Up Shoes.

I finished painting these yesterday. I love the film Up, it is so beautiful in so many ways. Should have won the Oscar – just saying…
Anywhoo, here they are.

Beauty and the Beast Shoes.

A while ago I had the crazy idea to paint myself a pair of customised shoes. Being a Disney fan, it was obvious that the images I used would be from a Disney film. I had seen people do this before, putting characters on shoes, but I wanted my first pair to be a little different. The stain glass window scenes in Beauty and the Beast always amazed me as a kid, so I decided to try put that on a pair of canvas shoes.

Scared I’d stuff them up, I bought a cheap $10 pair from Kmart and with a black sharpie and some of my old acrylic paints from my school days I set to work painting my shoes.

It took me 3 days in total, I’m quite proud that I didn’t stuff up! (not terribly anyway.) Here are the finished shoes. I had never expected them to be so popular! As of today they’ve had almost 1500 views on DevianART and they have been posted on Tumblr and the custom shoe blog Paint or Thread. I am quite overwhelmed!
