I managed to make a pair of shoes to day. It was my second attempt, and I know it can be better with practice. I also need some smaller fingers and some good tools. I´ve used the tutorial for stilettos, that Casey so kindly offered us (thank you so much, Casey!), but I chose to have another heel. The soles and front are made of snake skin. I´ll send a pair of shoes to the first one to guess, what the heel is made of ;-) (Still haven´t got my camera, so you can´t enlarge the picture)
So sweet! Wouldn't mind a pair in 1:1 scale!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess "rose thorns?"
Yep Heather, rose thorns has a fantastic shape. I´ll make a pair for you ;-) Do you want brown, golden brown, blue, pink or red? Please E-mail me your contact information.
ReplyDeleteLove, Susanne
Heather stole my guess!LOL Oh well....I am glad that you liked the tut, Susanne.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, you did a great job!Very nice!
ReplyDelete..Thank you again, Casey, this is great fun. I have a lot of thorns on all of my roses ;-), and I have been singing the Eurytmics song all day.. "Thorn in my side" (or was it eye?)..hmmm..
ReplyDeleteLove, Susanne
Casey, I must admit that when I saw your tutorial with the mesquite thorns, I wondered if rose thorns would work!
ReplyDeleteSusanne, I email you with my info. I'm so excited. Being new to minis, this is a big thrill!
Dear Heather..please remember that I´ve only tried shoe making twice, but I want to express that its great fun, and anyone can make their own version ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove, Susanne
I love your shoes Susanne great job your bags are great too

Thorns as heel.
ReplyDeleteHeathter congratulations
Nice shoes
Susanne, I will say one thing. The mesquite thorns are better for stilettos and higher heels. I am going to try the rose thorns for lower ones though. I think that there are lots of possibilities. I did think that the ends of the bamboo skewers turned out well. If you don't have access to thornes, those work well too.
ReplyDeleteSusanne, these are lovely and well done Heather.
ReplyDeleteDear Casey, Thanks for your commet. I am afraid that the climate in DK doesn´t allow us to grow mestiquites, but a lot of other plants with thorns though, and another alternative is the end of a cocktail stick.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the pompadour shape of the rose thorn would be interesting in the shoe business, and found it very easy to glue on, because it already has at "foot". I just cut a little bit of the end to make it stand.
There are so many ways to reach what you want!
Love, Susanne
Una idea genial para un trabajo excelente!!!
ReplyDeletebesitos ascension
Susanne these shoes are beautiful and elegant! now we want a nice dress! ah ah!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shoe's!! And what a great idea for the heels :-)
ReplyDeleteGr. Nancy
Oh, that is just so great...I would NEVER have thought of using any sort of thorn for shoe heels. They are wonderufl....clever you!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the shoes!! I haven't had a chance to make the shoes in Casey's tutorial yet. I have lots of dried roses in a vase that hubby gave me. He'll think I'm cracked when he sees me clipping all the thorns off to make shoe heels!!! Oh my, the life of a miniaturist! Thanks for showing your work!
ReplyDeleteThey are great, I guessed rose thorns too, do I get a pair?:D
ReplyDeletese ven muy bonitos, me gustan muchísimo como le quedaron
