker I made circles and other similar shapes all over the surface of the shoe.

I tried to make some shapes larger than others.

Can you see what animal design I'm going for?

Next .... I filled the shapes in with color (pink)

of course!!

Then I taped down the area that had the spots.

To protect them from the dye.

Now... I was ready to add color to the other part of the shoe.

Let them dry and add the laces...

VOILA!....

I just love them!!!

I wear them with my brown cord paints and pink sweater top!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

Mary
