These Boots 'r Made for WALKIN' !!

Every once in a while I like to do custom work - special things for special customers. I have two very special customers, sisters, who absolutely love -- they go absolutely, totally gaga -- about anything and everything Disney. So, I wanted to do something extra special for them. They happened to see my Lady Liberty jacket (see my blog below) and loved it. One of the sisters came up with the idea of doing something that's a combination of Patriotic and Disney. And here's what I came up with!



The other sister's favorite characters are the Disney villains. She gave me this totally cool pair of black boots to paint on. So, I thought, who would be more perfect on black than Cruella De Vil. I added a chain and rhinestones -- they both love bling! -- and here's the result!



These were especially fun for me. Doing the characters was really a chance to paint something different, and using these awesome boots as my canvas -- I was in art heaven! If you're ever at all interested in something custom -- anything at all -- send me an email at lorigutie@aol.com!
