Day 19 of "Blogging from A to Z" with my annual (going on eight years) challenge of drawing Fluevog Shoes and creating repeating patterns with them. Eventually, these designs wind up on Redbubble and Spoonflower.
Today's footwear is the Fluevog Sandra
The A to Z Challenge is held every April. The challenge is to blog through the alphabet every Monday through Saturday. The “A” theme is blogged on April 1st, “B” April 2nd, etc.
More about the challenge can be found on the official Blogging from A to Z Challenge Blog.
Here's the link to the Master List, with all the official participants (link)

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
I am fond of the red and pink combo. I haven't tried this style on, but they look like they'd be comfortable. You have a great day too!

John detours in his career as a shoe designer to momentarily become a well-known phone psychic.

I've actually applied this year for their Artist Grant, with my shoe embroideries (see https://repeatsamb.blogspot.com/2024/05/100-days-stitched-book-project-all-20.html ) as the representative art. Given the current US - Canada political relations, not sure if they'll award a grant to someone from the US (thanks, Trump. Sigh).
DeleteI met John and his wife when they went on his book tour back in 2019. I wore my black and white checker print dress and he signed a shoe from '92: https://anne-m-bray.tumblr.com/post/189603402565/i-met-john-fluevog-at-fluevogabbotkinney-had-a
The official Instagram account occasionally "Likes" my shoe sketch posts, so yes, they're aware of my Fluevog art! I'd love to visit the corporate HQ the next time I'm in Vancouver.
