What the French call Incompétent

Hey hey!! ahhh, Vacation at last!! (-it's that amazing that i took the extra effort to capitalize it and put it in italics) but yeah- so far its been homework, chilling, teeny bit of painting, and aimlessly wandering around on the internet at unhealthy hours of the night. A lot of scrolling through the sweater section on ebay- but seriously, hOW AMAZING IS THIS SWEATER I MEAN LOOK AT IT JUST words fail me i can't i just 

one day you'll be mine

anyways- I should slow down on the whole space/astronaut theme. Someday. Maybe.

                                        

 

OH RIGHT: I found old stuff on the computer from mooooooonths ago that I forgot to re- post

Okay- so: shoes I painted almost a year ago wow. Bought them white for about 10 bucks when I went to the states last year (VIVA WALMART REPREZENT Y'ALL) I'm not going to post a DIY or anything because there are litterally hundreds online, but let me share some insider tips in case you wanted to make your own galaxy kicks- stuff I wish I would've known before I made mine:

1) Use a makeup sponge- blending will be about a billion times easier/better looking than if you do it with a dish sponge or paintbrush- ooh and the dryer you keep it, the better

2) Mix a few different shades of the colours you're using (other than black, that is)- 3 minimum will do- keep a blob of your color untainted, add white to one, and add a smidgen of black to another. Apply darkest to lightest

3) Tape your soles well!! I got paint all over mine hm.

4) For the stars, I used a posca pen and a toothpick+white acrylic. Flicking paint off an old toothbrush would definitely give you more detailed/smaller stars (and now I'm wishing I did it, goshdarn it *shakes fist dramatically*)

  Oh right- it's all acrylic btw. plus plus plus: a simple spray varnish will do the trick for keeping it waterproof

Aiight, that's all I've got!! here
