I saw these fabulous painted shoes in the new Gudrun Sjoden catalog. Just darling! And I lusted for a pair until I saw that they cost $190.00!!!!
So..... I awoke very early yesterday and was thinking about these shoes. I remembered I had these old mossy green canvas slip-ons that I've hardly ever worn, but have had forever. I almost got rid of them this week while on a clean-out, take no hostages, kind of spree.
I dug them out and started going through my bjillion bottles of craft paints. Here's the beginning of my new painted shoes project..........
I painted them last night. Today I started the fun creative part and ended up with these......
No..... they're not Gudrun, leather with spiffy flowers..... but price $0.00. Satisfaction of renewing something old into something new and fun..... priceless (well, maybe not priceless... but it sure beats spending $190.00!).

Great Idea, Dulcy. I bet if you put on a layer of acrylic clear matt, they would last forever too.
Wow. They are darling! And even better at a $190 discount.
Love this, I too lust after such shoes, but sadly rarely buy anything but boots. I think your shoes are just as glorious as the catalogue ones and all the better for being truly green.
Oh by the way do pop by and see what just hatched out of an egg.
Very cute! Who would have thought to paint their shoes????
You're very clever!! They look good!!!
You're so clever -those are adorable!
Dulcy, you have really been on a creative binge turning out lots of wonderful stuff....
I love your painted shoes....I painted zentangles on an old pair of Merrills last year and got so many compliments on them....
You must model them for us with one of your repurposed outfits.....
pure awesomeness:)

Love your painted shoes! what a great idea. I once covered some Merrell clogs with rug hooking!
