It takes a day or two to complete one of my custom order shoes. And while it might be easier to work on several shoes at once, I don’t. The nature of the antique and crepe papers I work with are extremely delicate, so I'm careful to make my work space clean and clutter free. I create each shoe individually by hand, never assembly style. This helps produce shoes I can be proud of.
This style is especially difficult to make because there are so many intricate details to craft. And if you make one mistake, it's back to the drawing board. The result is worth the meticulous effort.
I've been busy creating. I'll be by soon to visit.
Scrumptious! I just love the calligraphy...really, really beautiful Nancy!

Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your beautiful creations! Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,

Lovely shoes Nancy…
ReplyDeleteThe ledger paper is stunning.
I too work one at a time, I think for me it is a need to feel the process and enjoy each step …
But I don’t work clutter free; I start with a large clean surface and will work myself into a tiny empty spot.

ReplyDelete*sigh* The idea of a clean and clutter-free work space is a foreign one to me. I clean it up, and within minutes I feel like Pig Pen with his dirt cloud hovering overhead. I have to check the bottoms of my shoes when I leave the studio to make sure I don't track clay through the house! :O
ReplyDeleteYour shoes are dreamy little creations. Congratulations.
Hugs,
Kate
