I was asked by a good friend to design and paint shoes for her wedding reception. She wanted shoes she could dance in and be comforatble but that would be special. What an honor!
She bought the shoes (Toms) she wanted and shared pictures of the flowers she planned for her wedding bouquet. We discussed her favorite colors and likes, etc. I sketched the flowers and design and she was happy with it.
Before I felt comfortable starting these very special shoes, I thought practicing on some other shoes would be a very good idea. I purchased quality fabric paints and ink markers, read about painting shoes and then designed and painted several pair of tennis shoes. Rave reviews!
the wedding shoes are finished and the bride to be is happy. I love this new art form and thank Kara for getting me started painting shoes!
