Prada Inspired Shoes and Sunglass remake Part Deux (I'm Fancy)

School is just around the corner, and I wanted to refashion these shoes before we came back....nothin' like waiting until the last minute huh? We start Monday. Sheesh!

I asked my students in May what I should do to these shoes.....I received some great ideas!

From river stones, to completely changing the shoes into furry cats, complete with whiskers and all to a galaxy scene with rhinestones.

Choices, choices.

I'll take a walk and think about it.

I did what any self-respecting art teacher would do.

I spray painted them black with some left over paint.

Ok. Now what?

I really liked the galaxy idea, and the rhinestone idea....but I've been inspired by Prada lately too. Those big gems and pops of bling!

Prada Prada Everywhere!

Big Gems.

Bling Bling!

Glue em' down!

Boom!

Back to school shoes! Revamped!

Thank you Jessica J. for the rhinestone idea. You will be getting a prize when I see you this fall. :)

Since I had those gems already out, and I was heartbroken about mu first pair of Prada inspired sunnies, I decided to make myself another pair.

If you have forgotten what that refashion was about, you can check it out HERE.

I scored these freebees at a table that was giving them out for an advertisement for their company.

SCORE!

They are not brightly colored, but they were FREE!

Free Sunglasses! Yay!

Glue some BIG bling! and done!

I'll be rockin' these on my way to school this year with my new, old shoes!

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others. But we love them all anyway. Heeeeey! Over here! Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up. I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt or use an existing one. Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt, and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck to all the 2015 graduates! I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Red Romper Red Romper

My beautiful daughter took this picture of this less than beautiful dress. I thrifted it for a few dollars a long while back. I picked apart the skirt andplaced a pants pattern in its place. Picked off the sleeves and cuffs. Whole lotta sleeves! Extra fabric to make a sash belt. I found the center of the cuffs and pinned it for reference. You will see what I do with them! Bias tape around the sleeves and attached the cuffs. Check out the sleeves! Its actually the cuffs! I love my new romper! See you next time!

Studio Trashed to Re-Fashed

I am so grateful to have this amazing space in my basement to create, sew, paint, nap ( Ha! Nap! Wishful thinking), whatever my heart desires, but it has become overwhelmed with STUFF! All stuff I need mind you...but I think it might be time for a studio-refashion! Look at this mess! More mess. I have a chandelier in my studio, thanks to my Sister- in-Law and Bro-in-Law updating their dining room. Recycle all the way baby! I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of art....there's worse things for sure! My In-Laws had their kitchen upgraded, and they had a few extra cabinets left over. They are super awesome, and let me have them for my studio! Wahoo! STORAGE!!!! The hubs and I hung them up over spring break. That was hilarious because neither of us really knew what to do. We did it though! And no fighting believe it or not! A little rearranging. A bit of organization, and Voila! Still messy, but a huge improvement! See you
