And when I start too
walking, these boots will be like NeeeeeW!
First a pair of my boots...
And a some inspiration.
I'll let ya all in on a little
secret........
I have a western boot fetish...
I have, Black, Brown, Red, Aqua, Dark Purple,
Just to name a few!
Some people collect trinkets, I
collect Western Boots.
No worries, I only buy boots when they are on sale!!!!
shshshshshshs!
This Pair is a "little" worn out!
So I figured it is time for a make over.
Supplies:
Paint, Brushes, textile medium, a pair of boots and
the rest is an open door for creativity.
First a base coat... With Folk Art Paint and a Textile medium..
How about some Southwest style....
A Lizard, I made a pattern and traced it on
the boot
with a Watercolor Pencil.
It is easy to erase the outlines from
a watercolor pencil.
I use them when I do Mural on Walls.
Draw a Cactus, I cut out, traced around edge with
a watercolor pencil.
It took about three coats of paint to cover the base coat
of pink.
The textile medium thins out the paint.
Make sure the paint and textile medim is well mixed.
3 Coats done, now time to dry and when it is dry,
it is time to add
some detail...
A little Cactus Detail...
Some bright colors for the lizard detail...
Wah LA! a "like" New pair of boots.
I will need to do some rearch and figure out
what I can use
for a top coat and a protectant
Any suggestion are welcome!
I think I will wear them to the annual
Pony Express Dance!!!
I might even need a new outfit...
I Love your comments, let me know
what YOU think?
BE BLESSED WHERE EVER YOU ARE!!!
