Space Shoes!
I know, I know, I owe you a blog post. What can I say? I'm slack, I'm busy, I'm on holidays... :-) however, check out my latest art shoes! I was asked for our solar system: the sun and 8 planets. They're gorgeous :-) I tried to get relative sizes correct, but the gas and ice giants are so big the other planets would just be specks! I settled for looking up the NASA Hubble telescope shots of the planets, to get the colours as accurate as possible. Pretty damn pleased.

I would never have thought of painting our solar system on shoes but it is impressive. Kids will identify your intention immediately. Topstuff!
ReplyDeleteThankyou! I can take no credit for the topic, only the design, but you're right, these are supposed to appeal to kids. Their owner is a school teacher. :-)
ReplyDeleteAs said teacher owner... I'm happy to report that my class LOVE my shoes. I wore them at the start of our work on 'space' and they prompted a plethora of questions. We're half way through now so I'll wear them again tomorrow and I can't wait to see them recognise the planets we've already covered.
ReplyDeleteVery pleased to hear it!! :)
