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

I made a zine with collage at a local zine class! They explored making them and also the history of zine making. I’ve already been making more😅

I wanted to show off some clothes I just finished painting because im v proud!:))

The jacket used to be a flannel that I didnt like the way it fit, and a denim vest that was way too small for me, both from thrifting. So I sewed em together, drew and painted on it, then added chains and charms!

As for the boots, I saw a shoe brand I like make MH shoes but they didnt make Frankie style combat boots,,, so I made my own with some boots I got on clearance for 9$

I’m going to a concert tomorrow, so I wanted to look cool and what better way than to wear your own art:D

btw for anyone wondering, I use fabric medium mixed with acrylic paint. And yes it 100% will chip and fade overtime, but I love painting so I don’t mind redoing it / making another one, I’ve been painting clothes like this for years lol

Working on my Halloween costume!⚡️🖤⚡️

This is the first attempt, I definitely want to change a few things about it but it’s a good first try. Honestly I mainly want an excuse to break out my jacket again on Halloween😅 and what’s more DIY punk than Frankenstein’s monster? Next time tho I should really keep in mind where my bangs are, you can’t really even see the blue section lmao

I hope you’re all having a good day and enjoying the spooky season so far~

Oh hell yea!💜💚 I’m so fucking proud of these and so excited skate again!!:D

Been trying to find myself some skates for literal YEARS but it can be extremely difficult when you wear a women’s size 11 and don’t have 150$ to drop on a hobby ( and that’s on the lower end of buying good quality adult sized skates:// ). THANK GOD I found some at a thrift store in my size, for only 10!

I’ve always planned on painting my next pair of skates, so when I found these I immediately started planning ( swipe to the end to see the thumbnail I made of the design I wanted! ). Originally they were grey and red smooth plastic which paint will not stick to, so to start I sanded everything down ( which is why the texture is a little jank, but they look cool af and they’re going to get scratched up anyway so it’s fine ). Then I did two base coats of black to get rid of the old colors entirely and after used acrylic paints and glitter medium on the sparkly part!

I still need to use sealant to secure the paint a bit more before I can use them, but I wanted to take some pics before I got em all scratched up lol

Still a WIP but I’m almost done! I thrifted some old playing cards and wanted to turn them in a journal:D I did finish embroidering all the edges on the cover and back, but don’t have pics of that yet. Will post more later!

But I’m going to be running a western / cowboy themed D&D campaign, and this is gonna be my note taking journal for it!:) Also this song feels very fitting since the first town they will be in is HEAVILY inspired by Spacers Choice!
