Marie Inspired Art with Shoe Picture Stand - Designed for Alpha Stamps

The pink and gold background is brocade fabric.

A few days before my stuff came from Alpha Stamps, I met my friend Sue Young for lunch.  As a present, she gave me a piece of her art and a picture stand with which to display it.  Both items were sitting on my work table when the box came from Alpha Stamps.  I unpacked the box and  began playing with the small set of chipboard shoes; making them walk etc.  The kind of silly stuff kids do.  All of the sudden synapses started firing in my brain.  I looked at the picture stand and looked at the shoes and I thought “these would be perfectly for the base of a picture stand”.  The package from Alpha Stamps also included some chipboard tags, which I thought would work great for the back of the stand.  I guess the moral of the story is, do silly things with your art supplies, you never know what might happen.
