Self-promotion

So Marvel is doing a collaboration with Vans sneakers, which is awesome...except there are zero female characters on any of the shoes. As the proud owner of Wonder Woman Converse All-Stars, I think this is bullshit. (Side note: They have BatgirlCatwoman, and Poison Ivy too! Wow, DC did something right. I have to pause for a minute to process that.)

Anyway, Marvel's marketing misogyny is my business opportunity. I make decoupage shoes from comic books. I also make boots:



And purses:






So, if you would like your favorite comic lady (or anyone/anything, really!) on an accessory of your choice, leave me a comment or ping me on Twitter.

Details:

I have a wonderful thrift shop near my house that keeps me in cute, cheap purses and wallets, so if you're interested in one of those, I can send you pictures of what I have on hand.

For shoes (and if you have a purse of your own you'd like to use), I ask that you send me a pair. You can either send me the comics/materials for the decoupage or tell me what you're looking for and let me track it down.

Prices:

Wallet: $30
Shoes/Purse: $50
Boots: $80

Important Note: Decoupage leaves shoes/purses pretty stiff and prone to cracking with repeated use, so none of these are great for everyday use. But they're excellent special occasion conversation pieces!
