So I have this collection of about 25 vintage single shoe forms that I bought from one of my roommates many years ago when she was getting ready to move abroad. They're really very cool to look at and imagine inside what kind of shoes they once sat, and who the person was that walked in those shoes.
Then I got a hold of these
Magic Marble inks - I'll be demonstrating with them in the
Smoothfoam booth at CHA this weekend. After practicing the technique of
dipping Smoothfoam balls into the inks, I decided to kick it up a notch and dip a shoe form!
I used red, black and yellow inks, then after it was dry, I painted a swirly streak along one side with metallic glass paints. I used a small brush to tap texture into the gold paint that I filled into a black outline. I added some quick tester gems that I will replace soon with nicer Swarovski crystals. I think it turned out pretty cool!
Today is the first Monday of the month, which means it's time for a Designer Crafts Connection blog hop. Just click on the DCC logo here in my sidebar to hop forward or back to the next blog. Then look for the logo on their sidebar to continue on.
