Fashion kills.

So news of the day:
For my first art project, I wanted to build glass slippers from old drinking glasses. I wanted the slippers to look jarred and dangerous to represent Cinderella's painful life. Unfortunatly, building glass slippers from scratch proven to be much much more difficult then I thought. At first, I was planning to sew shoes out of plastic fabric and then add glass on top of that base. I manged to construct the plastic shoe, but then I glued one piece of glass on it and it flattened because of the weight.

After saying "Huh. Should have seen that coming..." I decided to try finding an old flat sandal sole to start from. Installing the glass heel on the sandal killed it. Then it smelled like burning. The hot glue was melting the sole. Stupid cheap sole!

Isa : 0
Evil shoe : 2

I then asked my mother for help. She offered me old white sandals. The sole was beautiful, but the top was horribly ugly. I tried cutting off the top. Stabbed my hand.

Isa: 0
Stupid evil shoe: 3
(and I didn't even really start on the glass. What's it gonna be when dangerous materials will be used?)

At this point I got pretty tired of trying. I tried calling my friend tama to go out and therefore not keep trying.
Tama was busy.

At this point, since distraction was out of the picture, I tried calling the person who gave me advice on my weird sculpture projects before: Link. Link suggested that I go forth and seek fiberglass and try to build a transparent sole with that. Not a bad idea i'll admit. But expensive. So I tried finding an alternative. Wallacks as a few suggestions, so tomorrow, i'll be visiting wallacks on bank street. Get myself some firepower to overcome the shoe.

I really really want to make this shoe, which is most likely why I have abandonned yet XD

But while looking for cool shoes building ideas, I found a new awesome fairy tale using artist:
Miss Cherbuliez! I love her Snow white in the coffin sculpture! It has a large amount of dust on it (on purpose). Awesome! Her Alice is great too.


Wow, i've been posting a lot and talking about artstuff. This blog is gonna go from "drabbles of the delightfully eccentric" to "drabbles of the artistically challenged" soon.....
