What a burst of sunshine, eh? My 10 year old DD is in a choral performance group. They are performaning a routine from "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown". She is Woodstock. She needed yellow sneakers. Yeah right. So I bought her some $5 white canvas shoes and broke out my yellow Jacquard Textile Paint - and 30 fun minutes later, she's got the brightest shoes on the block! I just love them. So does she! We were thinking of all sorts of fun things to do with the sneakers - like beach scenes and polka dots. Maybe we'll even make a matching set! The nice thing about the textile paint is that it does not change the feel of the canvas, and it won't flake off. That's some yellow, isn't it?

Very Cool and if you want to go crazy you could over paint birds feet, or people feet on some.

When I was younger *sigh* I used to paint designs all OVER white canvas shoes. I always loved wearing them, especially with funky sox.
Will you be doing 100 pairs of shoes soon?.....*L*
LOVE these, that color is fabulous!!!
Lovely sneakers - great colour. It's amazing what you can do with fabric paint. Have you seen what Marjie did with a chair - http://marjiesdyestudio.blogspot.com/2008/02/painted-chair.html
I'd never have believed it if I'd not seen the before and after photos.
