He truly needs to come back over to America, hopefully it happens soon 

It looks like someone needs to come back over to the states... 

Yes this would be the best thing ever!!! Thanks so much for doing this, props to you! 

THIS IS SO AMAZING OMG.   

Also side question: where did you order it? Cause I only found it on amazon and it was like $200 

 

I'm currently working on the Mika tassels necklaces 

What are you guys doing lately? Or are you just coming here for inspiration? 

Thank you! He is made from an American Girl doll ($115). I made the wig from an old doll wig, which I curled and cut. One of a kind!   I made all of his clothes as well 

Soooo, here is the big project I've been working on. A Mika doll! I also made him a huge wardrobe, including many replicas of his real outfits. I'll definitely share photos of them on here soon! Anyways, I posted these two photos on Instagram Saturday night (Jan 2nd), and on Sunday morning, MIKA LIKED THEM!!! I must admit that I bawled my eyes out for a good 20 minutes. Having the person who is your idol, inspiration, hero, and lifesaver notice your appreciation for them is a feeling I can't describe. Thank you Meek.    

And in celebration, I FINALLY ordered the Kukulakuku Swatch! YAY!  

I've listened to Lola what seems like hundreds of times, and have also watched the interview where he discusses the song, but I'm still confused.

Is Lola:

-someone that he's falling in love with, but then decides to tell that it's not going to happen

or

-a friend of his that he is talking to about the 'love dilemma' he's having with someone?

Help! 

Well if I were in the front row, I'd already be bawling my eyes out, so I'd probably start crying harder, scream a little, laugh at how stupid I look, then hug him and mumble how much he's changed my life. I'd be very emotional, yes. 

And it pays off ! It's absolutely beautiful !   

 

For those of you who'd like to try them, I found two different links of plain white canvas shoes that are pretty cheap: here and here ! 

 

I also found water based sealer for cheap here, so you have pretty much all it takes to make those beauties 

EDIT: I got the wrong water based sealer, which one did you use Mya?

I used matte Mod Podge! 

I really love his more casual outfits, especially when he wears plain clothes, then accents them with crazy shoes and accessories 

Okay..... WOW. These are my favorite shoes in the whole world  I don't think I have the skill to do anything similar, but how did you do it?? 

 

Wow, it seems really hard to make... But maybe I'll try! 

Thank you! I started with a pair of plain canvas shoes. I used acrylic paints, and finished them with a water-based sealer. LOTS of patients and inspiration were needed to make them! 

wow!! these look amazing what kind of paint did you use?

I used acrylic paints, and finished them with a water-based sealer! By the way, your profile photo honestly gives me live, I can't get enough of it 

WOW! Just wow! Those are amazing!!!!!

I kind of wanted to make shoes similar to this, but I don't know how to start. What color were they before you painted them, and what colors did you use? If you can help

They were originally teal, but I painted over all parts of them anyways. I used virtually every color of acrylic paints (lots of mixing). I finished them with a water-based sealer. Hope that helped some!

It's always nice to see another US mikafan here

I'm Yang, live in Iowa, where do you live?

And if you dont mind, would you like to share your mika-discover story?

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! My Mika-discovery story is pretty plain, but I'll tell it anyways. About 4 years ago, I heard the song grace kelly is a dance show. It was stuck in my head for a while, so I went on to see other songs by this artist. I then quickly fell in love. Its amazing how quickly I got pulled in, but I feel as though Mika has totally consumed my life (in the best of ways, of course). So, that's that!

And a closer view of the left shoe:

Heres a closer view of the right shoe:

FINALLY finished these shoes today, they took 4 days to make. They are inspired by all four album covers, as well as some nods to music videos, and of course his partnership with Swatch. I'm really happy with them, what are your thoughts?​

Excellent topic! I've actually been working on a pair of shoes over the past week which are inspired by his album covers! I'll be sure to post a photo when I finish them!
