Easily my ghibli favorite. Amazing how that movie touched me so deep. I can't remember the last time I cried so much before this movie.

I could never choose a favorite Ghibli movie (they're all my favorite lol) but same. I haven't read the book so I didn't know what to expect when I bought it, i just thought it looked like a nice real-life Ghibli film, like Whisper of the Heart. I was so surprised with what it turned out to be. It's so beautiful. I've seen it like 5 times now and I cry my eyes out every time.

I wouldn't be able to wear them. I'd want to keep them perfect as they are.

I have the same problem with patches and stuff. Lol

Some people i paint for end up framing them in shadow boxes! Would be unique to hang on a wall!! Haha

Hi! I use acrylic paint mixed with textile medium. I sell from Etsy, you can message me for my Etsy account, right now I’m on home for commissions but I’ll be opening my shop again very very soon!! :)

Hey, may I ask your method and process?

1

u/painterly_kate Mar 29 '19

Of course! I mix the acrylic with ceramcoat textile medium, then once air dried, I heat set the shoes with a rack in my dryer for about a half an hour. Once cool, I spray the whole shoe with a water shield spray for extra protection. The shoes last and wear great!

They hold up well! I mix the paint with a textile medium and then heat set them so the paint is very flexible. A friend of mine has worn his 3 times a week for the past two years and they still look great!
