What do you think about my Shoes?

Well I mentioned previously that I was asked to do something with some shoes.   I wasn't told what kind of shoes just that a friend was bringing some to me along with a picture of something she had seen.

At first, I was thinking regular shoes that you walk in.  I have seen people do me amazing work decorating a pair of pumps or totally transforming Converse.  That was not at all what I have been asked to use. 

Low and behold I was given a bag of HORSESHOES!     And this is my first decorated shoe!

This particular horseshoe is very old.  It came out of barn in Maine.  I have some newer ones that are smaller and I have some ideas for those which are a bit different from this one. 

Just goes to show you that ANYTHING can be changed into something new with some wire and beads!
