my new shoooes...

After a weekend of ranting at the provider, I had to chuckle at Mr Murphy. I got my first online sale for my craftiness, in the middle of having no internet access for 4 days. Hehe- 'tis the law of the sod. Luckily a good friend lent me some access yesterday and all is well.


I made these shoes a while ago and am planning on making some more soon. The upper is recycled denim jeans, the insole part is 4 layers of recyled cardboard, and a rubber mat sole.
I'm on a quest to find a better material to use for a sole first though, as these use discarded car foot-well mats - unfortunately this has made them a little heavy...
any suggestions?
