Adding string, pva glue, silver paint, black ink, white acrylic.
Trying to achieve the silvery shiny affect worked by coating the shoe firstly in acrylic. Adding string and then coating in PVA added a further shiny edge. I glued the laces in a way to blend in with the pattern of the string. This also affected the shine of the piece. I brushed black ink over the top of the silver paint which added a contrasting affect, and finally added some areas of white paint to further enhance the shine affect.
This experimental sculpture turned out quite well as I have learned how to manipulate the object to achieve a high shine affect. Turning the object of an ordinary/ classic and very inexpensive shoe from Primark, into this extra ordinary sculptural piece worked the way I intended.
