Shoe Assemblage
Note the “caged” mouse on the inside of shoe. “Stones” by how they conform to curvature of shoe are probably made of clay and painted.
Two-tone shoe makes for more visual interest.
This “shoe” is made of wood, an antique form - a mold to bend the leather over it, for actually hand-crafting shoes. The brass plumbing and brass human figure is an interesting addition.
A painted-on shoe/sandle (see the strap). The brass base is probably from a candle stick and is imbedded into the stone or cement base.
Another wood shoe form using a box as a pedestal. The pattern and color is achieved by the decoupage technique.
The art of Decoupage is simply cutting out pictures, text, color from magazines or newspaper and pasting them on a surface.
