I love their imagination!" -Sandy Scrivano, author of Sewing With Leather and Suede Margot Silk Forrest and Destiny Carter have taught thousands of women (and a few intrepid men) how to paint, bead, bedeck and embellish their shoes, boots, sandals, sneakers, shoulder bags, totes, handbags and clutches. In this new edition, they take the Shoe-It-Yourself Movement to a new level. "The shoes had me drooling! What a jewel this book is -- and so timely! It does a great job of clearly, thoroughly and entertainingly guiding even beginners to creating great 'new' shoes and purses." -Annette Pierson, Jacquard Products pro
Sassy Feet: Paint, Embellish and LOVE Your Shoes (and Bags)! I LOVE this book and the fabulous techniques that fill its pages! Margot Silk Forrest and Destiny Carter embellish shoes professionally, and their work has been featured numerous times in Altered Couture Magazine. In this book, they share their secrets for painting leather and manmade leather shoes (and purses and boots) so the paint job looks professional and the paint doesn't peel or crack, plus many, many tips and techniques for embellishing your painted shoes and bags to give them a whole new lease on life with lots of sass and style! And the photos will inspire you to start raiding your own closet (or the nearest discount shoe store) in search of footwear to make more fabulous.I had terrific results (and lots of fun) using these techniques to transform a boring pair of old, matronly, beige comfort sandals into a fresh, fun, and fanciful pair painted in shades of aquas, greens and blues and bedecked with faux blue topaz jeweled straps. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I chronicled my experience with step-by-step photos on Squidoo.com (in a lens called How to Paint Shoes for Frugal Fashion Fun, which was featured as Squidoo's Lens of the Day in May, 2012). The authors of the book, Sassy Feet, liked my lens about their book and techniques so much that they blogged about it on their own Sassy Feet blog, Glitter Sweatshop. So if you want to see how even the most plain, boring footwear can be jazzed up with the help of this wonderful book, check out the photos on my Squidoo lens, and then BUY THIS BOOK and have a blast painting and embellishing your own shoes, sandals, boots, and even handbags!
