we have tracked down enough for 2 classes...
FINALLY...
The idea has been brewing for months...
but I wanted real vintage shoe lasts...
YIPPEE...
we now have enough for 2 limited edition classes...
The first will be @ For Keeps Sake in St. Louis, Saturday April 24th.
The class limit is 30, because that's all I have...
the second has been offered to a store...we'll see.
I have the sample done........
let me just say...
FUN to the MAX!!
And how does BIKINI fit in with shoes?
Get ready for this...
Susan had a birthday recently and a group member, HELENE HUBER sent her a card.
Susan thought I'd like to see a VERY CUTE...
VERY UNIQUE use for some studio 490 stamps.
Is this not THE CUTEST???
GREAT job of thinking outside the box Helene...
I think this is the perfect invite for a swim party...
or a little girls birthday invite, and obviously a fun card.
Thanks for sharing this cool idea...
Moving on...
THANK YOU FOR 94 comments!!
Since we got lots...
I have a goodie package for...

ReplyDeleteOh I so want to see a shoe now. . . you are not the only one who is not patient!
ReplyDeleteVery cute bikini what a fun idea.
Great bathing suit Helene! I hope warmer weather comes to all of us soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I love that card!!!! Hope to hear about your book soon! Can't wait to get a copy. Signed, sealed and delivered!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes. The bikini was a great idea. No chance of putting one on in Illinois, way too cold!!!
ReplyDeleteThe shoe class sounds like fun! That card is too cute! Way to go Helene! and congrats to Elaine!
ReplyDeleteThat bikini is fab and I can't wait to see what you are doing with the shoes ... no seriously ... I can't wait :0)
ReplyDeleteVery curios to see how you altered those shoes! Hmmm stamps, ink, grunge, ideaology... shoes....
ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish I was closer to take the shoe class - I even have my own shoes - like yours - I think I have 2 of them - rats, how fun - I need to travel more in the direction of your class.
ReplyDeleteI have shoes! Whatcha gonna do with yours? Can't wait to see what cool ideas you have to share!
ReplyDeleteLove that card to!! ;)
ReplyDeleteand about the shoes... OMG, CANT WAIT to see!!
Hi Wendy! I know that you aren't a big techie, but it would sure would be nice if your teaching schedule linked to the stores/events. I'm addicted enough that I'd be willing to take road trips, & I know I've met others who traveled to take classes I've been at. Enable our addiction, PLEASE! XF [I'm so not techie that I can't even figure out how to get this thing to credit me]
ReplyDeleteThose shoes look interesting & that card is too cute. I sure wish that you'd come to my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes! Cute! Can't wait to see your ideas with the shoes!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you have in mind for the shoe lasts!! Also can't wait for your new products to arrive at my LSS!
ReplyDeleteI just love that shoe and can't wait to see what you do with it! I second the motion for a class using it in Illinois...please? Your "Love to Make Art" stamp is the perfect combination of graphics and sentiments! Marijane
ReplyDeleteAltered shoes? Can't wait to see that. Soon, please.... I'm not patient either!
ReplyDeleteLove the bikini card! What an ingenious idea using flower stamps for a bikini top! Wow! Clever!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with the shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteThe bikini card is fab, so clever.
OMGosh! I have arrived in the art world, thanks to Susan (and Dawn). Congrats, Elaine. I'm headed over to SS to try for some Wendy stamps. You know, Wendy, I've turned almost totally vintage (both in age and in art)... meaning I need that shoe workshop...and since the date is very special to me...I think that means "if the shoe fits.....make art!"
ReplyDeleteI am also interested to see what you will be doing with the shoe lasts.......we have a couple of boxes of those in our shed. Our son sold some on ebay a few years back, but we have quite a few left. I believe they're from Lowell, MA, and some are pretty old!
ReplyDeleteKathy
Awesome shoes...can you show us a peek of your fun finished project??? pleeeezzzz!!!
ReplyDeleteI have shoe lasts - not vintage ones, modern ones. If I could see your finished project, maybe...
ReplyDeleteyipee - that's me trying to be dignified cause I just found out you are sending me goodies Wendy and I'm in the office. Oh the heck with it, dignified is too overrated. YIPEE!!! YEAH!! I WON! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Aahh, now I feel better - LOL! Thank you so much Wendy, you are such a sweetie. I'll send you my home address info from work (too long to wait until I get home).
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived near St. Louis, I'm in New York near West Point, getting lots of snow today, would love to take a class. BUT, I do have an old (child size) shoe last I picked up a few years ago at a show. I bought it cause something about it just drew me to it. But I've yet to do anything with it, have not found anything to do it justice. It sits in my studio on the stamp cabinet.
And your bikini heading had me thinking that you were going to show us photos of you modeling a bikini. You know, one you made with fabric you stamped with your stamps? I'm still holding out hopes for that!
Thank you again Wendy!
Can't wait to see the shoe project. I think Memory Bound in Ankeny, IA would be a good place to have a shoe class....haha. Love the bikini card, great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat shoe project has sooo much potential to be Vecchified (new word-I swear)I really hope you will share your class sample. Looking forward to warmer days. Congrats to Elaine-lucky!
ReplyDeletecurrently buried under a cozy(not) 8" blanket of snow in upstate NY.

I SOOO wish I could attend one of the "shoe" classes - I'm intrigued... AND, I just received my very first order of STUDIO 490 STAMPS!! I got 4 sets from the new collection. If it's possible, I love them even MORE in person! I'm so excited to start experimenting!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, what a great item to alter! Good idea, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteWish I still lived in St. Louis (except for the wintry weather) so I could take the class w/ the shoe lasts at For Keeps Sake. I visit the store whenever I get back there to see family, great LSS!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Elaine....hugs xx
ReplyDeleteWendy...all those lasts...CANNOT wait to see what you make....now, I have a last...it is a three "shoed" one...and is cast iron and is a doorstop at the moment...but...I am eyeing it up now...and considering the possibilities..better check with Grim that it isn't an heirloom before I alter it .... hugs xx
Those shoes are intriguing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't I take a class from you? I'd love to see the look on my hubby's face when I come home with one decorated shoe:)))
That is a cool bathing suit.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh, those shoe lasts ... I'm sure you have something AWESOME planned for them! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteThe bikini's too cute!
