Day 1:
The letter is A - ALTERED ART
I chose to alter a shoe. I'll be using one of a set of two high-heels of my daughter.
To begin, I gently sanded and scuffed up the shoe, the sole and the heel parts. The reason I did this, was so the other mediums such as primer and paint would adhere better.
Next, I began painting the shoe. I wanted to make something
The next step I did was decide what I wanted to do with the open area of the shoe. I decided upon turning the complete project into a ring and jewelry holder. I measured out a piece of foam, then cut it down to fit inside of the open area. I adhered it in place with wet glue.
After the glue dried, I continued working on the shoe itself. I added fringe from the open area near the toes all the way around to the other side. At the back of the shoe, I added a purple bow with a pearl inset. I added a strand of lace over the toe area on I also adhered a strand of pearls along the open area using my hot glue gun. On the heel spike, I wrapped soft purple bling there and glue it with the hot glue gun as well.
I finished up altering the shoe by placing large silk flowers that I had in my stash to make the shoe pop.
Anything can be altered if you think outside of the box. I love bringing the twists and turns to my crafting projects. Sometimes, I even amaze myself!
A to Z Challenge, this ought to be fun for the next 30 days! What do you have that you can alter?
Happy Crafting!

How fun and what a beautiful shoe. If I was going to alter something I would use a purse.
