Cocopunkz Sneak Peek #4
Written by Miranda on September 1, 2009It doesn’t get fresher than this! Just finished custom hand-painted shoes:
First off, a mix of Raincity and Obsession by Ada.
Then we’ve got a reversed version of Peonies, Nightfall by Miranda
And finally, Miranda’s (failed) watercolor effect test project:
Not only was I unable to achieve the watercolor effect I was hoping for, but these were also one of the most time consuming pairs I’ve worked on ever! The headpieces on the girls head were so intricate and detailed that I my face was literally 6 inches away from the surface of the shoe the whole time. It didn’t help that I saw a whole buncha cheap mass-produced printed-on canvas shoes at the shopping centre today (some were just awful, though the Reebok ones were kinda cool)…not a big bang for a whole lotta work. Never again will I work on something this intricate unless my reward is a three hour massage at the spa to alleviate the resulting back-pain. But I did enjoy wearing them today though!
