This thread has exploded with super talented ladies!!!
I've done a few strass pairs myself but I've noticed there's a lot of new crystal colors out. Where are you getting your color cards? I have one from MJ trim that's a year or two old...
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 close BUT, I think the sparkle is even better now.Cute! I admire your use of patterns. That's not my forte
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.Hi guys!! so my crystals came in yesterday, and as soon as I got home last night at around 11 I started! ... Im so scared lol ... first of all I didnt think it would take SO LONG i stopped at 1:30am and didnt even have the whole heel done.
So this is my problem, i dont know if im putting too much glue or what, but when you look close up I can see excess glue around the crystals. I dont want any spaces in mine, so I probably have to go back and fill in those tiny spots with 5ss but its still bugging me, do you think that means I am applying too much E600? I am putting a blob using a syrng, then flattening it out over a larger surface and applying the crystals. Maybe I shouldnt do that? I saw that from youtube videos.
Also, surprisingly, I like the larger crystals so much better, the way they look and pick up light!
Anyways heres an iphone pic of my progress, the other side of the heel you cant see in the picture is done ...

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!
dreamtime creations I think has some new colors.
