Sarah Rotering
made her first pair of shoes at age ten. Inspired by high
heels she was forbidden to own, she took matters into
her own hands. In her mother’s sewing kit, she found
two spools of thread. She used these as the heels, and
attached a sole made of cardboard. She covered the cardboard
with pink construction paper, and wove red yarn up over
the feet, ankles and calves in a dizzying feat of fastening
( fig.1). This of course was
much to her mothers dismay ( fig.2).
Then she jumped in a mud puddle and they were gone forever.
But Rotering Shoes was now a twinkle in her eye... |
