Star Wars Shoes !

 Anyone that knows me knows there are a few things that I can just get obsessive about and two of them are DIY and Star Wars. After looking around online at random Star Wars stuff I decided I wanted some sneakers. The prices were generally out of my budget. So as I generally do I decided to take a whack at making my own Star Wars sneakers. 

My first attempt I decided on "Droid" Slip on shoes

.

C-3PO & R2-D2

For my next pair I decided on a pair of slip on sneakers and a more complicated design 

Left Shoe=Dark Side & Right Shoe=The Good Guys

The finished product 

A friend whos getting married next year suggested that we wear shoes inspired by my first set of Star Wars shoes. These were my test run shoes. Like a 3D sketch. 

Next I though about others ways to do a C-3PO shoe possibly for my friends wedding. These were the result of that idea.

Emotional Baggage

 This lovely creation was something I started WAAAYYYY back when I was still attending Towson. The idea behind it was as human we carry so much around with us but no one can see it because its not physical but emotional. SO, I created a skirt to show all the stuff we hold on to, most of which is garbage anyway, hints why I used giant trach bags.....

In class explaining the concept...

A classmate was lovely enough to model it for my while I explained...

Home, after I finished the skirt...

Made of trach bags, newspaper, various tapes, spray paint...

About A Year ago......

Its been a year since I grauated from Towson University. How time flies! The other day I realized I never posted my AWESOME grauation cap that I customized or as some say Leni-er-rized. lol 

I always knew i'd decorate my cap for grauation but not until the day before did I finally come up with an idea/design I was happy with. I went with a pin-up girl with this kind of trippy design that I tend to always come back to. This cap is one of the few things ive done, art wise, that I have no reqrets and no changes id want to make. Maybe in the future i'll decorate caps for other people as well. 

JUNKS HEELS In PROGRESS....

Currently i've been int he process of creating more "Junk Heels" its almost like an addiction now. The issue is time. It takes a while to collect items and think of new themes for shoes. 

The ones pictures above are the ones im working on. More photos and pist to come.....

JUNK Heels : The Beginning

These babies right here were a random idea that one day I just decided to attempt. I had this old pair of black pumps that were basically trash, i'd wore them as far as they could go and had no real use for them. Then one day as I saw them laying on my floor next to my "junk box" I got an idea, what if I just creat a piece of wearable art out of those shoes and this box of crap. After a little sorting and prep these JUNK heels were born. I finished them just in time to wear to an on camous MOD show at Towson University. They got rave reviews from everyone that saw them. 

They consist of candy, empty paint tubes, paint, beads, broken jewlery, buttons, beads, and other random things ive picked up through out 

Screen Print VI: My Poster

Photo by Chris "Nova" Smith 

The final screen print I did ended up deviating from the "portrait" series. I decided to make a poster tha could be used for my growing collection of dresses. I named this collection Salvation Couture. As I was printing the monotypes the image changed and colors mixed and by the end I couldnt choose a favorite so I kept them all. 

The First Monotype

Second Monotype

Third Monotype, changed the colors

Forth Monotype, at this point things go a lil messy
