I was sooo disappointed say, 5 hours ago because I went to the canvas shoe website and they didn't have the cookie monster//elmo shoe design I wanted so I sourced around and I was between these rainbow pair of shoes, one black swirly whirlies (which is soooo me) and then it hit me! I WANT A PAIR OF SHOES WITH SPARROWS//DOVES. After seeing what Dani drew on her shoes (or her shoes-in-progress) I wanted something similar. And the images of doves// sparrows on the net wasn't nice so I search for doves// sparrows TATTOOS. And I hit JACKPOT. I got soooo many nice pictures and I went to Michelle Myles' tattoo shop's website and I found pictures of her tattoo designs. PRETTY AWESOME.

The first two are Michelle Myles' work. I'm quoting her name just in case they accuse me of stealing her intellectual property without citing sources. So go to erm, Funcity's website (I think that's what it's called), to check them out if you're interested. Just type in "Michelle Myles" into a search engine and you'll find it. I LOVE how intense the colours in the first tatt look and the right wing of the sparrow (I think) reminds me of a pheonix. The second tatt is just sweet and I like the fact that in it's mouth is a branch (so I pressume this one's involving doves). Doves and sparrows looks pretty similar to the untrained eye.

Now, this is what I want my shoe to look like. So instead of the tattoo on my feet, it'll be on the shoes larh. It's gonna be one sparrow on each side, facing each other, but I want each of them to hold a branch of leaves (not too big) in their mouths. Then like the stars you see in Michell's first tattoo, I want little colourful stars all around the side of the shoes in varying sizes. And on the back, I want a big yellow//orange star that looks like the one you put on top of your Christmas tree.

So this is something like what I want my sparrows to hold in their mouths. This bird's a dove by the way. I do love the blue shadings on it's wings (:

And I want my sparrow to be in a vibrant colour so something like these two colour schemes, or like the one in Michelle's first tatt will do great!


OH YAY. I'M SO HAPPY CAUSE I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT I WANT! (:
Now, it's how to convey what I want to my producer of the shoes!



Dolly Parton isn't as bad as you imagine. I love this song of her's. But before you go searching for her version, try David Cook's version first.

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

All ye maidens hede my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain

If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes

I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain

I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme

All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend

Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never ends
