MX Award at TAF2010 (Tokyo Anime Fair 2010). "The Museum of Childhood Edinburgh has plentiful collections of dolls, toys, and other remnants of youth. On a visit there 2005, I found an old doll made from a shoe. It was not very remarkable compared with the other beautiful dolls on display, but it is still very eye-catching. The introduction reads: Doll made from an old shoe that belonged to a poor child from the London slums in 1905. I couldn't help imagining the little girl who could barely afford a pair of shoes taking comfort in this lovely shoe-doll friend who accompanies her sweetest dreams. The shoe-doll became a symbol to me of beloved and colourful childhood. I decided I wanted to tell a story of this little shoe-doll." www.qianshi.co.uk Any enquiry about this video please email contact: Qian Shi, weiweiredtea@gmail.com HD: vimeo.com/7615402 Follow Shoe on Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/Shoe/229929793812594
