An update on my Frankie stein boots! I wanted to show how much my hand painted shoes held up without any touchups. This is after like 5 (or 6ish?) months of daily use through rain, shine, mud puddles and dirt (btw the last pic is when I had just finished painting them!)
Honestly I’m really surprised how well they’ve held up, I tried using a ratio with way more textile medium than I usually use. It took a lot of layering to get the colors as bright as I wanted them, but they hold up way better than my normal ratio
I have learned a lot with this process, using white as a base wasn’t a good idea on black boots I should’ve just not used a base, the lightning charms fell off so next time I should use way heftier loops, and the metallic marker I used for the shine did not hold up as well so I’ll have to figure out a way to make metallic gold with textile medium
