day of the dead hand painted shoes

Fall is here and Winter is Coming!

Toothache Sweet Pink Pumps!

Hey Sweet Heart!

These custom one of a kind hand painted pink pumps are just for your cuteness!

Take a walk in these and give that girl who is staring a toothache from jealousy.

Size 7 1/2

The playful sort of pump with purple and pink polka dots. A fantastic touch of red and green with some juicy cherries to top it off! These are signed in the back with a fun little signature.

I have also sealed these beautiful pumps.

They are canvas so I wouldn't jump in any pools or anything :)

Upcycled Heels Sneek Peek

I decided to try out upcycling my own Heels! I have not done this type of material yet so I need to wear them and see how it lasts.
I like to try and really experience my own art before choosing to expand with something new.

here is a little look:)

My poor old comfee heels

I have no way of fixing this...but maybe just painting over it will look better.

Scuffs suck :(

AND NOW... A SMALL IDEA OF WHAT IS TO COME!

Hope you like them...I hope they work...
Yummy old becomes a new!

Favola Bella featured in a blog!

New Upcycled Converse Shoes

My poor family always ends up last when it comes to their shoes...I try but end up doing the other orders and shoes/art first. I finally decided after 2 years! (shaking my head in shame!) That I would get my beautiful Delphine Sims shoes done for her 21st birthday.

So here is what we got!

So Much New and So Much Good!

MOVING ON UP!

I am working super hard to keep up my art.

I have a wonderful friend who is a graphic designer and also has her own amazing blog!
http://aestheticcrit.com/

She is making me a really great set of logos for my sweet issues art and favola bella shoes by sweet issues! This is exciting for me because I want to make this work as a job for me.

check out some of the new things I have listed for my Etsy store too!

Please share it with friends and spread the word!

I think I will be doing another RAW show in Aug on the 16th! Maybe pomona too!
I am just going to keep on going!
Up up and Away!









Hoping for some new supplies and some new ideas!

I want to make more heels!

Upcycled before and after Mens

Upcycling your old shoes!

I hate when you finally have to make that choice...the one we all hate.

When you have to choose if your going to keep your shoes that have been with you for years and are so worn in they are just right for your feet...Or do you throw them out since they are getting so old it's sad to wear them.

Well, I decided to upcycle some shoes using my hand painting. They are still the same wonderful fit and I can choose to color it all or only add a new hint of designs to hide old stains or marks.

So here are some examples of the awesomeness!

9 year old converse I have loved to Death!

I even made a cool pair of earrings to go with them after:)

These two kids were for fun, I was trying it out to see what it would be like.

I am a mother my self and kids have to get new shoes soooo much it feels hard to just toss out the one pair they may have taken their first steps in. This way you can get the decorated and keep them for a keep sake!

I love the pirate ones!

I wore these for a while and realized they were looking kinda dirty...

so I threw on a few Owls and ...BAM! new shoes!

These are extra special too. Deeper meaning to the timing and the Owls!

Just a touch on the sides. left the backs and the inside blank. May or may not go back and do the rest.

A wonderful man who lives in Canada found me on google and asked me to help out his old but very loved pair of Timberlands! I was really excited! so far its just white but we are brainstorming some great ideas and I think these will turn out really well.

The best part is that I will have a pair of shoes in Canada!

I always wanted to go there...

Well at least part of me is going to be there :)

I will keep you up dated on the new look of these wonderful shoes!

Hope you enjoyed the look at some ways I can turn your old lovers into a new lover.

If your interested or would like to ask questions on how you can do this e-mail me at:

sweet.issues@hotmail.com

Also check out my portfolio of new painted shoes at the top of the blog.

I have a Etsy store too if you would like to order a pair of custom shoes just for you or your friend!

Been getting some nice hours when my Lily sleeps...

I have time to keep up with my portfolio and add more detail shots...

I need to try to get time for photoshoots of the shoes before I give them to the owners :)

Busy Hands

I have been going to RCC to take some art classes. 2 Painting classes has proven to be very hard to keep up with, plus a little girl being sick a lot.

I am very excited about the few shoes I have waiting in line.

• Bats and Bones for Jessica
• Ballerina Wishes for Jenessa
• Greek Goddess for Janice

And not proud to admit but I have a pair of shoes for my cuz that I have had for A LOOOONG TIME. poor family keeps getting put behind the line.

Before I start a pair of shoes:

I sketch some ideas
I look up some images on google
Sometimes I even take images and put them together with adobe illustrator or photoshop
I try not to think to hard about it

I tend to always just go with the flow.


Here are some new portfolio updates

New! Day of the Dead shoes!

These were a great request from someone in my art classes at RCC. They are for his mom's birthday! It is really nice to feel like something I do is cool enough to be a special gift such as that:)

Thanks Alex for your support!

I will be making a nice photo set up later with this and adding it to my other portfolio photos.
For now...this is what you get!

Enjoy
