DIY Arcade Miss Fortune Boots

I know how hard it can be to put together custom pieces for Cosplays, 
so I wanted to put together a step by step "how to" 

Hope it helps! :) 

First I needed to hunt down the perfect pair of wedge boots. 
Turned out they were on sale :D 

Next I added 2 coats of purple fabric spray paint.

Next I added a light layer of pale navy blue, 
I didn't cover the whole boots with this, 
I kinda did it light and patchy to create a duo colour tone to the boots.

Then I taped & bagged off the entire top of the boots CAREFULLY, 

with plastic bags & painters tape. 

Next I removed the tape, 
& touched up (painted by hand) any parts that the tape removed. 

The bottom colour paint didn't turn out as bright as I wanted it to, 
so by hand I painted over that colour with a colour I custom mixed 
& applied about two layers.

Then sealed it off with Mod Podge high shine sealant spray. 

Next I added hand painted ribbon, 
painted with the same custom pink paint I mixed 
& glue gunned the ribbon onto the boots by the zippers 
(just not too close, stay away from inside the boot seam lines, 
or you can wreck your zipper, as I almost did) ;) 

They're looking good so far :D 

Then I had a decision. . . 
Which custom painted ribbons to glue on to the fronts? 

So I let Facebook & Instagram decide.

Social media votes came in & the thicker ribbons won. 
& here you have my finished Arcade Miss Fortune boots! 

I think my budget was about $85 for these. 
I would have spend a bit more, but I had some of the paints, 
sealant spray & ribbon already.

Happy Valentine's Day

 So I decided to get a little creative again. . .

 

First I was invited to come down to Rowena &

model for a photo shoot for their Valentine's promo photos.

 

Then I decided to get a little creative myself.

So I put together a fun & colourful shoot consisting of Hearts, lingerie & bright, bright colours. ;)

(I seriously almost gave the photographer a seizure with all the neon in the room)

Have fun scoring a Homerun on Valentine's day ;)

 

Love me, Hate me. It's up to you.

 As sweet as Candy <3 



Blow me . . . a kiss <3

 

I really wanted to do something creative for Valentine's Day,

after one of my fans gave me the idea of doing monthly themed photos shoots after my Creative Christmas postcards were such a success.

 

So I am now planning on doing a ton of monthly, holiday themed creative shoots in 2013.

 

& I'm hoping to create something fun for St. Patrick's Day next ;)
