Once upon a time France’s Aneliz (Liz and frog) created polymer-covered leopard shoes as a gift for her sister.

Not content with her success, she created a second pair based on the work of Japanese artist, Utagawa Hiroshige.

Several soul sisters have plotted to disappear with the special slippers. But there’s no prince at the end of this story and it’s probably best to make your own. You’re picturing what you’d wear them with, aren’t you? The colors are perfect for spring.

Belcher fairytale

Let’s give interior design student Maria Belcher a festive send off  today as she heads to the Czech Republic for a semester abroad. Mother Judy is accompanying Maria and teaching polymer classes along the way. We wish Maria well and hope she’ll still check on PCD every day.

                            I love the idea and the execution is beautiful. I’m wondering if the shoes are intended to be worn? If so, does the method of applying the poly clay make it flexible enough to withstand walking? I’m only curious, since I don’t plan on trying this myself.

                                Of all the things to do and cover with our fun little polymer clay- I NEVER would have thought of this! So impressive!!!

                                      Happy travels Maria and Judy. Interior design is one of my passions. I hope you find lots of inspiration in the Czech Republic. I just returned from Prague, and would love to go back. Judy…you’re becoming quite the world traveler. Jealous much??? YES I am. Hugs…..

                                        La première était déjà une réusite, celle-ci est superbe ! Excellent choix pour le motif et les couleurs, et quel travail ! Voici une mise à l’honneur bien méritée et c’est toujours un plaisir de retrouver une polymériste française à la une sur ce site ;-). Bravo Aneliz. Sophie

                                          I’m dying to know what super strong adhesive she used to keep everything attached.
