I made this for Beverly’s mother – she adores Elvis!
The bottom half is floating over velvet, which is a first for me. The dog is a the late Sadie.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they arrive at a fork in their road. They are faced with a choice. For some of us, we decided long ago what our answer would be. Some of us have no choice. For some of us, the fork is still in the drawer, hanging out with the spoons.
The choice I’m speaking of, obviously, is to make shoes, or not. I took a break from my regularly scheduled deadline production and I made some. They aren’t practical in the conventional sense, but, they can be useful.
I’ve been thinking about this project for a long time, and I have stored up materials to make other kinds of shoes. This month’s Punk Frocker’s challenge prompt is #pfSewNotClothes, so I thought I’d dip my toes in and finally start this project. I’ll write more about it when I refine this process and develop the other prototypes.
I think it’s pretty cool.

I love this bookstore, and it brought us a lot of joy during the pandemic. It was one of the few places we ventured on dates.
The title says it all.
This was a sweet commission for a nice man.
