This shoe was one of my oldest son, Brandon's 1st walking shoes. I only had the one, I don't know what happened to the other one, but I painted it with copper paint, & felted a wool ball to fit inside for a pin cusion. It was one of our gifts to him & Laura for the new baby to be.

Something sentimental and useful! A rare combination, Deb.
How cute!
Wow..Great idea!
What a lovely idea but how did you manage to keep track of that shoe over all these years
That is a wonderful idea!
Cute idea with the shoe! My mom had ours bronzed and they are on the shelves at her house, along with her own that were bronzed. Boy did I have big feet when I learned how to walk!
What a wonderful idea! Love the design on the felting =-)
This is a terrific gift. I love things that preserve family memories, and this one is practical as well. Jen
oh, this makes me want to dig through the boxes in my storage closet to find my children's shoes! how cute cute cute!
That is a terrific idea. I always thought bronzing was too expensive, but hadn't thought of doing anything myself.
Good idea, Deb! I've loved having my family around too. Have a great New year in 2007.

Hi Deb,
Thanks for visiting my site. I loved seeing your work and the snow in Alaska. Being snowed in and having more time to spend in my studio would be wonderful. The fiber pieces are beautiful! Have a blessed New Year!
