Will I Dance Again ( Gold leaf standing pointe shoe)

On the days the pain is too much to bear
I lay in bed wondering
will I dance again?
will I tie satin ribbons around my ankles,
will I feel the floor spinning beneath my toes?
will the ecstasy of movement satisfy my soul
just one more time...
let me dance just one more time

After wearing through my first pair of pointe shoes at the age of 13 I chose to display them in my room as a constant reminder of my hard work and love for dance. An old pair of shoes however is not very esthetically pleasing there for I have devised a way to turn them into art! The shoes for sale in my shop are my own personal shoes but if you are or know a dancer and have old shoes sitting around your house I can personalize them for you.

Having done pointe since the tender age of twelve I have accumulated a large collection of shoes. I have never thrown a pair out and they currently take up a large portion of my closet. So naturally I have decided to turn them into art! the shoe and ribbons are hand painted and attached to a copper wire (disguised by the ribbons) for easy hanging.
I am open to doing custom shoes so if you are interested send me a message!
