oh geez how difficult, erm, where abouts is it coming unstuck, is it possible to use less pieces of paper, maybe use a bigger piece so that it can be stuck in a different place ?

does that make sense.

ya see the sole of the shoe is seperate from the rest of it so i'm trying to join them but it's not working atall. oh i dunno.. i really just want to go to bed.

ok blossom got an idea dont know if it will work though.

right you know in a shoe theres like a inner sole thingy.

maybe if you use that to sandwich the two other pieces together, ok geez i know what i mean just cant explain it , damn wish i could sketch it out for ya.

ok lay the sole of the shoe on a flat suface

cut out another piece of paper to fit on top exact ok.

then get the rest of the shoe and place it ontop of the sole.

with only a little glue ok

take the inner sole and smother it in prittstick literally . and then carefully place it (Gently) inside

this could work hun

just do it carefully ok

hope it helps

Jj!!! you're a genius!!!!!

that's a really good idea!

the top half of the shoe has fallen apart though so i have to try get that back together first. it's really hard to make paper into the shape of the shoe...

I know it is really hard hun, is the top half salvageable / possible to save ?

if not maybe we could work on that together too ?

i'm going to try use sticky tape now and see if that works..

ok hun, remember to use the tape on the reverse/inside so that it cant be seen ok.

Jj it's starting to look like a shooooooooe!!!!!!!

ohhhhh

huuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnn

iiiiiiiiffffffffffffffffff

i ccccccccccoooulddddddddddddd

i woulddddd be ccccccccheeeeeeeerrrrrrrinnngggg

Why not take a break from it for a while even just 10 mins and chill, it may help you to focus better when you come back to it. Im still here hun i will try help if i can

or get some sleep, and do it in the morning it may be easier with less tired eyes

i think i'll just keep going. pray that it doesn't fall apart again.....

ok Blossom

just try be gentle coz paper has an annoying habbit of tearing.

im gonna stay on line with ya hun ok.

I hope you at least have a d.coke or cup of tea whilst ya do ya work.

you can do this

ha thanks Jj:)

no diet coke or tea:(

it keeps fallllling apaaaaaaaaaaaart:mad:!!!!!!!

the front part is the hardest because the paper won't stay the shape i'm trying to make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is driving me mad....i only have the front part left to do and then i'm done!!

Hmmm

ok is the problem that its not staying in shape long enough for the glue to take hold, or just to keep shape.

why not try what they do in shoe shops, you know they stuff the front inside with that tissue paper stuff to help it maintain the shape whilst being stored in boxes etc....

Maybe you could use some loo roll to pack out the inside front of the shoe like they do in the shops. Leave it in over night, or until class, then carefully take the loo roll out. it should keep its shape

is that any help ?

the reason it's not staying in shape is because both the glue and the sticky tape aren't working properly:(

i dunno..

that's a good idea though! thanks Jj!

you've been so helpful and nice to me tonight:)

i'm so tired... i think i'll just go to bed...hmmmm

ok, night blossom,

take good care of you for us,ok

sweet dreams hun

Jj

thanks Jj, i'll try.

sweet dreams.

today i feel like i'm being crushed:(

How much shorter are you?

Or thinner?

Or is there a really big St. Bernard on your chest?

In other words, why?

sorry you guys, dont know what Ive done, but im sure i will figure it out, just sorry blossom:(

Doy, like I said, you did lots of things RIGHT, Sue! :-)

How sweet was it, you helping her make a shoe, with lots of good ideas? I wanted to thank you for taking such good care of her.

Jj, you didn't do anything wrong. you really helped me last night. i just feel bad today that's all.
