My new challenge: Creating or doing something that never done before! 1. Painting shoes

Hey, dear Steemies!
I began a brand new challenge today! Well, it's quite exciting! I'm sure you also have unknown challenges in your life! I have a lot of these activities that I've never done before, but I really want to do. There are some that I still think I can't do and some that I'm very scared of, but I'm really curious about it. Today's task seems insignificant and simple, but I haven't considered it for a long time! I got a pair of leather shoes from a friend of mine who asked me to make something exciting and beautiful. I told her I would, but I had no idea where I would get the right paint, which was durable enough to decorate her shoes with. There were shoes in my room for a long time and reminded me of a job.. Then I discovered a shop in Budapest where I could buy paint and things accelerated. First I applied the paint with a brush on the black leather , which resulted in the semi-dried paint being removed from the brush and the result was catastrophic. I used almost a whole bottle of acetone to wash it off using cosmetic cotton wool that was always stuck to the leather. I was fool and angry!
But you know I never give up, tried another method, a sponge. That was perfect!
Next challenge: patterns! Symmetry? Forget it! I can't even make two identical earrings so I prefer to make completely different ones. In the past, when I was working as a glass grinder, I couldn't produce two identical glasses. My boss fired me because I spoiled a lot of crystal glasses and I have caused him material damage.
Well, the rumor was that I was a bastard and I screwed everything I touched with my hand. I believed it for a long time.. Now I don't mind being like that because what I create is unique! I used to kick dogmatic rules and sometimes I even wear socks that don't fit.

The results: Fairy shoes in turquoise and pink.

IThank you! I don't know what is Posca. I applied special acrylic leather paint and metallic paint. White coutour is made with fibre pen.

I love your new challenge and I especially love both pair of shoes. The paint work you did is lovely and I like the ribbon as laces. Very beautiful work ~
