OK. As promised, and just in time for this Friday's Art Party, packing tape shoes. I've been playing around--that is to say experimenting--and it's hard to stop once you get going. I'm wrapping all sorts of things in packing tape. These are a few of the shoes in progress. The two clear ones are going to get more "stiff" on them. The green one...I think that bow on the heel has to go
Some things I've been using in the shoes: copies of old photos, newspaper clippings, clip art, magazine clippings, wrapping paper, ephemera, paper lace, flat ribbon, pressed flowers...well you get the idea. And there's no end to what you can attach to the outside once they're all built.
For those of you who are coming Friday--bring a shoe or shoes. Bring your "Stuff" or you can rummage through mine. (But mine won't be as personal as yours.) I have scissors to share but if you want your very own, bring them. I will provide tape--I've found one I think works best.
See you!

Coming up in Room 206
This week brings the 3rd Friday in February, and as there are no birthdays, jury duties, blizzards (I guess) or other emergencies Room206 will be open!
Come any time after 6:30 pm. (A little later than usual.)
Expect the Olympics to be on, quietly, in the background.

About the Art Parties...
Art Parties are no longer held in my studio, but they were fun while they lasted! Thanks to everyone who came and played and shared and supported my efforts. in the Shoreline Historical Museum on the First Tuesday and Third Friday of each month. It's a drop-in art playtime for grown-ups! There's usually an organized project for the evening, but if you'd rather bring your own work and just enjoy the company, that's fine too. Come any time after 6 pm, stay as long as you like; we usually go on until at least midnight. Come in the back door (by the ramp) and up to the top floor, Room 206.
If you'd like more details, e-mail, or call 206-853-2513.

Why Room 206?
Well, my studio is located in what used to be the sixth grade classroom of what used to be the Ronald Elementary School. The Ronald School opened in 1906, and closed in the 70's, after which the building became the Shoreline Historical Museum. The museum has two rooms which it rents out, and I am very lucky to occupy one of them, Room 206. The teacher's name is still on the blackboard!

This is going to be a fun project. I wish I was more organized for it, but I'll be there....with bells on!
Ooooh, put 'em on your shoe! Bells on her toes. Now where IS that tin of jingle bells?
Those shoes look like they are so much fun!! I wish I lived near you so I could spend the evening with you and Mrs. Staggs making those! Have fun!
These are so cool, Liisa! How do you make them? Do you work over a shoe? Or just construct them blind as it were?
