Ok, so the story goes I needed shoes. You see, I was wearing a pair of high heels, and they were not suitable for the task at hand, but alas, I did not have a pair of runners on me. Thankfully there was a chain store nearby, where I knew I could get runners for under $15. But there was a problem. Being someone who has normal sized feet, the 11 or so tiny feet sizes they make limit my range of runner selection. To add to this problem, I was faced with a sort of T model Ford situation, where I could have said runners in any colour I like, as long as they were white.

Now I have nothing against white shoes, but I’m no used car salesman, so they could get me out of the bind I was in, but that’s it. Then I hit on a brainwave.

A friend of mine has a young daughter, who is very much creative. So I thought, if she had no homework from school that night, can I give her the homework of colouring in my shoes? The job brief was simple, do anything at all to the shoes, and don’t worry if you make a mistake, because there is no mistakes you can make.

Well she got to do one shoe, and when her dad saw the fun she was having, it then became a family exercise. So without further ado, here is the finished shoes, which I shall wear with pride.
