Altered Couture of the Month- Customize Your Shoes Tutorial
Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 06:00PM Recently, I was in the market for a new pair of black wedge sandals. Though I liked the simple form of these wedges from Urban Outfitters, I wasn't crazy about the non-black heel. At first I thought, "thats ok, I'll just buy them and rub black shoe polish over the pseudo-suede heel." Ok. So probably not the best idea I ever had, but thats the great thing about thinking... sometimes one thought leads you to ANOTHER! And lucky for you my blog on Artful Living is here to share it with you!!

very cool, individuality is the only thing that separates us. declare war on cookie cutter conformity.
This is so amazing! You should be a shoe designer!
This is amazing ! The shoe came out beautifully and it looks like a lot of fun to make ! Maybe i'll try that out this summer :)

i love them. can't wait to see you today.
okay so let me begin by stating the obvious: these look amazing.
however, i was particularly struck by the part where you wrote the names of the artists because it reminded me of the banners that hang over the starbucks inside barnes and noble that depict all the coolest writers.

These are great, so creative! I, too, love the addition of the artist's signatures. A very empowering pair of sandals and very unique. You should consider teaming up with a shoe company. (PS, It's always fun to see how a fellow school mate has pursued their art!)
Those wedges are so cool and awesome. And the way it was presented is so good. I admire the creative mind of the stylist of the shoes
These pair of wedge will totally wrap up an outfit. These will totally another thing to check out for a collection.
