CUSTOM COMIC BOOK SHOES GIVEAWAY!I’m about to move apartments and while clearing out my (huge excess of) stuff, I found a number of comics that I don’t want but frankly can’t bring myself to just throw away when I could do something creative with them. I’ve also been wanting to do something as a thank you to all of you fabulous people who are inexplicably following this blog, so I thought: how about a custom shoe giveaway?Everyone has a different comfort threshold for shoes and I don’t have a large selection of different sizes just lying around, so the catch in this giveaway is: you have to send me the pair of shoes you want customized. They can be whatever you want: old, new, simple, crazy, cheap, fancy—just remember that I’m gluing paper to these, so don’t send me your $200 heels unless you’re really okay with that! Depending on the style of the shoe, I may add other decorations (such as with the Fantastic Four wedge heels I made for Ammy, above). You provide the shoes and ship them to me, but I’ll cover the cost of shipping them back again, all decked out. I will ship internationally.Just a few caveats for the shoes:
- They have to have enough surface area for me to effectively cover with comics (no strappy sandals, unless we’re talking really broad straps and/or a hell of a lot of heel/platform for me to work with)
- They have to have a relatively firm form (for example: no sneakers or fabric Converse—they just bend and crinkle too much and the paper would tear despite the sealant)
- Boots cannot have a shaft higher than approximately ankle height. Platforms/heels can be as tall as you want.
- I reserve the artistic license to decide how much of the shoe gets covered in comics and what other decorations are made. I might cover the heel in comics, or if the heel is hot pink suede, I might leave it as is! Or I might cover it in glitter, or add a bow, or metal studs. It’ll be a surprise!
Here are the comics you get to choose from:
DC:

- You must be following this blog (pincushioned) at the close of the giveaway period.

Follower giveaway
So I’m thinking about doing another giveaway, but one that’s dress related (am I right in assuming most of you are here because of the Avengers dresses?). I still have loads of dress requests in my inbox that I haven’t had the time or energy to design.
How about if I do this giveaway where I pick 3 winners and they each get a dress designed specifically for them— they can specify what character to inspire the dress and also a dress type if they want.
Would this interest you guys Y/N (“likes” and answers to this post count as yes) ?
