Do you capture a memory in altered art? What do you do with all those tiny ballet shoes once they outgrow them?
Earlier I created Memory Art for Little with her first ballet shoes. I finally completed my projects by altering Little's Sister and Ali's first ballet shoes.
All you need are the ballet shoes, a fantastic glue and anything you have in your scrapbook or art studio. You can see Little's shoes at my blog post: What Do You Do With The Ballet Shoes?

Ali's Shoes
Little's Sister's Shoes and Story
I had picked up a couple of flamingo feathers several years ago and saved them. Recently, I was able to find two more. For those in the know...these are not flamingo feathers from any USA flamingos, that is illegal. Neither did I pluck any feathers. As the second set age they will get that more delicate look of the first set.
Do you have a performer: dancer, athlete, singer, actor, etc.? What have made into Memory Art?
VERY SPECIAL NOTE

Little's Shoes
Remove the inner sole of the shoe for a pattern to cut to your paper.
I love to fussy cut Graphic 45 paper.
The butterfly is from Blue Fern Studios. I added a little banner "Learn to fly."
Ali's Shoes
Prima flowers and bird's nests are so much fun on Ali's shoes. Instead of the elastic on the top of the shoes I added a pink ribbon.
The little flowers are from Recollection. Look close to the pink crochet lace underneath the white.
The long, looped part of the ribbon is separate from the bow. I hot glue the long strip to the heel. I created the bows and added them to the ribbon already attached.

I choose to leave the elastic band in her shoes. LS loves fairies so this is perfect from Graphic 45's Once Upon A Spring.
I added seed pearls in the flowers. It looks great with the pearl lace.
A perfect pair of memory shoes for a perfect little dancer.

ReplyDeleteThank Lynn. They were so much fun to make.
DeleteI love memory art and these are so special. My mother-in-law made pillows, aprons and throws out of Papa's shirt when he passed. She also made purses from my dad's ties when he passed. Beautiful projects Debby!!
