Description
I had this pair of shoes sitting around for the LONGEST TIME with just the sides done in shades of blue. I just couldn't decide what to do with the tops. Finally, a couple days ago at around 4 AM I was going absolutely insane with insomnia and just picked up a blue Sharpie and drew some swirls and straight lines.I still feel like they need something. Another color, probably gold. I had sewn a couple gold beads to one of the sides but they turned all brown.
The sides are here .

These are just the most awesome shoes! You did a beautiful job with the designs! I find 4AM insomnia to be my most productive time.

Thank you!
The wee hours of the morning seem to just lend themselves to getting things done, don't they? I swear I write better papers and do better work at 3AM. XD

That's cool. They remind me of Aztec or Mayan designs. ^_^

They do kind of look like that! I kept thinking of Celtic swirls the whole time, though. [link] And for the straight lines... circuitry?

I thought of circuitry when I first saw it as well! And oh, I see how you combined the two. That's wonderful. ^_^

Yeah, I have random pairs of shoes just waiting to be painted...
Gold would look really good with the blue! I think you should try it, fo sho! Great work.

Really? Alright, then I will! I just don't know if this gold paint pen is going to work really well on fabric...
Thank you!
