Shoe Updates

Woooooo!!! My black diamond Swarovski rhinestones came in, so I was able to finish my shoes. Although they didn't fit in the design as well as I'd hoped, a little bit of spacing all around made it look great. Here are the pics:

It came out pretty good I think...and they are unique! I still need to get some sweet-looking foot pads for the inside so my feet won't ache. Will also need to remember to pack bandaids because they may rub me the first time I wear them.

Apparently my garter set has shipped, but I haven't gotten it yet.

Also, Lulusplendor is working on the hair piece I requested. She sent me a mock-up of the design:

This is the overall design...isn't it beautiful?! Except this is raw brass, as she explained to me, so the finish will look like this:


I think this will work beautifully with the dress and the whole look. I can't wait to see everything all done! And the clip is only going to cost me $62, so I'll get the whole lot, custom, for less than I could get some other boring vintage jewelry.

Shoes

So, my beautiful shoes got dyed last week. They look amazing! I can't wait to bedazzle them! I have all the Swarovski crystals and the glue, I am just working through how I want to design them.

Here they are with no crystals.


I am searching the internet for some design ideas, but it seems like most shoes just have the entire heel covered in crystals. I am not sure I want to go that route.

I am leaning more towards something like the second one, since I don't really want to cover the entire heel. Not that it looks bad, but since my shoes are bright yellow, I was thinking something more subtle.
