Fairy Circle

It really has taken quite a long time to finish, sometimes I forget about pictures until I find them weeks later. I really like how this turned out. Fairy circles always makes me think of one of my favorite books, Summer of the Monkeys (the book is much much MUCH better than the movie!). I found a way to make a brush that looks like sparkles of Pinterest. I hope to post this on Etsy soon.

Pokemon.... GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!!




 Oh my goodness- the whole time I was working on these shoes I wanted them to be mine!! I was so excited to get an order for Pokemon shoes. And a big shout out to my husband who has brought in this one and quite a few shoe orders.... THANKS!

Well here are the other images....
Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle.


 On the inside I put other Pokemon who have yet to evolve.
 POKEMON!

Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastiose (They EVOLVED!)


 Again more Pokemon in the evolved form.

And the backs..





 I think I need to go get me some shoes and make my own pair of Pokemon shoes!!


None of these images are mine. All belong to Pokemon.


I'm-a-Mario! Custom shoes



Well my custom shoes have really gotten quite popular! Thank you to all that have made an order! It really is quite a confidence boost!
 I have these and I just finished a pair that have Pokemon on them (pictures coming soon). And after doing a couple I have decided to raise the price a little. So the shoes are $40 plus the price of the shoe (if I purchase the shoes). So just a ten dollar difference. Anyways, I was happy with the way they turned out. I originally started out using fabric pens, but I completely messed up Mario at the start so I ended up using acrylic paint. And by using acrylic paint it really saved my pens. All of the black for the background would have totally used up the one black pen I have left (I think its time for some new pens).

Here are all the sides of the Dungeon Mario Shoes.
 The front.
The outside of the right shoe. Hello Princess Peach!
 The outside of the left shoe. LUIGI!!

 And the back...



I must say it was different to work with acrylic paint. The canvas shoes really drank up the paint, it took a lot of layers to make it this colorful. I really prefer the fabric pens but I'm sure I'll use acrylic paint again in the future!

I don't own any of the images.
