Ahoy Octopus!

I love it when someone orders a pair of octopus shoes! This is my fifth pair of octopus shoes so far, it's been really fun to think up different ways to do the same theme. For this particular pair, the customer wanted pirate octopi in her fav colours; pink and aqua/turquoise.

I'm so happy with how these turned out, and I'm still totally in love with the new style of high heels I have in stock.

Would you like a Doe-nut my Deere?

I've been painting these shoes for a while now, and they're finally finished and on their way to sunny LA! See if you can guess who they're for (there's a hint in the post title!). I don't think I'll ever get bored of painting donuts on shoes, they're just too darn delicious.

You can find work in progress shots of these shoes here and here. You can get your own pair of customised stilettos in my Etsy Shop or email me at ponychopsshop @ gmail.com

Adventure Time Stilettos

I finally finished my Adventure Time Stilettos (work in progress pics here). They're based on characters from the Candy Kingdom. I can't wait to wear these cuties out.

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.

Desk of the Day 08/07/2013 - Donuts & the Sea

Here are some more progress shots of the pink heels I've been working on as well as some other heels I'm currently painting. It's so fun to be getting to paint such dramatic heels!

Desk of the Day - 30/06/2013 - Pretty in Pink

I managed to get my hands on some pretty awesome stilettos a few weeks ago and have been dying to get painting them. I think they look pretty dramatic without the paint on. They started off baby blue, but after a few coats of paint are now striped in different shades of pink. I love how well the baby blue inside the shoe matches the baby pink paint so perfectly.

This particular set of shoes are going to have a really girly and fun theme, I won't tell you the exact theme just yet though!

Lola the British Bull Terrier Heels

When I was a kid, British Bull Terriers were one of my favorite breeds of dogs. I loved that they look like a proper hard mans dog, yet every one of them I've met has had the softest and most loving temperament.

Painting these shoes was so much fun! These were a Christmas order, a lovely customer purchased them for his girlfriend. He sent me pictures of her dog, Lola. In most of the pictures Lola had a huge smiley face with her tongue hanging out, so I had to include a few drawings with her tongue hanging out on the shoes!

I really hope my customers girlfriend loves them! And I hope Miss Lola approves of her portraits!

I have a load more of these style heels in a variety of sizes available. If you'd like me to customise some for you send me an email to ponychopsshop@gmail.com

Fabulous Flamingos

When Tottie from Pouting Penguin asked for some Flamingo heels I was so happy. I love Tottie's fashion sense and the beautiful shoes she features on her blog, so I was very flattered to be asked to paint some shoes for her! Tottie loves pink and turquoise which is one of my favorite colour combinations too!

I have loads more of these heels for sale, so if you'd like your own custom ones send me an email at ponychopsshop@gmail.com

Skully Bow Heels

A creepy Skully Heels custom order just in time for Halloween. The customer wanted skulls with bows in a green and purple colour scheme. I love those colours together! They really stand out.

Grape Heels

I don't tend to do realistic looking things anymore, although I do get a lot of requests for more strawberry shoes. This customer wanted some more realistic looking grapes on black heels. I kind of used artistic licence and added a few extra bold lines and highlights.

Although this was way out of my comfort zone and completely not my usual style, I really enjoyed doing them and felt so rewarded when I finished them and liked the outcome. I'm going to have to keep pushing out of my comfort zone and doing more orders like this! I DO NOT need to paint happy faces on everything I do!

Unfortunately the pictures I got of these weren't too good, it was the gloomiest day ever when I photographed these and my camera dosn't like gloomy.
