Great job, BaukjeSpirit.

I was watching one of those tattoo reality shows the other day and one of the challenges was to paint tennis shoe with various designs. Yours is better than most of the stuff they came up with. :cool

Wow. Those are incredible! I loved watching your video and seeing the progress. Also, it was nice to see you at the end of the video and hear you talk.

What a great project. I'm thinking it would be difficult to paint on the shoe canvas because of the varying shape of the shoes. You did it with style. :paint

I don't know what the design represents, but you did a wonderful job. :bigthup

That's pretty cool, but wouldn't the paint crack if you walked around too much?

Thanks everyone! It's my first time painting shoes, but I'm glad with how they came out.

Thank you! I did felt a little awkward at the end though, lol :hehe
The varying shapes was the hardest part, I often had to use my fine liner to improve the outlining of the painted area.

Eventually it will, I still have to buy some waterproof/protective spray to spray on the shoes so it will hold longer. But the paint isn't that dry at all, it feels like a sort of sticker. :)
