White TOMS...Pencil...Fabric Markers...

You could say I like my TOMS. And ever since my first pair I have thought, "I could paint on these"...so I finally got a plain white pair and last night and today I drew on them. I am still deciding whether to add a wash of colors to them. I like the black and grey but I also think that coloring would be so fun. So if I do color them I will post a picture. For now this is what I did.
 Oh, that scary first pencil line...
 And then making it permanent with fabric markers...
 Once the designing on the left shoe was done I just redid the same design onto the right shoe. I wasn't sure until I finished the left whether I would do them the same or completely different. 
 Only a few things are different but not much.


Obviously, they can't be exactly the same since they are free hand drawn but I am very pleased so far. 
Part of me wants to just splatter them with really thinned down colors of paint so they look like watercolor over the design and part of me wants to fill in the little spaces neatly...

  1. Holy cow, I never think of stuff like that! Of course, I'm drawing impaired, so they would turn out like large splotches until I colored them all black. LOL But very cool.
