Pigeon and Baloney (Henry P.) Purse



Here is the Pigeon Purse again! ...just a better picture





"Baloney (Henry P.)" is such a cute book by the Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. (Also the Time Warp Trio series!) I also made a purse out of their "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs." They are my absolute favorite, and I just can't help but make accessories out of them!

The Viking Heels


These shoes I made from the pages of the Time Warp Trio book "Viking It and Liking It." Then I made the book cover into a box. It's strange to see them reunited together again in this way...

The Ruby Slippers

This is a close up of "The Wizard of Oz" shoes I made. The bottoms have newsprint and illustrations from the book. Now I do realize that in the book her shoes were silver, but who can resist making a pair of ruby slippers? I've always wanted a pair, but instead my mom gave me gold ones to wear to church. Cool, but not as cool.

The Whole Set!


This is the rest of the projects I worked on which combines literature and art to make something you can use!

Let the Pigeon Be Your Purse



Yay for literature! This is a children's book I made into a purse. Functional art.
