bleeding love.

OMFG AN UPDATE!

Bleeding Love ($40)

A shoe i did at the start of this year ;D
The customer requested that the shoe be "Emo", which is honestly something i'm not uhh really good at. I was out of ideas for a really long time, but one night everything just worked itself out. Perhaps i was feeling upset.. XD;;? I really like the end product though, perhaps this i'm better with Emo than i though. (: The initial idea revolved around the song "Bleeding Love", but eventually, it more or less settled around "I'm not crying, I'm bleeding."

Design:

"I'm not crying, I'm bleeding"

I'm sorry i took so darn long to get these up! I finally stole a card reader today 8D Anyway i'm stilll reaaalllyy busy, so i think i'll just paint and post shoes up here for people to buy, hur. However, if you're really keen on owning a pair of customised sneakers and you don't mind waiting for a reaaaaaaaaally long time; drop me an email at lennelenne [at] gmail.com . (:

LENNE IS GETTING A MACBOOK SOON YEY! DDDDX

I'm lucky polytechnics require students to own a macbook. :P

I just finished two more pairs of shoes yey.
I will put up photos soon! DX

Well, due to the fact that school's starting soon, i'm afraid i can't receive orders as often as i do now, so i'm afraid i can only help those who don't mind waiting.

Thank you once again for all the support thus far! I feel overwhelmed. 8D

(no offense to whoever has this address though)

If you're enquiring through the tagboard (which is really not recommended cause i may miss your tag), please leave an email so that i can get back to you! :D

On another note, i'm halfway through a pair of shoes! I'm excited cause i finally managed to mix a human skin tone. 8D (Like, finally.)
And she has blue hair. Cute hee.
I'd post progress pics but unfortunately i can't upload progress photos cause i very intelligently lost my computer cables when i moved house. DX
I'll find a way to upload the completed one somehow. >D

Aaaannd, i'm sewing a dress now. Annnnd I may sell it off here! So do check back if you're interested, yeah? 8DD

Flashback!

To help people ~~find the photos easier~~ have a better idea of how the designs are like, this post is dedicated to all the shoes painted thus far!

Click on photos for full-view.

Bloody Regrets ($38)
Black shoes with red swirls. The words "bloody regrets" were requested by the customer and painted on the inner side of the shoes. The first pair i sold! Honestly, black canvas murders cause very few paints appear on the canvas.
A very popular design. Unfortunately, i am willing to paint similar designs for the same price, but i won't produce this shoe anymore.

Ginmink Gimmick ($22)
This design features guitars, rainbows, ~~female paul twohills~~ a girl, a whale, and butterflies! Retro funky colors for the win! I adore this design because its so colorful and happy ~~and gay~~! 8DDDD

Martini Kiss ($40)
I have no photos of this, unfortunately. The customer ordered this on Valentine's day for her boyfriend! How adorable. ;D

Cait and Cactuar ($20)
Final Fantasy crack. (: The shoes feature Cactuar and Cait Sith of the popular Final Fantasy franchise.

Monochrome/WoW ($35)
Featuring a Warcraft Orc and a robot on a hopscotch. This was completed within a two day time constraint! As a result, i didn't have the time to fill in colors. I personally like black/white shoes though. But i think its a personal preference. :DD

Le Opening, yay!

Lenne thinks that: her brain is dying.

So its 4.55am in the morning. And i decide to revive my shoe site.
Hmm.
Well anyway, my o's are over so i had time to work on this place!
Do you guys like the new layout? D: (ees kinda dark, huh.)
I know the balloons are not black but ~~cause it looks better in this shade~~ ignore it kk. :x
Well anyway i'm lazy to change it now. :D

I've uploaded collages of the shoes i've done at the sidebar~ Do take a look!

I be tired.

Please feel free to make enquiries! I won't eat you up i promise. ;A; ~~although i'm rilly hungry.~~

There are two upcoming shoes that should be up by next month (if i find a way to upload photographs.)

Thank you very much for supporting us! 8D

Y halo thar.

Hello there! Welcome to Black Balloons~ D:
Due to constant downtime on my domain, i have decided to move my business here. :D

We specialise in painting shoes for a price from S$20-30. Only in cases regarding hi-cut shoes or really branded shoes will we increase the price.
I hope to provide affordable service that will make the customer happy! :DD

However, due to the fact that this is my o'level year, the production time for shoes will be higher.

Thank you very much for taking your time to come here! 8D

xoxo, lenne.
