I’m working on some of these today, and I’ve been rather inspired by the suggested quote.

So… HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I’m currently completing orders for Custom Toms that were placed prior to the hurricane, and I’m preparing for an art show for the month of December. Although I’m rather busy, I decided not to be a Scrooge for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and I’m offering this little discount for you all weekend. For 15% off, use this code: THANKSGIVING. Please note that Custom Toms orders placed during this time will not be guaranteed delivery by Christmas.

I recently painted these Custom Toms for a request, and now that the hurricane is making her way toward us, this is my motto.  And due to the conditions this storm may bring, I’m just closing down my shop for a few days…

Heads up: All Holiday Custom TOMS orders need to be placed by Wednesday, November 7. (I will not be accepting RUSH orders this year.) Any orders placed after this date that are gifts will not be guaranteed to arrive in time for Christmas. I also have many shoes in various sizes that will be available for purchase in select styles soon. Stay tune to my shop for updates.

I’ve given this quite a bit of thought now.  This is what I’ve been contemplating … The outstanding orders that I have currently accepted may possibly be some of the last custom Toms orders I’ll be completing for a while. Of course, there will always be exceptions, but I’m just struggling to keep up right now. The timing couldn’t be worse for all of you waiting to place an order as a gift for Christmas, but I have to make my family life more reasonable. The orders that I will be accepting will be for special occasions, such as weddings.  And I’ll continue to create select designs as long as I can keep up with the work load.  This may mean that I’m only able to accept 2-3 orders for Custom Toms per week. So if you have been waiting to place an order, do it now (before I change my mind).  Here are the designs that are currently available in my shop.

These are few things on my drafting table right now. I have numerous projects covering every inch, and these miniature paintings are just one of the projects I’ve been working on in between Custom Toms. More paint will be added, and you’ll probably see some dancing owls too.

LOVELY!  I long to be a part of a Style Your Sole event like this. 

TOMS shoes this summer has a pop up store in Covent Garden London, 28 artists from debut contemporary art school awards were invited to customize TOMS shoes, using many unique materials, including plasters to create these one of a kind art pieces. They were all put up for auction with all money raised going to Children & the arts foundation.

Check the video about the day here
