I’ve finished my second pair of painted shoes tonight! These ones have a few beads and sequins added for a little extra sparkle. I must get a thimble, I have holes in my finger tips from pushing the beading needle through the heavy shoe canvas.

I’m very pleased with the result, although I prefer painting on the white canvas, as the colours as brighter and easier to control.

And a close-up of the toes:

So there. I’m going to submit these for display in the ‘Celebration of Life Exhibition’, which showcases the lives of carers like myself. It will be open from the 4th to the 13th of October, with an official opening on the morning of the 7th. For more details, please see my What’s On page at the top of this blog. 🙂
