Chopines, or, Overshoe Envy
I've been a little bit crazy about overshoes ever since I saw someone at Pentathlon wearing awesome wooden hinged pattens. So, I've decided I really need some chopines.
And after much searching, I finally found a website that has instructions for making them, here.
So, I'm going to make myself some. As soon as I find someone with a belt sander who will let me use it. Perhaps a pentathlon project for next time?
Ok, I am impressed that you would even attempt to make these..actually if you were near here, I would loan you my belt sander! They are rather interesting looking but I am quite sure that I would never be able to walk in them. I cannot wait to see your finished product! I love your blog!
