I haven't made anything Maxwell, but my Maxwell jersey is right here on my jersey wall in my room. If I had a nickel for every internet proposal I've received, I'd have about 45 cents. lol Yeah, that would a tight scarf. I might have to learn how to knit to make one of those. It'd go really well with this hat I saw on eBay a long while back.
My girlfriend had someone make me a Clutch cake for my birthday this year -- And uh... I made this sweet Chilcutt alternate (well, some lady at Toyota Center made it for me, but I paid for it!)
Amazing work, they look official, like if you have bought them in a shop. I definitely would buy something you did.
I used white Tulip Soft Fabric Paint found at craft stores that I use on all of my projects. It's a use paint brush kind, not that squeeze from the bottle puffy paint. I've tried painting on shoes before using other paints and found this one worked the best. I liked how well it turned out on the shoes that I actually used it to touch up some other shoes' soles I had that were starting to fade to yellow.
should have created a new design and followed the fabric patterns on the shoes you painted. looks a little sloppy (unless theyre unfinished). used to paint shoes a few years back, we used woodcraft markers, theyre chisel tip and they cover nice so you can get precision lines if you have a steady hand..
I understand what you are saying about creating a pattern that fit the shoe. I had considered doing that, but my intentions were to make it look as much like Larry Smith shoes for the human eye to see from 5 ft away, not something that kind of resembled them. Really, these are essentially costume shoes that I only would wear to Rockets games 5-10 times a year as part of an old school costume I'd have planned for that night. I had considered using my cell phone camera because the shoes look flawless there, but I used my 14mp camera that wasn't very forgiving. I've still got spots to fill and some touch up, but I've got a lot of time to do it before this season ever starts. Thanks for the tip about the woodcraft markers. Those may come in handy for a future project.
