Description
I love painted shoes, there are so many amazing things people have made. I've been so impressed over time, I have always had the inkling to do it myself.When I found a cheap pair of canvas shoes at WAL-MART, I bought them. I worked on them for a couple days, wearing them makes me giddy.
So... I used acrylic paint and some fancy black markers. I sprayed it with an acrylic sealer (I don't know whether this did anything or not) they are quite lovely.
On a side note, I made the cuff kandi on my ankle as well. XD

I looked for the tutorial I once used but it seems to be gone, this one may help give the general idea of how to do it [link] and if not simply serching for "kandi cuff tutorial" around the internet should help you find how to make one

Perhaps sometime, but right now I am a busy-tastic college student without the time to take on such a thing. But if I do start taking commissions on things I'll notify "the world XD" in my journal

They totally aren't special paints or anything, they were this cheap set of primary colors I got at jo-anns or some such. I only wear them on special occasions (or when I know I'm not going to be walking in rain/mud) because the cheapness of my supplies probably means they won't last long XD

I used acrylic paint and a black marker, then sprayed it with an acrylic sealer (though I'm not sure whether it actually did anything or not)

I see the moosey on the one....

It actually WAS initially a moose but when I was sketching them out I found making the antlers so tiny to be difficult so I made it into a capricorn. XD
Good spotting though XD
