Acrylic paint on canvas shoes

This is the outer side of each shoe. Bag End on one, Smaug on the other :)

Inner side

Bilbo, and the Arkenstone

The right shoe

The left shoe

I started with a white pair of canvas shoes. After one thin coat of white paint, I sketched out the designs :) It's a very cheap pair, as I didn't want to risk ruin an expensive pair :P

While in progress

Plenty of details

I'm very pleased with the outcome, and though it's my first pair of painted shoes, it certainly won't be my last :)

The acrylic is hardwearing, so yes, I will be wearing them... with caution, of course, and mostly indoors ;)

I would so buy them too I even named my cat Smaug

You should make an etsy store and sell these. As a collector I would EASILY pay $200+ for these.
