mad about shoes.

i am desperately itching for a pair of beautiful espadrilles with a 3.5 inch heel and satin ribbon ties up the ankle. they are the only kind of heels i would wear. i really like the tommy girl ones too but those cost at least $115.90.

the cheapest pair i could find costs SGD$75.90 from the states. the cherry ones as shown in my wishlist.

so.. i bought a pair of white ballet pumps from Bugis at SGD$30.00! :) my first pair okie.

and i decided to personalise them! :) the first pic shows one side of the shoe when i first came up with the design.. please note that the buttons were NOT stuck onto the shoe yet. initially i had wanted leather cherries very much but they were too tedious and expensive to make, because spotlight only sold dark-coloured leather like navy blue, red, dark green & brown & white & beige. i was looking for pink n light green :) thus, an idea struck me and i decided to use my cute-sy buttons! :) thankfully i had enough for the whole job. anyway, mom asked me NOT to sew the buttons (even though that'd be more secure) because she didn't want the leather to have holes :) i bought craft glue from spotlight (i hope its strong enough to last) and stuck them on! looks rather equal to me.. though not completely.. but its good enough! pic 2 shows my completed product! yay! the right side's unequal cos of the angle from which i took the pic but in real life i measured it like crazy and its the same :)

somehow doing craft makes me much happier than doing art. drawing makes me sulkier than ever because i can't draw well.

i'm so thrilled i can't wait to wear these shoes :) i stayed up till late just to get them done and i think they really match my new school bag really well because of the pink flower pin that's on it. toodles!
