shoe project

So, I really like both pairs. The pictures, though, don't show them off properly. But still, here's an idea of what they look like! They aren't as wrinkly/shiny IRL as they look here >.>


These are the flats, done in Tiny Titans comics. One shoe is Tiny!Speedy and Tiny!Wonder Girl, and the other is Tiny!Batgirl and Tiny!Robin, because I'm predictable like that. They still need to be sanded down sprayed with the polyurethane stuff to help waterproof them.

And this is the Flash pair of heels. They were straped, but I cut off the straps and I like them much better now. What's more, they're comfortable so far!

This was a really amateur attempt and they're far from perfect, but definitely wearable (I swear they look more normal away from the camera). It'd be nice to get good enough to be able to maybe post on Etsy, though I learned a lot just from doing these two pairs. However, these are very much mine >.> I'd like to try a pair with Starbursts wrappers, but that means eating and saving enough Starbursts.

Also, might I say that I pair of Zatana Stilettos would be Ah-Mah-Zing.

Thanks! It's a really good weekend project (weekend, because you have to use 8 coats of mod podge, so drying take a looong time) if you have some patience and some back issues. And a Payless Shoes!

Have you ever thought of taking commissions for pairs? Or putting some up on Etsy or eBay or something? You could make money off those things, man.

There're NONE that I can find on Etsy right now, so I was actually thinking it could be a nice little niche, but I want to get a little better at it first. I thought about Etsy for projects like my mirror too.

Awesome! Yeah, you're good at it already, so you could probably start now and just charge more as you improve. The mirror's pretty sweet too XD

If I wore ladies' shoes, I'd be all over these. Shhh... I know what you're thinking!

I. WANT. SOME! If you do put some on Etsy, let me know and I will purchase them!
Also, I believe I have the flats which the first ones started as. I recognize the leopard-print insides.

Gorgeous! ♥ I really want to learn how to do this, it'd be cool to have awesome nerdy shoes that kick ass :D
If you ever post anything on Etsy, I'd be happy to buy a pair :D
