Summary

It's what all women crave: a closetful of fabulous, sexy, and stylish shoes for every occasion. These designer creationswith easy-to-follow instructions for the amateur shoemakerwill 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.
