This was a shoe project and was eger to get started, I started looking at kitchen utensals.and shapes formed from them so I started to look at animal legs (the hock) and in relation to shoes. This did help but this project was all about manipulation and pushed forward with the shapes i had already and always thinking about 2D and 3D.

 Traditionaly Skin of animals was used for survival in exstreme conditions, for example south pole. this is in someways start of fashion tocome. I began to look into skins and texture for my shoe becuase i was lacking any colour. Materials are always being used in the industry and always been an important issue. obviusly im not going to kill any animals so i tryed to adampt the same feel and look by useing different texhniques, burning wood, tea bags and coffie and using ink and dies.

I was looking at this artist beacuse the way he looks into texture a rather lot in his work. I have show a link between his fashion outfits and shoes. the good range of colours all work with each other.

Looking back on my work i woulda loved to been able to have the time to create a whole outfit to go with my shoes and have been able to try and use a range of materials that all work together. one this i woukld try to improve on my shoes, is the hill. being able to try more ideas and design to get it hwo i wanted, maybe wood was not the right material to use? or maybe needed more time to craft it to the shape i wanted.
