Whenever possible, we like to exercise our design-brains outside of our own jewelry designs.  

Doc Martens is having a fun little design contest (that happens to be some very clever marketing, btw) where you can design your own set of boots. You can design either the 8-hole or the 14-hole boot and they’ll be picking two winners. One will be decided by the popular vote, and the other will be decided by their panel.

I thought it’d be fun to do a quick design with the 14-hole boot and when I checked the status of my boot I’d already had one vote — a “Hate it!”. Haha. Well, it’s not for everyone, though neither are most of the pretty outlandish boot designs on the Doc Martens design site.

If you feel like giving my boot design the “Love”, go visit the Flowerish boot design page and vote.

You can also go there and design your own boot — if you plan on using their templates, a word of warning, they have Photoshop and Illustrator templates, but only in the latest, CS3 version :P.
