Very cool idea. Now I'm going to be checking out the bottom of people's shoes. :-)
Fabulous stuff, Lill!! And no, you are hardly the only "freak" to do such a thing. Only problem with collecting shoes for their soles is they take up so much room! Maybe look for children's sizes from now on. :)

Wowzers- where do I start to make gorgeous backgrounds and creations like this? I love your garage sale find- you are too funny!!!
very very cool. i bought winter boots @ a garage sale for the same reason...the tracks left in the paint! :)
This post really made me smile I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who walks the walk for my art.
I am a total garage sale nut and I never thought to look at the bottom of shoes for the print they would make. I may have to go back to the garage sale down the street and look at the shoes again. LOL!!!
OMG what a cool idea. I must look at my shoes if I can use any. Very clever.
Lillian! Your backgrounds are genius! Love them. Mary ann
Fabulous art Lillian..and those shoes were a great buy!...I will have to dig out some of mine and use them for arting...I may as well as i can't wear them now I have had the op on my foot!
That is so cool! No you are not alone...Haven't bought shoes for the texture but I have bought other things just as unique.
What a clever idea! Lillian you are just too creative! I love your ideas.

LOL it was certainly worth buying those shoes!!!! What an amazing pattern they make! Just love all the ATC's you made!!
I have never bought shoes to use as print blocks, but I have gone around turning peoples feet over looking for good design. Then whipped them away to be pushed into moldable foam for posterity
My son used to choose his shoes by the print they would make in the sand - so I'm familiar with that consideration! Nice ATCs, Lillian.
Those shoes are cute - I hope that once you are done crafting with them, you will wear them!
I would not say freak I would say genius....that is awesome. I love the paper.
Your ATC's are wonderful. The shoes worked great, and they look comfortable also.
Love your ATCs they are brilliant. And now I'm off shopping to the shoe shop for craft supplies (what a great idea, lol). xx
Wonderful ATC's. how clever to use the soul of the shoes!
LOL!! I bought a pair of flip flops and cut them up to make them into stamps (circles) because of the image it would make so no... you are not a freak! I love all your ATCs too!
What amazing ATCs and you are so creative using those shoes - I love it!!
You've got a lotta *soul*, Lillian! winkwink Seriously, gorgeous art, girl! xoxo
Such a cool idea to use the tread to add texture (are they also your size so you can wear them?!!) Love your work - really beautiful.
Only you... but I have to say if I'd come across soles like that, the thought of the impression may well have crossed my mind as well... VERY COOL!! And I love all the ATC's, too!
Lillian, merci beaucoup for visiting my blog. A real delight to reciprocate! Luv your art and your art shoes:)!!! the bird pages you made with the 'ruler' fence is Fabulous. Will be sharing a link to your blog....
Love this idea Lillian, I have to admit, I was a bit worried when I saw, garage sale shoes LOL. Thanks for joining the PT chat about collecting.
this is just too cool!
