From perfectly nice, but rather plain satin shoes...
... to something a little more glamorous, and certainly more suited to the lovely mother of the bride.
As the lone crafter in the family, my mother in law commissioned me to turn the plain jane shoes into something more befitting her fabulous wedding outfit. Pressure!!Made from matching silk I finished these shoe clips with a vintage Japanese pearl cabochon.
When I emailed a picture of my first attempt to my mother in law to see if she liked them and wanted me to continue, this was her reply:
"The shoe design is marvellous. I love, love, love them! If you can make those I would be delighted. Can you try? You are a wonder!"
What a lovely response! She has been in somewhat of a panic about finding the perfect shoes to go with her outfit, so I think she is delighted to finally solve the problem, with only days left to spare.
The usual recipients of my crafting efforts are the girls, who are most likely to run straight into the garden and cover their lovingly created designs in mud, so I'm basking in the warm and fuzzy glow of appreciation right now...I am a wonder...oh yeah...
those shoes look like they were made for the flower the flower adds such a wonderful touch bravo =D
