Shoe Painting; Floral Vines

 Hi everyone!
I've bought new toys recently! Something I wanted for a really long time now.
FABRIC PAINT

and with that, comes a new project :

 

 My newly hand-painted shoes!

I am so excited to wear them for the first time after being painted!

Here's how the project started...

 My new but not-so-new shoes. I wore them several times when I went to China. Didn't have other shoes to 'waste' then. I didn't bother washing them before applying extra paint on, I was too lazy to do so.

 Fully white plain shoes.

 with the help of some of my new babies (there were more colours like green, etc.), I manage to paint my shoes to my likings. I mixed these 2 colours above to get the result of an orange-pink shade which I absolutely love. I was afraid that I couldn't mix the same colour, but apparantly, everything went pretty well.

 So, I started painting the border lines.

 See those pale beige flower petals? I actually painted them on wrongly. I wanted to leave the sides white, but I was too excited with the new toys and messed it up. It was actually the darker orange-pink shade, but I painted 2 coats of beige & white over them and it looked much better.

 One of the shoes painted in the darker shade.

 and now BOTH !

I was really happy with the progress! Yay!

 *just showing of my toys*

 A pink shade (red + white) was mixed and painted on to match the orange-pink shade painted previously.

I think it looks pretty good. Now, I just got to add the vines and the leaves!

 What is paint without different shades?

 The lefty and the righty of the shoes. I didn't make them 100% alike. If I did so, I'd probably die from trying. Haha! Besides, art should be free flowed. *claps hand*

I mixed blue and yellow to get green. Occasionally adding white or black for the lighter or darker shade. My set of fabric paint has a bottle of green, but it was more of a dirty green colour I didn't really like. So I mixed my own shade instead.

and TADAA! This is how the shoes turned out! Woooo!! So happy to have them!

I'm thinking of painting and selling shoes (for I love them so), but shoe sizes are such a huge headache. 

Should I, or should I not sell painted shoes?
