High heels + glitter = why didn’t I think of this before?! I was looking at a Val Zeitler collection (Attic Treasures, I think) in an old issue of Haute Doll and I saw some awesome red glittery shoes. I had a pair of cream-colored Dale Rae heels that I bought, intending to paint them or glue fabric to them or something, but glittering seemed like such a better idea.

I painted them black first, then glittered them a little section at a time. I went with Martha Stewart hematite glitter, since it’s a pretty neutral shade. A pair of peridot-colored shoes sounds awesome though!

Before & After








Yellow ochre/mustard Japanese-inspired print. Best worst color ever.
The Caroler by Mary Engelbreit for moda, pattern #18048. Very whimsicle.
Strange cross-stitch style font. The print is kinda too large for doll scale, but I think it’ll look neat and graphic in the end.
So cute! Ecru bows on a navy background.
I think this would make a cute apron for Noa. Supporting Cast #2307 by Ro Gregg.
Tiny deer on a dark yam-colored background. Woodlands by Erin McAllister for Benartex’s American Folk Art Studio #4331.
