Fairy shoes

I attended a EG workshop with Annette Emms , A lovely lady and a good tutor who does great work it was a great day Annette makes beautiful books often with a pair of shoes and a notebook inside using an old legend as a theme.the outer covers are made from 2 block painting canvasses.


These are some of Annette`s shoes she thinks of a fairy before making them she did all of the fairies in Midsummers nights dream,



Annette is a great tutor warm hearted and generous with her ideas,nothing is too much trouble



This is a photo of all of the shoes produced at the workshop some unfinished. They are displayed on 2 pieces of cork bark I picked up in Portugal whilst playing golf, they are lovely cork trees are not so great when you are trying to play golf they are always in the way, and if you hit one the ball pings off for miles.



These are the 2 pairs of shoes I made, my theme was woodland fairies, so these are the wood blueit fairy ( a type of fungus & delicious)

And these are the moss fairy.
