I'm an 18 year old girl who loves art and creating unique crafts. I started buying plain shoes and painting my own designs on them. My friends all want me to make shoes for them now and everyone says I'm so talented and should sell my shoes, but I simply don't have the funds for start up costs to build up a supply to have available and ready to go when people would order from my etsy shop or my facebook page. My goal is to have a pair of shoes for each professional team as well as college sports and even high school mascot shoes.  Chances of selling the shoes are so much greater if people can actually see their team, player, or school colors, on an actual pair of shoes, instead of just having to imagine what it would look like. I would like to obtain enough funds to create stock to show people and take pictures of to list on facebook and my etsy shop "Shoes Show Character"
