I've been taking plenty of time off the internet lately. Less blogging, less twittering, less IM-ing and all. Therapeutic-kinda and liberating, I must say.
I don't know if anyone out there misses me or even come here anymore to read a post or two. If there's anything that will encourage more regular updates, it is LOVE.
So show ol` Damn Dirty Angel some love, yea? :DAs promised, I'll write about the shoes I just painted during the long holidays but at the same time, I want everyone think of this as a
to-love-is-to-give post too.
:)
An old time blog reader, Hailey, emailed me about a month ago and asked me if I could paint a pair of shoes as a birthday gift for her boyfriend which falls in early October.
She told me how they live far apart and that she misses him all the time as they only get a chance to meet at least once a month.
Well now that his birthday is around the corner, she thought she would get him something very special. Something
one-of-kind.When she told me her story, it reminded me so much of my own and
how much it is almost as similar to mine.
That gave me plenty of
semangat to make Hailey's gift to her boyfriend as nice as possible.
The theme of the shoes here came from the title of a song her boyfriend sang and recorded during a jamming session with his band and song is called, "You Love Is a Peach Blossom".
Hailey's boyfriend is in a band called 'The Guilt' and I was asked to incorporate the band name on to the shoes.
As requested by Hailey, my fondness for applying striking bright colors was particularly reduced for these shoes. The boyfriend isn't big with bright colored things, well, I'm cool with that.
I resorted to paint the white shoes white which may sound like a retarded thing to do but allow me to explain. By panting layers of acrylics
(and applying some magic coating, of course ;) ) on the surface will make the shoes more durable and last longer under the weather. Also dirt can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth.
I know many people who don't like their shoes dirty so here I'm giving a solution for easy cleaning.
I make your life easy!
:D
With all the description and little ideas Hailey gave me, I added some peach blossoms with a golden tree trunk, music notes on the sides and gray waves of wind blowing as a final touch.
Now that shoes are done and ready to be delivered, I'm imagining how excited Hailey would be when she present her boyfriend his shoes on his birthday.
I'm truly honored to be able to help her out.
Frankly, I'm feeling slightly mellow-to-the-jello today
And I really do miss my own
particular someone too.
Sigh~
Catch y'all soon!
