Hi all, Please someone explain to me how I put a linky thing in!!
Because I was so inspired by Jennie B's (not a new Spice girl, but Jennie Boxall from The Artistic Stamper) Blog the other day, where she showed work from one of the workshops she had taught at, I wanted to show you how I intepretated it. Someone had blown Mr T's inks onto a white canvas and then drawn a flower as well to finish it off and it was stunning. Just wish I knew how to show you!
Eggnore the silly egg, it should be on the end of the post, but I don't know how to move it!!!!! I know, I know, I am a computer twit!!
Anyway I decided to try out what I had admired on Jennie's blog onto a pair of shoes!
"OMG thought my husband, she has flipped, I knew it would happen and now it has"!
I bought a pair of navy blue canvas shoes for £6 at Asda, put two coats of Claudine H's white acrylic paint (blank canvas) on as a base.
And then I painted and splattered with lots of her other lovely paint colours!
Don't look too closely, I managed to paint a bit of white inside by my over enthusiastic painting! I was going to paint a flower, but decided it was too busy for that.
Sprayed it with scotchguard, and Bob's your Auntie! Maybe i should have left them blue! But anyway I now have a funky pair of shoes, which my husband says will be good for painting in!
Well it makes a change from painting the lounge walls, which is almost finished by the way! Carpet arriving tomorrow. Hurray!
Thank you Jennie for the idea. All I need is to shink my feet by half a size, (I had to buy a size 4 as they didn't have a 4 and a half and the 5 fell off my feet) so my right foot is rather squished up and not very comfy, hopefully they might stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groovy shoes!!!
ReplyDeletewow! and so glad I inspired you.Now to add a linky to my name, there is a little link gadget when you write blogger posts, and you highlight the word, and then click the link thingy and add the link which you have cut and paste from the page address of said blog or webpage.. hope this helps :))

Hey, love these shoes. Are they wearable or will you end up with paint over you if it rains?
ReplyDeleteNo I have worn them through a muddy flood and just washed them off 6 hours later and they are fine!
ReplyDeleteLoving your altered shoes. I do so hope you will be able to wear them comfortably soon. Annette x
