A while back, TOMS shoes started catching on.
Granted, I don't own a pair but I see them EVERY.WHERE.
{Update: I finally own a pair, and I've custom painted there in this post HERE}
{UPDATE 2: I FINALLY HAVE AN ETSY SHOP! LINK ON THE SIDEBAR OR VISIT
SHOPWITTY HERE TO ORDER YOUR OWN PAIR!
I did have the pleasure of getting asked to paint on a pair by a dear friend, and of course, being the artist I am, I said YES immediately.
So now, here I was with a pair of TOMS, white nonetheless, and wow, a blank canvas staring at me in the face
What paints do I use?
Sharpies, Acrylics, Fabric Paint were all options
What should I paint on them?
Basically I had free range. She said, "whatever you want!"
So first, I drew a few sketches of some concepts and tried to look online for some sources...
Then I finally settled on acrylic paints since I already had a whole box of them...why not?
With a fine tip paintbrush, I set out to work.
Only I didn't know how hard it was to paint on canvas, in such small detail...
It was hard work.
It took me a while, but I finally managed to paint them both and make them completely unique!
My friend loves them and wears them often. She tells me everyone wants a pair too!
If you want some custom painted ones, just message me! I'm sure we can work something out.

Edited on Nov. 8th to add watermarks on my images since they have been blown up everywhere online with some having no link back to this blog.
