I just finished my first shoe customizing project
That was alot of fun whaddya think? Sorry for the poor photo quality, my camera's broke and my phone cam really sucks. There's more shading then what you see in these, but the general impression I guess is the same.
Of course there's cupcakes
The shoes were some old converse shoes in white and red which I repainted.
Haha Darri, thats a Woman's size 6 Try putting your feet in those!
Thanks kyleen! Im not sure painting acrylics on tshirts works very well, but Im already rummaging through the loft to see if I have anything else old and worn out that I can customize. Im thinking Messenger bag next I might also have some old denim jackets I can pimp... Can you believe those are in again now? whee!
Since I finished these at around 5 am I havent yet worn them outside. I think Ill have to wear a skirt today just to show them off in their full glory.
I gotta be honest, Im loving them more and more the more I look at them
Those shoes are pretty awsome. When you wear them out could you take some more pictures? You get a better feel of what they look like when they are in use.
I use a lick of wood varnish on the top. Im not sure how long it'll take for it to wear down as it is my first time I do something like this. Wood varnish is what the other shoe designers have recommended though, some whom do it commercially, so I guess it should be okay. The fabric still bends fine. I think it might crack if you put too thick layers of acrylics on, since it'd be way too stiff then.
