What is Favola Bella?

Welcome to a world of wonderful creations!
This is where your shoes meet my imagination and become
One of a kind pieces of ART!
With your ideas and my paint brushes we can really make something new.
I love getting close to the people I work with on each shoe.
Some want a shoe that tells who they are and what they love.
Some have that overly loved old pair that are worn out and want to be brought back to life!
So they send me them and I paint some new life back into them and give them a face lift.
Upcycling shoes can be really fun and come out better than you could ever imagine.
Then I do baby shoes for baby shower gifts and keep sakes.
There are many ways to use this art form and make it your own.
Some give me full freedom on design and I just go for it.
I ask questions and get to know them a little to feel out what they would enjoy.
Others are very sure of what they want down to the colors and the design.
Either way this is an adventure that is just waiting for you to try it out!
Spread the word and check out the portfolio on this blog.

Step one: Kill the Jar!



Okay so this is a very different order I am doing.
It is super fun because I get to teach/paint with the person who wants to order done. The best part is she is really really funny!
Step one: Get white paint open!
I knew what was going to happen...because of the simple fact that every time I go to paint shoe I have to sit and try to open the stupid container! I fight with it every time. Pulling, twisting, slamming, throwing even!!!
It is the first step and really the most annoying of them all! So I handed this job over to my new helper!

I ended up telling her my secret of having to sit down and grab the jar with your feet while you twist as hard as you can on the lid.
She pulled and pulled and laughed and I am pretty sure she even snorted like a pig at one point. It was pretty amazing. Next time I will get a video of this event.
But then! ...It happened!
POP! she opened it and I saw the look of happiness that my 9 month old has every time she stands up on her own and falls down on her butt. I missed that photo too.

So step one of open the jar of paint was a tough but really funny thing. Now we are painting the shoes the base white. 5 pairs down and 5 to go!

Gotta love the faces she makes.

It's nice to work with the customer! 
 now I have got a picture of the way I want one of the pairs of shoes and another is drawn out.
I will add pictures tonight of them.

1st pair:
Break Dancers Vibe

2nd pair:
Gag Me With Sunshine!

Check back soon!
