Re-Dos

Started with a plain black pair of man-made-non-leather pumps. Comfortable. Got them for free. Cheeky little bow came off easily with scissors.
Turquoise & rust National Geographic Aztec art modge-podged on...
...and taken off. I did a layer of Pinocchio black and white words, instead. Still not happy with it.

Client of 2 sketches of 2 days ago wrote this morning saying it was "my call" on making characters size that I think would work well. More re-dos.

I understand the need to change. Sometimes you think something will look really cool, and then you change your mind. Again. And again.

I am trying really hard to think positively about the process and not be irritated.

Re-dos are a good thing.

Really. Do I sound convinced?

I'll show you the shoes when I figure out what to finally do with them. Ha! And they might change again after that!

And this mean-mighty-mural is going to be incredible!

Oh just occurred to me - my church shoes developed a small hole - I wonder if I could fix them by mod podging them. Thanks for getting the brain working.

I would have never thought to modge podge shoes. What an intriguing idea.
