Oh, thanks ... that was to easy? ... Yes, it´s a heart and the round arch of it goes into the m of me ... my husband hat to take a few pictures so you could probably see it. Would you have seen it without my hint ?? This bag will go with me tomorrow ... love it.Gorgeous!!! Love me?!
Hi Oaken, thank you - but guess what, I´m still practicing to strass closer together. Did a pair of pumps - BUT I can´t, I´m so scared to lose control. I mean I fear to use to much of one size on the shoe and not the same way on the other shoe, that freaks me out and the new pair wasn´t close at least - better, but not closeCute! I admire your use of patterns. That's not my forte
BUT, I think the sparkle is even better now.
Hi it looks great ... can´t see any gaps. I have read that we should not use to much glue. When I have to use E6000 (hate it) I use a syringe and to a line but right after that, I take a toothpick (wooden) to spread it out a little, than place the crystals. Maybe this helps a little.
Okay good, becuase thast what I have been doing, I think i used too much. But yes i officialy have a new hatred for E6000.... its so stringy and dries so fast and lumpy boo
Happy 4th of July Ladies!
Just finished these red, white and blue strass (no, not FOR Independence Day, but it just happened to work out that way)
Hot pink YoYo painted red and strassed in Light Siam:
These were black satin that I painted metallic blue and strassed in Capri:
These ivory Hyper Prive were painted silver and strassed in Moonlight. The blue insole is the PERFECT pairing for the light blue iridescence that reflects off the special coating. I am in LOVE with this color. It's far more interesting and beautiful than clear crystal IMO:
And finally, just a little red, white and blue festive fun. Thanks for letting me share ladies!
Those are gorgeous!!!!
^so pretty!
^it's beautiful! I see "me"I strassed a small box-clutch to match my Cl´s ... and it has a little secret
^looking great so far
This is so beautiful, it makes me want to buy a pair of cl flats. You are so creative and the shoes look spectacular! Love it!!
So .... 1,728 crystals later, I ran out and completed 1 shoe! I totally under estimated how many I needed.... of the 1,728 theres probably 50-100 5ss left! Everything else is gone, literally to the last crystal! And thats not even a full shoe, the patent part of my shoe was only the heel and part of the top back portion of the shoe! My cell phone is dead right now and who knows where my camera is, so I will take a picture later.
I love them!!!! It came out so good! I mean, close up or under a microscope its obviously not perfect some excess glue, but for the most part there isnt really any gaps..
So now I have to order more!! I ordered & used:
2 gross- 9ss
2 gross- 10ss
2 gross- 12ss
3 gross- 5 ss
2 gross- 7 ss
1/2 gross- 16ss
1/2 gross- 20 ss

This thread is making Me want to straws my sorta scuffed up gold ballerinettes! I was having lunch with my mom today and showed her some of the gorgeous handiwork in this thread and she is amazed! I will practice on the heels of a pair of nude Jimmy Choo Lilacs one of my cats so lovingly decided to nibble on. She loves paper and receipts but she just had to treat herself to filet mignon! I will get to ordering sometime this week! I can't wait!
The ballerinettes were a fabulous consignment store find, along with the choos. The Loubies had tiny scuffs here and there but I wear them so much. The Choos were near perfect except for a spot where the stitching came out on the right heel.
