Galaxy Canvas Shoes

"MY fault?"

Have you ever seen Bunny, AKA Grav3yardgirl on Youtube?  She's delightfully strange, a real-life  Addams Family cousin and one of the most unique beauty/lifestyle vloggers I've seen.  I love her series "Does this Thing Really Work?" where she gets As Seen on TV products and tests them out.  Lately, she's been doing that with Pinterest, and one of her more recent ones has been tie dye sharpie shoes.  I was struck by the way that the sharpie bled in a similar manner to watercolors, and An Idea was born.

I decided to do a galaxy  print because it would be a more forgiving pattern if things crashed and burned.  I'm probably going to try some other sorts of drawings to see how I can manipulate this further because I think I can do some other really cool things with this very simple technique.
