So...

So here are a few examples of my work, what I've done, and what I can do.  I can dye shoes to create the perfect background color for a strass job.  I can use an existing background color and strass what's given to me.  I am even in the process of beginning a DIY studs and spikes project.  Here are a couple before and after shots of my work:

I transformed these gold Very Prives to a champagne color, then strassed with Jonquil AB.  They are a yellow/gold stone that reflects orange and blue tones.  They are so stunning in real life.  They are truly "Cinderella shoes".

These were done for my first ever client, Alicia, aka "Curly Nikki".  She sent me a pair of nude Pigalle 100mm, and I dyed them bronze, then strassed them with Crystal Dorado Swarovski crystals.  She wore them to her husbands 10 year high school reunion, and to an event in Downtown St Louis, and people were definitely envious of these beautiful shoes.  The best part of all...Christian Louboutin created the Pigalle 120 Dorado for over $3,000 (which you probably saw in Sex In The City 2), but excluding the price of the shoes themselves, I created these for her for $680. Now that is a steal...

These were a pair of silver Very Prive that I strassed using Swarovski Crystals. They are clear stones, and they literally shine like diamonds.  Picture how your diamond engagement ring or diamond earrings shine in the light, now imagine over 8,000 diamonds on your shoes that glimmer in the light as you move....they are stunning and to die for.  I can't wait to wear them in my friend's wedding Labor Day Weekend.  Everyone will definitely be envious of them!  The best part...Christian Louboutin's "Very Riche" retails for $3,695 plus tax.  I paid $350 for the VP's on ebay (authenticated first, of course), and spent about $300 for the Swarovski crystals.  That's a $3,045 savings!!!
