Silly Shark Stilettos

When I got asked to do some shark themed shoes I knew it would be a challenge. I've never drawn or painted sharks before, and they're not exactly the friendliest, kawaiiest looking of creatures. After browsing lots of shark pictures and dooding away, I eventually realised sharks actually look pretty adorable if you just draw them a smile. These shark stilettos won't bite you, they'll merely nibble at your feet in a friendly sort of way.

These shoes are now on their way to one of my fav US bloggers, I cannot wait to see how she styles them!

Edited to add: I just realised it's Shark week! I hope these Sharky babies get to their new mom in time to celebrate it!

Stilettos & a Giveaway Winner

I've been absent from the blog a few days and things have been crazy busy as usual. It feels like this summer is whizzing by. I'm moving to London in a month and have still got to find a flat, so I've been spending any spare time I have trying to find somewhere.

I've also been finishing off some pairs of my new stiletto and have finally made a custom listing for them in my Etsy Shop. I'm really pleased with these shoes, they take the paint perfectly, and I love the baby blue inner. Here's a sneak peak at what I've been working on:

It's also time to announce the lucky winner of the Vegan Police giveaway! Congratulations to Imani J! I also want to say a big thank you to Heather from Vegan Police for doing this giveaway with me.

Etsy Shop Feature: Minne Bites

Looking for unique, adorable and beautifully made pencil cases/ipod covers/zipper pouches? Then take a look at Minne Bites - home to the one and only Shark Bite pencil case.

The first thing that popped out at me when I saw this shop was the shark pencil cases, they come in a variety of colours and in funky materials. When I was in school I would've been in pencil case heaven if I had one of these. Hell, i'd be in pencil case heaven if I had one now.

Minne Bites was founded by Mary Pow, a designer with a masters in Architecture. Mary has three children, which no doubt inspired her functional yet fun pencil cases and zipper pouches.
