DIY Painted leopard print shoes, hand painted canvas shoes

A friend asked if I could paint a pair of shoes in a leopard print, similar to

a popular name brand shoe. This favor involved 2 of my favorite things 

painting and animal print...I'm in!

I started with plain white canvas shoes...

I brushed on a watered down creamy tan for the base...

I added leopard spots in a rusty brown.

Then added a little black around the rust colored spots.

and that's it!

Table leg dragonflies in rustic, layered paint finishes

Here are a couple of recent dragonfly orders. See all my dragonflies

by clicking on the dragonfly/butterfly category.

Update as of April 2016, I'm no longer creating the dragonflies,

thank you for all your past orders. 

Please visit my new online store featuring my mosaic art 

in coastal and nature themes and coastal ornaments.

I started with a couple of table legs and ceiling fan blades

She requested one with scrolled wings and another with 

layered paint wings.

She asked for browns, tans and a touch of blue.

I used my block painting technique to get this layered

paint finish. I shipped them directly to her friend for a 

birthday gift.

Another order for a single dragonfly

with painted wings in browns, cream and rust...

Painted wing detail...taken with phone, not such a great pic!
