Medieval designs for modern dames, dudes, darlings, and dear ones.
I love designing shoes, bags, and other textiles.
Want to commission unique, personal, wearable art?
Let’s talk!
Process
Decide on item. Higher quality base items lead to better results, but even inexpensive shoes, bags, etc, have their charms. I’ve done shoes, bags, and shirts, but pretty much anything fabric or paper will work. Pay a deposit.
We confer on a design. My style is neo-medieval, so my designs will be based in Medieval and Renaissance European art.
I make the item! For drawn items, I use Sharpie markers, Tulip Fabric Markers, and Artezia fabric markers. For block printed items, I use Speedball ink or various ink pads. Shoes are sprayed with a Kiwi-brand shoe protector, to protect against water. I generally don’t spray bags and shirts so that they can still be washed.
Complete payment, and item will be mailed!
