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!
