The front sign in chinese means "Believe" and the one behind (which is covered by the front shoe, so just imagine it beeing there.. ) say "Strength". This make more sense considering that I intentionally meant these for a friend of mine who has a tatto saying pretty much that.. but they ended up beeing for her mother. The design of the butterflies just came to me one evening drawing and I must say that I really love them, they´re so cute!
So´one inside has this text "me and my girls forever" mostly because she is such a great and loving mother. The small white heart in forever is one of my favorite details. I also kind of adore the black wannabe-lace ribbon i painted at the top of the shoe - in these pics its not all way round but it is on the shoes right now.
The three dates are the birthdates of her daughters. Since I know she loves having them represented (has it booth in tattoo and necklace) I just had to do it and I think it actually became very nice. I love how simple yet beautiful it is.. Alos, notice the water splattering on the mittle thingie you tie the laces over! Cant wait to give them to Madde! :)
