My first customer has asked for some butterfly shoes of her own, so I’ve been busy painting. I decided on blue and purple butterflies with green iridescent beetles, and gave this pair a little more night atmosphere with occasional drifts of sparkling pigment and scattered gold dots. I’m really pleased with the effect, and hope they will be too!

Now, they need a day or two to dry completely before I heat set them to make them water fast.

Those of you who want to order painted shoes as a Christmas gift, I need you get your shoes to me within the next few weeks or I wont be able to get them done in time. There’s no promises after December 1st!
