Basic, Basic Refined, Refined

Here are better examples of the three types of pricing I am offering and a great example of the different types of crystals.

Left: Basic Refined, Jonquil AB crystal and Sunflower standard crystal
Middle: Refined, Volcano crystal effects
Right: Basic, Fern Green and Peridot both standard crystals

As you can see the Basic is ok, the Basic Refined is very nice, and the Refined is drop-dead gorgeous 

There is really so much that goes into the process for these, and the reason why I absolutely love the Basic Refined and Refined is the detail!!

Fern Green and Peridot

These are the shoes I made for a company holiday party.  I randomly placed Fern Green and Peridot crystals on the shoe to create a greater sense of depth.  Plus I didn't want the shoes to look like cheap glittered shoes.  Using two colors really sets these shoes apart.

You can see the black of the shoe coming through.  I elected to not paint these shoes because of the definition it creates between the two colors.

Volcano For Sale

Greetings dear friends!  It is with a heavy heart that I announce I am selling my own Volcano shoes. 

I purchased these shoes while under my personal deadline to have them ready in time for Valentine's Day.  In my haste I picked a shoe brand that I know is not always kind to my feet.  These are Madden Girl shoes, size 8.5.  They cause too much pain for me to wear in good conscious any longer.  Let this be a lesson to you to always pick a pair of shoes that are comfortable to have strassed!!!

I have worn these shoes at least 4 times since February so they have not seen heavy use at all.  I do take exceptional care for my shoes and all sparkly things I create either for myself or someone else.  Know that these shoes are loved and are in exceptional shape.

Since they are pre-worn strassed shoes, I am selling these at a fantastic discount for $960+$15 shipping.  This does not include the cost for the shoes which was $60 (original selling price would be $1160).  The crystals are also in great shape and I will always include a small packet of crystals for replacements just in case any are lost through general wear and tear.

If you are interested in owning a beautiful pair of strassed shoes, contact me at the email listed on my contact page.

Graduation Shoes: Finished!

This is my first time uploading a video, so please bear with me if it's a bit buggy.  I'll have a youtube channel up soon :)

Graduation Shoes: In Progress

They could be finished here!

It's all in the details.  

HOWEVER! I don't recommend strassing the ankle strap, at least not past the buckle.  I learned that lesson so you don't have to.  Sure you'll say you can just squeeze your foot in there, but the stress on the elastic takes it's toll...

 More details.

Graduation Shoes: The Beginning

Here is the beginning of my Jonquil AB and Sunflower shoes!  This is where I refined my beautiful refined shoes on a budget.  I take my time painting a shoe to make sure that I don't make any nasty messes or smudges where it will look off and careless!

The beginning:

Prepping for paint

 

More paint prep

You can see why it takes more than one coat of paint!

Partial Price List is up!

Check out the updated price list!  I've been working very hard to figure out a way to make my prices fair and understandable while charging appropriately for my time. 

There are several styles of shoes listed, so you know that I can do them, but I'm still working on the pricing, so contact me if you have any questions.

I'm very excited to get this business up and running!
