This is the first time I have made something just for a competition... from what I am told, its not a really strict competition, so I thought it would be a good one to enter!!

The subject was "Boots - yesterday, today tomorrow"

This is was my second idea....my original idea was to make three Holden car boots, a vintage model, one from today and a concept car but I couldn't find three decent pics!! .......Anyway this is what I came up with instead..... I will hopefully post a better pic when the galleries are up again

OMG Trudi, those are absolutely AWESOME!!! What is it made from? They look so real, just waiting for someone to slip their feet into them.

WOW they are amazing. The laces look so real. What are they made of?

thanks guys......it's all sugar paste!

OMG, I am so impressed!! Those are absolutely the best! (I"m now bowing in admiration of you!!) Great job!

Looks like a winner to me..................

First of all, let me say, "Holy Moly!" That is fantastic work Now, let me ask if my dingy brain has this correct ? Is the fur/skin, the "yesterday"? Brilliant

how in God's name did you do that?
i thought it was a picture of real boots and you were asking us if we thought you should use that idea to make your cake. WOW!

It's totally amazing!!!! I can't believe how life-like it is!

Totally awesome work. I too thought they were real boots.

If you don't win - I'll come and punch the judges for you! These are absolutely AMAZING!

In total awe as I too thought it was the picture of what you wanted to do.
Outstanding... is the comp in QLD or NSW. I would love to check the competiton out for real. Your a sure winner!!!!!

Hands down you're the WINNER....I have never seen anything that looked so real, I too thought it was a pic of the boot you were going to use as your model....my gosh, you are remarkable!!!

WOW.. Absolutely incredible.

OMG, I am sitting here with my mouth open, trying to decide if they are real or not, What a fantastic talent and great job.

All I can say is OH MY GOSH!!!!! That is so amazing. It made me want to put the boots on. They are so real looking. How talented you are.

Wow. I agree with everyone else. I thought it was a picture of what you were planning on doing. I keep looking at it and cannot believe they aren't real boots!!! Amazing. You should definitely win! Good Luck!

Ok...I give up...How on EARTH do you accomplish something like that? As well as the horse in your gallery??? Ok...instructions please!!

I said to myself those would be great as a cake, not realizing they were sugarpaste!! Wow very realistic, I think you have a wonderful chance at winning with those boots!!!

Thanks everyone !!!

lynda-bob - you got it....the skin/fur is the yesterday!! I was going to make a closed shoebox with tissue paper and a shoe lace hanging out from the lid.... but I thought this was more fun and sort of bought the whole thin together..... and a lot easier!

OMG, those boots are going to help you walk right outta there with a WIN! Good job!

I was rather hoping you lived near Tulsa, Ok. So that I could see that at the upcoming Sugar Art Show in September . So now I will just have to see your picture here and dream of doing something like that some day. Great Job!!!!

wow, I had to call a few girls here at work to come look at the computer to see what a wonderful job you have done.

Absolutely amazing work. You're a winner for sure.

yippee....My boots won!!!

I won a gift voucher to be spent at the cake decorating stalls..... unfortunately the winners weren't announced until the Sunday and I was there on Saturday .... Thankfully my MIL was there and picked me up some equipment I had been drooling over on the Saturday
