I actually finished these Bana last week, but I was waiting on larger 30ss stones from Dreamtime Creations to apply to the button portion. This project was an absolute breeze, though. Ashley sent these to me having already painted over the multiclor miniglitter. She actually considered selling the pair because she never wore them, but after telling her glitter can indeed be painted and strassed over, she was all in. And I was so excited, because she chose Heliotrope crystals, which is my second favorite Swarovski stone. (Side note: I will be strassing a *drumroll* Daffodile in Heliotrope(are you dying yet?)) But anyway, the Lumiere paint matched the stones perfectly, creating a flawless result. These are the types of commissions I like. Sometimes when the background doesn't complement the stone I mentally beat myself up the entire time, trying to convince myself it looks good. These turned out beautifully and the video doesn't do the shoes any justice!
I am completely in love! I really like the larger crystal on the buckle button. :) You have the best artistic vision EVER. I love you!

ReplyDeleteMy problem with most of the Swarovski Heliotrope you can get now is they just don't have the depth of colour they used to have. Most just look purple where the really good ones that aren't cut as shallow have the blue & the purple shifting properly. I have found recently that Peciosa Bermuda often has a better blue/purple look than Swarovski Heliotrope. The second image makes these look like they shift pretty well & either way they are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIve been looking for a shoe like this for weeks. They are AMAZING.
