Persistence of Memory Shoes

Ah! These were so scary to tackle! Ha ha. I was really nervous when I got this order, because I really respect Dali's work. I even visited his home in Spain which has been converted into a museum. It was amazing! Now that the order is complete, I'm glad that I decided to go for it. It's nice to see that I didn't totally fail. ha ha. I hope you like them! I had fun painting them, and the customer was wayyy happy. :)

Day of the Dead Shoes

A good friend of mine was looking through our photo albums on Facebook and fell in love with a pair of Day of the Dead Skull shoes that my brother painted a while back. I usually don't duplicate designs we've done in the past, but since the design was new to me, I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did! They were intricate and difficult to paint. Ha ha. But, I felt satisfied with how they came out after the tedious hours of painting.





I thought the quotation she chose was a nice finishing touch for the shoes.



I've gotten some nice comments about them on the Facebook page. What do you think?

Vans-Gogh: Hand-Painted EVERYTHING!

I recently got an order for a backpack and I am soooo excited to be branching out into more than just shoes. I absolutely love the design that she chose too! Ha ha. It was cupcakes! Loooooooove. She was happy with how it came out, and I had some much fun painting the cute, colorful cupcakes. :)



Hopefully more people will want backpacks, purses, etc in the future! Would you be interested?
