Cinderella's Guide to Glass Shoes

[asakiyume]

The ninja girl sometimes makes tiny books, and recently she made one on glass footwear. She was inspired by experimenting with making waraji--Japanese straw sandals--which got her thinking about the viability of glass as a material for making shoes. (Here is a photo of some waraji.) She knew that shoes are sometimes made of inflexible materials--think wooden clogs--so she researched types of those and created CINDERELLA'S GUIDE TO GLASS SHOES



The shoes are rated three stars for possible--you might be able to wear such a shoe--two stars for risky, and one star for "clear and present danger"







(The peduka is like a flip-flop, but without the straps! Just the knob for your toes to grip)



And last but not least, just for fun, and completely unwearable, the glass sneaker:

Oh, this research is well done and worthy of a prize from someone not a fairy godmother or by some group somewhere! 8^D

That the shoes on the page of four are absolutely recognisable is laugh-inducing and wonderful!
