Old Woman who lived in a shoe |

Shoe DecoV for Nancy Q:
I used soft pastels in blue, purple and magenta, and covered the page, then wiped and smooth it, then sprayed with Crystal Clear. For the "Old Woman" page I cut out a shoe from brown faux leather paper, inked in some windows and a door, and topped it with a chimney. The upper window opens to reveal the supposedly historical origin of the nursery rhyme. I wrote the text with a black gel pen then over wrote with a silver gel pen. Added a bow for good measure... Words: There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, she had so many children she didn't know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread, and she whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed. Words in Window: Origin of the Rhyme in Regency
England?
For the Cinderella page, same background and
text as above. The word Cinderella was done with a C-3 nib and Dr Martins
iridescent silver. The Pumpkin carriage and mouse were done with
colored pencils and some gel pen accents. I put some glitter accents - the
3 starbursts and some sprinkling along the top of the page. The shoe was
cut out of a magazine and I added some silver threads for the tassels and
some holograph hearts to hide the holes.
Text: No! No! No! If the shoe fits, you must be...
