Have you noticed that pansies are becoming popular again on personal and home decor items? I haven’t seen so many pansies since my mom embroidered them on her denim Wrangler shirt in the late 1970s. My sister sent me a pair of Vans and a few pansy pictures to use as a guide to make her a pair of Customized Pansy Floral Painted Sneakers. The humble pansy has won my heart. I’m defintely going to paint more pansies in the future.
