Love these guys, you wish they lived in your woods:
The cat bus, I had no yellow/brown paint so I left him monotone:
I love the soot sprites on the toes:
Back to working on Travis' gift now:
Have a great weekend!

My Neighbor Totoro + Vans = the perfect gift for Maura!
So yesterday was Maura's 14th birthday. Though we already took her to King Richard's Faire and I made her this dress and gave her spending money for her birthday, that was a few months ago and I wanted to give her something inexpensive to open on her birthday.
I found these plain gray Vans on sale for 15.00! She's wanted some embellished sneakers for awhile and was upset that the Yo Gabba Gabba Vans didn't come in adult size. So I let her choose what she wanted on them and she of course picked My Neighbor Totoro!!
Materials used: Sharpie fine point marker and Tulip Soft fabric paint.

ReplyDeleteHi there-
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, besides the sharpie and paint, did you use anything else.. like if it rains will the paint/sharpie not bleed? how does that work??

They didn't run in the rain. They actually lasted pretty well. She wore them everyday until the following summer when they finally had to be retired from old age.
Deletemy sisters name is maura. its unique and not common, but i like it.
ReplyDeletehow can I get these. Mt sister is totally obsessed with Totoro and would LOVE these
ReplyDeleteGet a pair of plain canvas sneakers, a fine point black sharpie, some fabric paint and small brushes. Then copy the designs from the web, or enlist someone who can copy the designs in pencil for you, just go over the finished designs with the sharpie and fabric paint. It's a pretty cheap project to do actually! Good luck. Totoro rules.
ReplyDeletethanks so much I will attempt to try this lol i am horrible at art but will try to find someone to help me
DeleteI will also buy these! I want them so so so so bad! please email me cw081325@scots.edinboro.edu
