I'm running out of cute titles...

I don't know why... but the hardest part for creating posts is coming up with titles!
I may just start putting dates on them or something...

Anyway, here are the completed Norway and Iceland sneakers.

The "spines"

The inside sections of the sneakers only have snowflakes

My favorite part is the puffin. Isn't he cute?

Puffins Rock!

I hope you have a great weekend!!!!

Hetalia inspired Sneakers and Deadpool/Joker inspired sneakers

I promised I'd share the sneakers with you as they arrived (so as not to spoil it for anyone who might be waiting for their orders)
I know that these 2 pair arrived and that my customers were really happy. :)
One 5 star review (I think these are my favorite things!!) and one convo telling me how happy they are and that they intend to leave a good review as soon as they can. (I shipped them fast enough that Etsy won't let them review it yet. LOL)

This first pair is for a little boy. Deadpool and the Joker are his favorite characters. I normally do Deadpool in a cutesy, chibi type style so it made perfect sense to pair it with a similar style Joker.
This first pic has a bit of a glare on it and normally I'd delete it, but it looks like a heart so I kept it. :D
I'm such a nerd.

The next pair was Hetalia. I am not into Hetalia, my daughter is, and once I put it on her sneakers, it's become a big deal. I've had to do a lot of research lately! Anime is harder for me. I can do it.. but it's a little challenging, so knowing that they were happy with these was a relief.
This is Iceland and his puffin. (Puffins are awesome)

My favorite part was how the lettering turned out

The Netherland flags

I currently have 4 pair of sneakers on my kitchen table in various degrees of completion. They'll be done by Friday so there will be more pictures. :)

I have one more pair of completed ones that are en route but I haven't heard back yet, so I'm waiting to share those. They're Hunger Games.

I think all my tech issues from yesterday are behind me, so hopefully this posts properly. 

I hate tech issues, thanks for being patient!

Sneakerpalooza

Paint tastes terrible.. just an FYI in case you were unaware. I know this because I'm constantly getting paint everywhere. I'm a messy artist. 

I had said I've been working on a lot of these. Here are some more work in progress shots!

Some important things are necessary, music, tea, more paint... WAY more tea. 

Always lots of tea!

I make notes about colors on the bottles. In paint, then I forget it's wet and smudge it. 

These are almost done though

Hetalia, Iceland... with his puffin. I <3 the Puffin

Other pieces that are in play are Deadpool, a Chibi style Joker,  Hunger Games, more Hetalia, Little Einsteins and Bubble Guppies for the kids at Peach's and some Nightmare Before Christmas.

I noticed that my kids idea of putting the groceries away involved putting the chuck roast in the fridge instead of the freezer so that must mean they want me to make pot roast for dinner tonight (mmmm pot roast) so I should be able to spend a large part of my day on painting! YAY CROCKPOT!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend, it snowed here again... but the sun is out.
I have hope spring may come! :D

I tried posting this from my phone... I don't like the blogger app, but it did make transferring my pictures a little easier.  I usually try to just use my camera, so we'll see how that goes.

I do not like how this posted, so I won't be doing that again. My text is wonky, my pics all all... helter skelter.. Yeah. easier to use my laptop. Sorry about that!

Zentangle frost and #onedozenfandom custom sneakers

Laura over at I am the Diva  must be inside my head. Her challenge this week is to tangle using tools you don't normally use.
Like... Frost? Ice? Snow?
Got plenty of that!
My daughter and I actually did a lot of that this weekend on the various windows in the house because it's fun and a new medium.
This is really hard to see, it was super hard to photograph but try it! It's fun!! (Don't freeze while you are doing it!)

Fingertips and frost. :) You know you want to! Or maybe you don't. Maybe you'd rather go to the beach. On second thought, let's go to the beach! Someone come get me! LOL If you don't like in snowpocalypse country, I'd like to encourage you to buy some crystal effects markers and try it on your mirrors and windows. They're by crayola and they're cheap and fun! In fact I used some in my art journal a few weeks ago because I love the look of frost, even though I'm desperate for some sunshine!

I was very busy this weekend... indoors, finishing my daughter's sneakers.For those of you that don't follow my blog regularly I have been creating a pair of custom sneakers for my daughter based on her love of fandoms. If you want to see them in process I used the hashtag #onedozenfandoms on instagram and fb.
I'm really proud of them, the hardest part was getting everything to work together and to be the way she wanted it.I also thought this was a great opportunity to play with my new light box and practice taking pictures for my etsy shop (Whimsy by Kelly) I did not edit them at this point, other than to rotate or crop them, that'll be my next endeavor. So, lots of pictures for all of you!!!

Several people have already asked, I do take custom orders, in fact, I love to do it. You can convo me on Etsy through my shop or you can send me an email at whimsybykelly@gmail.com
Ok, I think I need a break, so tomorrow my post will be pretty light. I hope everyone is still staying warm and that you are getting lots done!
