Custom Starry Night Shoes

Today I have a new pair of custom painted canvas shoes to share with you guys. You can see all of my custom shoes in my facebook album, here.

A friend asked for a pair of custom shoes with Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” painted on them- with the Doctor Who TARDIS on it.

I’ve never actually watched Doctor Who, but I do know what the TARDIS is, and this was a fun little scene to paint.

My etsy shop is closed for the Summer while I’m traveling, but please stop by my etsy store and save it for later!

Adventures in Watercolor Portraits

Good morning everyone! Today I’ve got something fairly new to share-

I’ve always loved coloring, colors, markers, crayons, paints, etc. Pretty much any type of coloring medium. I love drawing and I’ve done pencil portraits before but one thing I never really tried was painting portraits.

Recently I have been using watercolors (an inexpensive Mr. Huey set, if you’re wondering what brand) to paint pets!

I painted the dachshund just for fun (for my Aunt), and then I got the request to paint the 2 little french bull dogs, and then a sheep, and then even a family portrait! All from posting pictures of my art on facebook!

The portrait is of the amazing Caylee Grey, her Husband and her cute doggie. If you want some gorgeous art journaling and project life inspiration, hop over to her blog.

I’ve been having so much fun doing these. I was considering listing some in my etsy shop, would anyone be interested?

New Mixed Media Bookmarks

I’ve got this new set of mixed media bookmarks listed in my etsy shop, so if you love them you can get them here. These make the perfect gift for a bookworm.

I also made these for Paper Wings Productions July Challenge! The challenge this month is “Embossing” so I got out my embossing powders to play with.

There are actually 2 layers of embossing on these bookmarks. I started by embossing some of the Sacred Geometry stamps with clear embossing powder and then went over them with gelatos to add color which resisted the embossed designs.
I added a 2nd layer of embossing by embossing the Leaf Border stamp with green embossing powder on top. You can see both layers of embossing in the photo below.

If you get a chance to do a little embossing this month, link your project to the PWP July Challenge!

Also, don’t forget- I sell mixed media bookmarks in my etsy shop! As well as custom book bags and custom shoes!

Canvas Peacock Feather Shoes

These are my most recent canvas shoes and I had to share them because I think they’re pretty cute! They are actually a birthday present for my friend, she’s always pinning peacock colored things to her pinterest boards so I decided to design her a pair of custom shoes with peacock feathers on them!

For the background, they start blue on the back and and then fade to a purple/burgundy color on the toe in an ombre style. I actually like the feathers on the blue better, but I think the ombre is fun.

The Original Series Star Trek Shoes

I love Star Trek themed projects! I designed these shoes after the original Star Trek series with Kirk and Spock. It’s a classic.

I pretty much stuck with the colors of their uniforms- Red, Gold-ish/Yellow, and Blue. I also used grey for the background behind Kirk and Spock and I painted outer space behind the enterprise.

Books and Tea Canvas Shoes

I’m excited to share these shoes with you. I love anything tea themed and these shoes have both books and tea. What could be better?

My Aunt, Tamera, is an indie author and when she saw that I was having a sale she ordered a pair of shoes. She asked to be surprised so that only thing she requested that they were books and tea themed. The colors, designs, etc were all up to me.

These shoes are very custom:

Her favorite tea cup has a “peace sign, heart and pawprint” on it, so I included that
Since she’s an author I also added her books on the shoes- “Unwanted Things and Other Whatnots” and “Maddie’s Wings” as well as adding her favorite book titles.
Lipton is her favorite brand of tea, so of course I had to make the tea bag tags yellow and red.
On the backs of the shoes I added a couple of quotes about books and tea that I thought she would like.

If you’re interested in ordered yourself or a friend a pair of custom shoes, I’m having a sale until Dec. 5th! Scroll down for more details.

I can do almost any design you’d like (you can see above a few of the requests I’ve gotten.) Just go to my etsy store and use the coupon code CHRISTMASSHOES at checkout, expires on December 5th. I have 4 types of custom shoes:

Custom Star Trek Into Darkness Toms

I received a request for a pair of custom Star Trek Into Darkness themed Toms shoes and I must say I love these shoes! I loved Star Trek Into Darkness so I was excited to get a request for these.

I actually rewatched the new movie (for about the 3rd time, I think?) while I was designing these. I’ve got the crew of the Enterprise scattered around the shoes, as well as Khan on one side of the shoe.
On the front of the left shoe I decided to do the scene where it’s the Enterprise vs the Vengeance, So I painted outer space behind the 2 ships.

If you’re interested in my custom shoes, please check out my Etsy shop for more info! 🙂

Custom Sugar Skull Shoes

Our friend just had a birthday, and she’s obsessed with sugar skulls. She loves them, so we decided to design her some shoes with skulls on them. After a bit of sketching, I drew the skulls onto the shoes and Taylor helped me with the colors.

I’m not really into to the sugar skull theme, but I think these turned out pretty great. 😉

I added zentangle patterns onto the sides of the shoes to go with the fun look of the sugar skulls.

A Few Custom Canvas Shoes

These Cat Lady Canvas Shoes are available in my etsy shop! If you wear a size 6 and love kitties, go look at these shoes!!

My parents are going on a cruise this year for their 25th wedding anniversary, so I made these custom shoes for my Mom to wear. I put their cruise ship on the front of one shoe, and an island on the other. I lovehow they turned out.

I also did my first pair of sports themed shoes! I did a pair of Green Bay Packers shoes for a friend who is a bit obsessed with the packers. 😉 Her license plate is pink and says “PAKERZ” which is why I made the back of the shoes pink.

I can do custom sports shoes for you too! Order a pair of Custom Canvas Shoes in my etsy store, and let me know what designs you’d like!
