In His Shoes...

A pair of shoes can tell a thousand stories. I recently visited 'Walking In My Shoes', an exhibition of 50 pairs of historic shoes, and came out realising that if an object has the combination of a practical use and aesthetic appeal, it can hold infinite meaning.

With that in mind I decided at long last to make some shoes for my puppet Sylvanus, whose bare foam feet have been a disgrace for a couple of years now.
