Today at the Brisbane Brown Owls meet was a stitching type of day. I jumped at the chance to get started on a project I've had in mind for quite a while... to embroider a pair of boots.
For now, it's just a lone crane, but the plan is for a string of three on each leg.
And with the split-toe in these Japanese boots...
It's lucky that I have a collection of split-toe tabi socks to wear underneath.
Are these really boots??! They are cool! What do they use them for? I thought it was pretty cold and wet in Japan, but maybe I´m wrong. Is it an old type of boot, or a new "invention"? They rock, no matter. And the embroidery fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYou realise you are going to set a trend. Embroidered boots - brilliant. And I'm glad you mentioned that they were socks you were wearing in that last shot. I thought you had tattooed your feet!
ReplyDeleteOooh clever girl! My brown owls effort (a cat) looked a little dodgy :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the socks!! Great idea with the embroidery, lookin' good.
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to start a new fashipn trend?? I can't actually believe that you bought a pair of 'those' shoes to take home!! If only they new what they were for!!
ReplyDeleteLove the embroidery though : )
So cute Mel, that looks awesome!!! Makes me want to get out all my shoes and embroider them!
ReplyDeleteAre those boots comfy to wear? and do they have a proper sole on them to wear them out? Very groovey if you can!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you entertained those Brisbane folk endlessly with those tabi :)
ReplyDeleteOh My, cooler than cool!
