Quilling High Heel

I finally finished it.  I've been working on this high heel for several weeks in my spare time (ha!).  I started with a search on google for high heel shoe under images and then chose line art.  I found a great one at www.WalterFoster.com.  Here was the start:

I put the print out on top of a piece of corkboard, put wax paper on top of that (so I don't glue to my pattern) and then I rolled the paper, sometimes using a circle guide to know the circles were the same size. I use stick pins to hold the shapes in place while I glue them together.  White glue that dries clear is what I use both to make the circles and to glue one to another.

I ordered the specialty paper from whimsiquills.com for the main part of the shoe.  It's black with a silver edge.  I love the way this turned out. I plan to frame it and hang it in my office.

So what are you working on?  What are you proud of that took you a long time to accomplish?  Please, leave a comment and let me know anything on your mind!
