2 days left!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate glass! The heels came out really badly, looking really clunky and 1990s, this morning and now I'm back to the drawing board to see what to do... there is not enough time to remake them so I think I am going with what I have already. Need to produce some new sketches of ideas to correct my issue! 


 Positively though I have completed my toe caps which look really amazing, I've left them quite rustic so they look a little bit worn, but shined the very end of the toe LOADS to really bring out the peachy, coppery tones. I'm so pleased with that and also my spires look great too, I've filed them too and polished them with the polishing mops!




Aside from the heels being HORRIBLE, I have had a lot of success with the soles, using diamond pads to file them down to a really beautiful finish. I think that they would look amazing just on their own with no heel at all. They have a lovely light aerodynamic quality to them which is also complimented by the spires, so I think I'll leave my new designs very simple. I did have a backup plan to use the necks of champagne bottles as heels as the technique for cutting them is do-able, however I will leave it as there is limited time and I'm not too keen on the colour of the bottles.

















Some initial ideas to redesign the shoe.
