Customised Shoes

These are a pair of cheap shoes that I painted about two months ago for fun , plus I had no money to buy better ones. As they were really cheap (£2) they didnt last long, however, they lasted long enough for my friend to request a pair :)
Her feet have swollen up due to pregnancy so she wouldnt be needing them to last forever which is good as they are two sizes too big than her normal size. For my black pair I used acrylic paint with a tip-ex pen, for the white ones I used a permanent fine liner with the same paint. The tip-ex worked better as it was liquid which soaked into the fabric, while the fine liner only did the top layer. I may use some indian ink over the top to see if it improves.
