Masking Tape Shoes













I knew my experience with three-dimensional work as opposed to two-dimensional was limited but it became abundantly clear with my surprise by how difficult simple masking tape can be to work with. Initially I thought making the shoes would be easily doable, especially the Converse sneakers I had been wearing for two years because I was so familiar with them. I was wrong. While my respect for Converse has gone up because I now recognize the slightest differences in shape the shoes have in comparison to other brands that makes them stand out and be fashion forward, replicating them with tape was a poor decision on my part.

If I were to go back and make another pair of shoes, I would certainly purchase an inexpensive pair that ought to be a simpler design and cut them up to see the individual pieces instead of just looking and guessing.
