Description WHERE DOES THIS GO AHH

So, um, I painted some shoes. :D;;

These, like my mochi cell phone charms , were made and sold at Animazement .

I'm not actually a fan of this pairing, tbh, but I know it's one of the most popular in the fandom so I thought I'd go with it and try to sell them. I figured that, with such a limited audience, I needed to make something that people would most likely like and want.

These are the only good pictures I have of them, as they've been sold now, but if you want to see more progress pictures you can go to my twitpic account , as all pictures I have of these shoes are there.

I bought a pair of canvas shoes, sketched light designs in pencil, painted everything in acrylic paint, and then glazed it with an acrylic glaze to seal the paint so they wont get ruined if you happen to wear them in the rain or something. xD [You still shouldn't go romping in the mud, but yeah. xD]

I'm going to be making a pair for a friend sometime [just waiting for the shoes and to be told what she wants] but if anyone on DA is interested in commissioning me, um, leave me a comment or note me or something? I doubt people would be interested, but I just thought I'd mention I'm up for it. xD [But they'll cost $25+ because these things take a LOT of time, effort, and materials. The acrylic glaze alone is $20 a bottle, so while I don't use a whole bottle per pair of shoes, it's still not a cheap process. @___@]

[also ignore the little Toothless in the one picture, that's a personal side project of mine that I STILL need to finish orz]

Aw, thank you. My friend actually ran into the girl who bought them wearing them, but I never got to say hi to her and thank her for buying them. xD;

Really, you are a talented person. I'd NEVER do something as detailed as these shoes o.o;

aklhdfaskf; t-thank you. I actually wish I'd had more time to work on them tbh, I feel like I didn't do enough haha xD;; With the next pair I wont have a time limit so I'm really looking forward to it~

If only haha~ I don't even have this pair now, they sold at the contention I went to. xD [Though a friend said she'd be commissioning me for some hetalia shoes, most likely FrUK, or Bleach shoes, so maybe I'll have something to work on soon... even though they took forever to paint they were super fun to do, so I'd like to do another pair~]

I've never been so I'm sure I'd love it. xD I'm so bored with where I am now [NC in the USA] that even a rainy town in England would be a nice change of scenery lol

Bleach too.....

e.e



It's good for tourists.

I throw sticks at them.



Everyone thinks it always rains. But it rains less than in places such as Oregon. It's just never sunny.

Kiri-Akurei In reply to jawwenthevampire [2010-06-07 01:35:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, idk, I never watched Bleach but she's a fan so yeah. xD

Pfft, fun. Should I be careful, then? xD [Even if my mum's whole side of the family is from England, I've still never been there, so...]

Yeah, I know it's not ALWAYS RAINING, but it does rain quite a lot. [At least, the family I have there is always saying it's raining and all, but yeah, other places get more rain. And really, I love the rain so I wouldn't mind a but more of it.]

I have the manga is a lot better.

Probably... ^^

It's like England's lyrics

It's raining today, yesterday it rained
I'm sure it will rain tomorrow

but I've never seen it rain without stopping for over a day.
