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...


"Henceforth... I become a shoe designer..." Journaling text here
over a small piece of transparency...

A faux frame "framing" my shoes...

  • 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!!!

Learn... Me... Explore Journey... Believe... Life is About Creating Yourself...

Abstract elemental art, clean aqua teal colours... One of the shabby-grungy look I've created as a design team member for The Technique Twist challenge, using a sketch and a mood board from Once Upon a Sketch and Scrap Around the World as an inspiration...

Mood board from Scrap Around the World..

Something inspirational... Something about life... About creation... About life journey... Exploration and believing... I love the sea... The breezes... And fresh air... I wanted a layout that depicts about my life, from all the life lessons I've learned - big and small... To get a shabby grunge look, I used quite a number of Ingvild Bolme's Junkyard Findings water pipes, frames, typo bulbs and various chalk inks and mediums for this mix media project; all inspired from the various elements and colours from the mood board... So here is the final look....



I actually used a mini altered terracotta pot here...

My hand-written journaling "Embrace the greatest
Lessons given, grow and make a difference..."

I'm using part of the elements from the Periodic table,
which are the basic elements in Life... 

Here is a list of supplies I've used for this project... Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day ahead...
