Birthday Shoe Painting

On my birthday, which was in August, Wicked made sure to give me a job I'd enjoy.  I painted shoes for a person coming in for a while.  These were black boots and I tweaked the design a little to have the same feeling as the boots the ensemble member would normally wear.


I taped out the design and marbleized, using a rose, bronze and a few other colors.  I made the tongue a different purple with some rose highlights and the body a dark purple, so it wouldn't be a lot of coats of paint.  That would crack and flake.
