Hoofing It

Montreal designer Maskull Lasserre has made amazing shoes that leave animal footprints when they are used on the right kind of surface.  Think snowy sidewalks, and that kind of situation.  They were tested in New York and Canada.  Can you imagine walking down the city street and noticing deer hoot prints in front of you? That would be pretty amusing and amazing.  For more info, you can click here.

I'm just trying to decide which kind of prints I would want on the bottom of my shoes. Probably something that would look like Big Foot or bear tracks would be cool too...I don't know.  What would you want?

NY Fashion Week- Shoes!

This pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes spotted during NY's Fashion Week make me smile. It's kind of like trying to have the best of all the worlds...high heel, platform, comfort (looks like double padding in the ball of the foot area, and of course, "style".   The model is called "Luisa", I think.

So the questions of the day are...do you like them?  And would you wear them?

p.s.  These are the ones I really like. Manolo Blahnik's.  Yum!

Preview of Spring 2011 Shoes

Here are just a few of Dior's Spring 2011 shoe collection. You can find more on this website.

All I can say is that I'd love to design jewelry to go with them. They make me dream of all kinds of fun ideas.

Shoes- Patterns, Textures...Mix It Up!

Daily, I receive an email from Endless.com, advertising their shoes du jour. Now, how I can survive this punishment and avoid going broke while perusing all the enticing shoes is beyond me.

But practicing meditation and maturity, I try to look at the ads through an artistic eye, instead of the "I wish/want" point of view. Which brings me to the focus of today's blog.

Did you happen to see how many stripe/line/color patterns and textures are on this particular model by Marc Jacobs? Wow!

And of course, I look at it as how does it relate to beads? (Can't help myself)

So all the colors, patterns, textures... just how do they relate to glass? I'm not sure exactly. But what I did notice, was that I like the smooth and woven texture together- which could be interpreted through stamps or even acid etched glass with some part of the smooth glass reserved. And the four different stripe patterns-did you notice how that caramel color unifies them? Have you made anything in glass (or another medium) that would be an interpretation of the multi patterns and textures? If so, post a link in the comments section. We'd all love to take a peek.

And I'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place...http://www.StudioMarcy.blogspot.com
