Transformation Cont.


I had absolutely no idea then i thought, i love sneakers. Why not make one from shoes lace.At first this seemed like an ideal project. First issue though was shoelaces are not sturdy so how do i make this stay up, then my wonderful wife had a brilliant idea. Casting gauze. So i asked my sister for some because she had some left over form when she was pregnant earlier in the year and she made a cast the shape of her belly. so i took a shoe and molded it with it. it seemed to be working out great but as it dried it started looking blocky which was not my intention at ALL. AHHHHH.  So i continued with it to see how it start to look. So i completed of shoes and it look OK. Good. next step spray paint it. Ya didn't work the spray paint i had wouldn't stick to the laces. I decided not to buy different paint because i bought $25 dollars in shoes lace, ya $25 in laces at the dollar store and they have no returns just store credit. AHHHHHHHHHH
