Clearly I'm more designer than dancer but I have always appreciated the beauty of ballet. I scored a pair of irregular pointe shoes while visiting the Capezio factory in Totowa, NJ when I was a student at FIT.

| Obviously I tried these on and almost broke my ankles and neck |
Since I cant dance, I figured I would do I what I do best and paint on them. (by paint, I mean sharpie)

| I used an extra fine point sharpie which bled a bit, giving my design a more painterly effect. |

Who knew that point shoes would make such a beautiful canvas? Me, obviously  Experimented with the back |
So I know not everyone has access to pointe shoes for painting on and I found this cute idea on tumblr:

| You can get a pair of ballet slippers on Amazon for abut $18 and add studs No dance or design background needed! Feel free to ask questions or leave comments!  ~Stay Crafty~ |
