----------------------------------
1) Tell Your Shoe Tale:
Do you have a memorable pair of Shoes?
On a postcard (either buy one or make one), tell their story.
The rest is up to you. Just be clear - don’t write too small - and be creative. Follow your instincts and your feet. Use words -from a simple sentence to poetry and prose; use visuals - from a doodle to a detailed drawing, or collage, photographs, textures. Use your memory and your imagination: all stories - weird, ordinary, large or small- are welcomed.
Then either scan / email your completed Shoe Tale postcard (as an attachment) to post(at)shoetales.co.uk
Or put a stamp on it and send to:
