One of our Sassy Feet fans just wrote a fascinating piece for Squidoo about transforming a pair of plain Jane beige sandals. She had some adventures along the way -- and invented what sounds like a very useful technique for stenciling on leather, which can be a challenge since leather doesn't grab the paint applied through a stencil, like fabric and paper do.
Also, Margaret's piece -- on Squidoo it's called a "lens" -- won the coveted Purple Star Award and was chosen yesterday from millions of other lenses as the "Lens of the Day."
Check it out (and do check the prices in our online store before buying from the amazon links in the article -- Destiny and I are much more fun to buy from, plus we'll answer all your shoe-painting questions). And congratulations, Margaret, it's a great "lens"!

Thanks so much, Margot and Destiny! I'm delighted that you like my lens documenting my sandal transformation using your leather painting and embellishment techniques, and I'm thrilled that you wanted to share it with the rest of your fans.
I'm already busy thinking up ideas for my next fab footwear makeover, using more of the techniques from your wonderful book, "Sassy Feet"! Thanks for the great information and inspiration.
Margaret
