Behind every shoe there is a STORY

Heard alot about movies,songs,an antique, ever thought what makes all these things interesting?

there is always a same reason behind all of it, A STORY - a story which makes us imagine things which we wouldn't have ,A story which makes us think twice about things.

I am priyanka gusain www.facebook.com/zubiyaarts I make shoes out of stories, weird? 

No , its not . I do this for a living,every shoe I make has a story behind it,someone may know about it or not , Here i am sharing my insights to my work. every time i sit to make a new design i think about something which has passed to my subconscious mind in past and how is it connected to me.

The product confessions shoe-  is the ballerina so much close to me that i feel like sharing the story behind it.

STORY- All i ever wanted was to wear something which actually showed how i felt sometimes, smiley badges were a great help that time but i wanted something more than that, when i started off with painting ballerinawww.zubiya.com i felt like painting all my dreams into them and share it with world.
In my head the story started with a guy who wants to share likeness with the girl he likes,its like a MINI LOVE STORY IN A SHOE.The perfect love story you can have which usually starts off with a flower and ends with a happily ever after. Maybe its my love story,pretty cliché but i can live with that..hahaha!
So the urge for me to draw the short version of date on a shoe seemed to be quite interesting. The shoe confessions as its name suggests is the confession of a guy to a girl he likes and he wants to confess his feeling. For me this pair is a perfect valentine gift,bullet proof love can never fail to impress me maybe you can try it on to some of those pretty girls out there and feel the difference between a soulless shoe and soulful shoe. Not everyday you can find a shoe with a story.
XOXO

hello everyone, this style is very easy to make...
ALL U NEED IS 
1) a pair of old shoe
2)loads of color to splash
3)newspaper to cover the respective floor on which u are going to place the shoe
how to do it:
remove shoe laces,place newspaper on the floor,clean the shoe with sand paper to remove dust and any material, use different colors(bright,neon colors) to splash you can use brush of different sizes depending how big u want the splash to be,bigger brush=bigger splash
leave the shoe to get dry , make sure there is no lump of paint on the shoe if there is try to clean it because if there is a lump it will chip off with in few days....
here u go (now u have an amazing and not at all boring pair of shoe)
GET ZUBED :)

ITS A glitzy day.
as we are girls and we love what ,so lets glitter our old shoes...
ALL U NEED-old shoe(once you've messed with these shoes, they'll be glittered for life),loads of glitter preferable, material of the shoe though––leather and patent leather will usually work well. However, suede and similar textures can be difficult for the glue and glitter to adhere to,use fabric glue or mod podge glue.
step 1) use masking tape to cover the are in which u doesn't want the glitter
step 2)cover your floor with newspaper to reuse the residue glitter
step 3)apply glue over the shoe in different sections and glitter them
step 4) do step 3 until the whole shoe is covered and let it dry
step 5) brush off the extra glitter and redo again if needed..
GET ZUBED AND GLITTERED AWAY.....

AN ARTY FEELING

Every time when i see a product i feel like knowing a story behind it, like how it started ,what era fashion i am wearing,why is neon so in?
the same feeling i get when i see hand painted products,be it a handpainted arty pair of ballerina or a clutch  there is always a story behind a handpainted or hand crafted product, be it a lady in rajasthan outskirts who works to feed her family,the lady who was given a chance to show her art  in front of the world or the lady who won awards and got appreciated for the work she has done or be it me who painted as a hobby for past 14 years and now thought of sharing the love for art with you all. every one who paints has an attachment towards it, being a painter all i can think about is sharing my story behind an art..
the flag wallet in the picture has a story behind it too,watching nation fighting over race,cast,color, i thought what would happen if i can take a flag and change its color all together,be it a UK flag what if the colors in this flag were blue red green or pink instead of its actual colors ,what if we could decide what colors we want ? what if it wasn't a big controversy in India to wear a flag and flaunt it all together we are a race which believes in experimenting and we will keep doing it , may be its a controversial matter in india but we have a right to speech and we do have a right to imagine.

i see this world how i want it to be, a happy place,loads of cultures and religions to follow,different attire to wear...
ALL I WANT IS TO LIVE IN A WORLD WITH A  MEANING AND A STORY BEHIND EVERYTHING...IT MAKES EVERYTHING MUCH MORE INTERESTING

zubiya journey

ZUBIYA JOURNEY : Being a paint lover i always had this idea to depict my emotions through my work of art,using colors to show the emotions, being brought up in a very supportive family and with great bunch of friends i always had the urge to do more and make my parents proud and try and experiment in life.

this urge took me from a normal commerce student to pursue my hobby as my career , make my love for painting my career..there were times when i thought this could not work and might be not a good idea but guess what how many of us actually know what exactly do we want in life , we need failure,experiments,innovation, good set of team with us to see what exactly we want and how successful it can be for us..

January 3rd 2013 we started of with the brand name @ZUBIYA by p.gusain arts which is unique in its own way, with a mere experiment on ballerina and bags, i started off as a footwear and bags brand ..a personal urge to experiment with my own shoes and bags i started customizing shoes and bags for experimental clients who were bored of the same old available designs available in the markets now,soon we will be expanding it more onto different categories...who knows what will happen all we can do is work hard and work smart to achieve what we exactly want ten years down the lane, right now i am in cosmopolitan's issue who knows next year i can be FORBES magazine :P... TILL THEN LETS JUST EXPERIMENT , dream big and enjoy our work.
