Hello, Eleanor here.
I've been playing with my markers.
I like a comfy plimsoll, and wear mine with everything in the summer, skirts included, so when I spotted a plain white new pair for a song, I snapped them up, thinking I could do something with them.
What I had in mind was something bright, cheerful and summery, which will go with anything.
When I got them out at home, I took them into the garden to take the 'before' photograph, and that's when the idea came to me, as I snapped them among the daisies and buttercups...
From this:
To this, my own wearable wild flower border:
I used Sharpie markers in a range of colours and thicknesses, but I had to restrain myself or I would just have carried on until my simple garden was completely overgrown.
Now I just need to thread the laces back in, or I might use a length of pretty ribbon.
Happy summer.

Cute!

Beautiful, do you take commisions lol?
Will be looking out for my own pair of shoes, although I'm not sure I could recreate yours. It might have to be polka dots!
