It's what all women crave: a closetful of fabulous, sexy, and stylish shoes for every occasion. These designer creations--with easy-to-follow instructions for the amateur shoemaker--will turn their fashion dreams into a stunning reality. Painted shoes, decoupaged shoes, beaded and buttoned shoes: women will definitely "ooh" and "aah" in pleasure over this footwear! Designers from across the country competed in a contest to devise the most marvelous pair of shoes, and they've come up with more than 50 breathtaking and irresistible projects. Just imagine strappy exotic Asian Pumps with a high heel and delicate floral design, beaded rope mules dotted with small pearls, and sparkling jeweled ballet slippers. And you'll really want to raise a glass and toast the wonderfully whimsical Martini Party Shoes. Some are surprisingly simple and others are quite over-the-top, but they're all dazzling and wearable. Choose from shoes meant for weddings, fancy pairs for a night out, and casual ones for everyday or the beach. There are even boots and a few patterns for baby footware. And the book just wouldn't be complete without a gallery of exceptional shoes, meant to stand as works of art.Packham, Jo is the author of 'Closet Full of Shoes Simple Ways to Make Them Chic' with ISBN 9781402724268 and ISBN 1402724268.
