So Many Shoes ... Only Two Feet

Ok so one of my favorite things in the whole world is shoes! and not just any shoes, Manolo Blahnik shoes!! So of course when I found some of his designs I had to have them. Of course I cannot afford them (on only a pilots salary) and I of course cannot have his design book, so I decided to attempt to paint them myself. Of course they are not the real thing I am pretty happy with them. So thank you Manolo Blahnik for making sure beautiful creations!!!

My absolute favorite of my own paintings and of his designs, looks almost exactly like his. I believe I saw it on a book cover as well, if he has a book I have to have it!!

The frills were crazy to make! hard to make each of them have so much individuality but I think it turned out good.

I didn't have the right paint for this one, and if you look closely (in person) you can really notice it. I don't know why I didn't just go out and by the right paint for the job but ooh well, its just for my anyway.

From these beautiful creations I had to continue. I had a day calender of shoes, "just the right fit," basically a new shoe for everyday. Once the year was up I kept the days and just had to do something with them. This is what I decided to do.

Quote about Manolo Blahniks

"Manolo creates visual poems for women's feet. Some women desire fabulous jewels; others think of his shoes as jewels for the feet"
