The OC Fair starts this weekend!

I am in Portland, Oregon visiting friends and family this week but for those of you in Orange County, the fair starts this Friday, the 19th! It looks like it's going to be awesome, with lots of live entertainment, food, rides, and of course, all the great handmade stuff competing for ribbons!

I'm not sure exactly how the award process works, but if you get to vote, please consider voting for my wedding dress and miniature shoes in the sewing and crochet sections of the Fiber Arts category. Here is a link to the fair website if you would like to know more: http://www.ocfair.com/2015/

Seeing Red- Ruby Slippers and Red Bottom Shoes!

Here they are, straight from Oz as promised...

Dorothy's ruby slippers in miniature! Glass seed beeds give them their sparkle. I just couldn't resist re-creating these iconic shoes. I know I always dreamed of having a pair when I was a child. If you would like some too, check them out in my Etsy shop!

Don't they look like the originals?

And speaking of red, I was also inspired by these oh-so-famous red soled shoes by Christian Louboutin, so I decided to make some of them too!

The originals...

My interpretation!

I've got some more shoe ideas for next week as well as some non-shoe things. Also, check back on Friday for a bonus post on one of my in-process projects! Keep dreaming and I'll see you next time!
