Projects in the Works

Oh yeah. I finished the marketing internal "competition". I am pleased as punch.. Say it with me in the Koolaid way "Oh Yeah." So anywho. The idea was to find a way to use tinted paper in an innovative fashion and boy was I innovative. Spring is on its way in about 150 days so I decided to go that route.. First pic is of the Spring Ring. I took some silver wire and wound it around to create a ring. Here you can see the skeleton.

Then I wet some paper and wrapped it around the skeleton to make a flower ring. I "shellacked" it and there you have it.. Pureety..

Naturally I needed to also make a pair of earrings because a girl needs to accessorize.

And shoes.. Gotta have the shoes. These were 10 Euros and were the exact copy of my wedding shoes. (Note to future brides: wear comfy shoes, seriously. Even though these are the lowest heels I wear and they were extremely comfortable, my big toe turned black after the wedding. The Husband made me wear socks on the honeymoon. DON'T WEAR STILLETOS; YOUR FEET WILL DIE). Anyway, here are the shoes that I call Grass Roots and boy are they something I will wear come Spring. And then some high society person will come up to me and be all like "Love those shoes! Where did you get them?" and I'll be all like "I made them." and then I'll have a boutique where I make a one of kind shoes and charge a lot of money. Der Sigh.

Booyah! Aren't they awesome?! I'm really pleased with the results! Easy to make and super cheap! Stay tuned for more shoe makeovers in the next few months!
