Cobbler Anyone?

I absolutely adore unconventional forms of art. Pushing the boundaries on normal expectations of what art is, should, and could be is just... fabulous!

I obviously have a lot of other interests outside of art. I play the piano, I love to read, I like re-doing furniture, I enjoy sewing, I tolerate gardening... I didn't quite inherit that green thumb. However, one thing that I love above a lot of other things (and I'm sure most women and a hefty handful of men would agree with me on) is... 

SHOES!

HOLY CRAP do I love shoes. I have an entire closet dedicated to JUST shoes. It's awesome. So, how does my love of shoes tie into my love of art? Well that's simple:

SHOE ART!

Shart? No, no, no... HA! But seriously, isn't the idea of artistic shoes just the most fantastically fabulous idea ever conceived? I do. A lot. And then I do some more. I've ca-ruised the web to find some amazing shoe ideas... some practical, wearable, and some totally ridiculous...

I'm absolutely BANANAS about these shoes.

THESE shoes, are basically just pure awesomeness.

by Alexander McQueen, I love the color on the middle shoe, and
I just think the armadillo shoes are silly looking! So not practical...

While the style of the shoe is rather ugly, what I enjoy is
the pattern, textures, and the color combinations.

HOLY CRAP. These shoes are HI-LARIOUS! I've seen variations on the
"Hoof" shoe before, but never with a pistol heel! BOOM Shaka laka!

You can actually HEAR the noise gum makes in this
particular kind of situation. 

This is brilliant. Coffee anyone? I'll take two. Size 10. Thanks.

HAHAHA...haha!

I seriously want. Please? Ok.

Go Go Grease Lightning!

I'm not a huge fan of spines and stuff, but you have
to admit... these are pretty... interesting.

Crazy creepy.

OLIVE-freakin OYL! WANT.

Serious Ballerinas need apply only.

These are modeled after Madonna... I say Barbie, but whatever.

These take me back to my Scandinavian roots... 

GROSS! Bird fan I am not.

I have a secret obsession with wooden shoes from Holland...
which isn't a secret obsession anymore.

Fellas, get yourself a pair of these shoes STAT. So hot.
Here is a link to their website HERE. Go buy...now!
P.S. These are two separate shoes, its not a pair of shoes
in two different colors...

D'aww! I too have a pair of red red rain boots!

I think a wee little piggy in wee little boots is a good place to stop. Good? Great.

Cheerio!


UPDATE: According to a suggestion from a bestie I should have included this photo to make this post even better....

My shoe closet... believe it or not, these aren't ALL of my shoes. I couldn't
 fit everything into one photo...and I have shoes scattered through other closets
in my house. Plus, I've added to my collection since this photo was
taken... is that bad?
