This year I was able to design my own Holiday cards. I didn’t have too much time to spend on it, but enough that I was able to send out something I was proud to send to my clients, fellow shoe colleagues, family and friends. Something that gave a personal touch. The final card design is in the previous post on December 24th. I did two shoe designs based on the holiday spirit. One that was most obvious with mistletoe on the vamp and the other with more of a holiday/special occasion feel with the sequins wrapped on platform and glittery pom poms at the end of the laces… Here is the original inspiration and sketches…
Mistletoe Inspiration
Marker rendered sketch
Glittery pom pom ornament
Self colored sequins on platform with glitter fabric straps mixed in with leather. Half t-strap with ankle tie and pom poms. And of course a heel high enough to make you feel sexy!
I am a designer based in Los Angeles. I design shoes. Yes, can you believe it? I am happy to say that I get to spend my days sketching shoes, shopping, looking at materials, magazines, etc. I design both women’s and kids’ shoes. I also have dabbled in designing accessories since my return from Spain...

Your holiday card looks awesome!
I also had a similar idea. This year I decided to make gifts to give at Christmas and as New Year gifts (gifts given to people I didn’t have time to completely finish). Decided to make note cards featuring several shoe designs I did over 10 years ago. People always ask and comment on my designs, so I thought it would be great for them to share with others. I still believe in writing little notes for various things.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
