After I painted the Wedding Dress with Dahlias (
previous post - Wedding Week Part Two) I decided to paint a pair of matching shoes. What woman doesn't want a pair of beautiful shoes? My SIL, Elena, very kindly gave me a pair of shoes to decorate.

I used the Pentel Red
Gel Roller for Fabric again. The only problem I had was that after I sketched the flower on the first shoe I had to get the pattern off of it and reverse it for the other shoe. (Reminder to self: Don't free hand a design on an uneven surface if you need to repeat it.)
I added Black Satin Ribbon and a bow using my favorite glue for fabric - Beacon Adhesive's
Fabri-Tac. It grabs hold right away and stays on. Perfect for a pair of shoes that would probably see lots of dancing at the Wedding Reception!
