Shoes Addictions... The Dream of Becoming a Designer...

It's almost near end February... And... This coming Monday I'm heading back to school to pursue a professional Footwear Design and Product Development Diploma at Taf.tc, conducted by one of the renowned Italian Footwear Institution, Ars Sutoria... Yes it's a scholarship I had won in my shoes design competition last month which is like a dream come true...

To kick start for this wonderful journey, I decided to do a mixed media layout on my winning pieces which I designed for the competition using the sketch for this month Once Upon A Sketch challenge and Graphic 45 Bohemia Bazaar paper collection, which I had used greatly for my competition... The colours suits the summer theme so much and this is close to perfection...

As for The Technique Twist Challenge upcoming twisted challenge, I'm revealing this prematurely is incorporated here as well - faux frame...


I just love how the background turn out...

A faux frame "framing" my shoes...

Supplies:
  • Gesso
  • Art Anthology dimensional paints (velvet; limeaid, sorbet; satin sheen gold)
  • Tim Holtz alcohol inks (cloudy blue, aqua)
  • Tattered Angel glimmer mist (crumpet, burnt red)
  • Heidi Swapp color shine (coral)
  • Unity Stamp (vintage handwritten)
  • Staz On (jet black)
  • Vintage dictionary papers
  • Clear Scraps XL Deco Shapes
  • Transparency
Good luck and have fun!!!
