Peacocks on Pointe

The dance store near where I live did this contest where they gave you a pair of pointe shoes to design, and if your design was the prettiest/best you'd get a $50 gift card to their store. I have always wanted to do this, so it was a win-win situation. xD
The only bad thing was the time crunch to finish them. o.O

If I had more time there would be a buttload more beading on them, but yeah...Here's the process:

-Dyed the shoes blue with spray-on fabric dye (worked so amazingly well. I was surprised!)
-Sprayed adhesive glue on and then sprinkled on coppery-tinted glitter on them (you can't probably tell that they sparkle, but oh, they do!)
-Sprayed adhesive glue on box of shoe/feather and attached feather, then had to glue the feather on again with Elmer's. D= Would not stay on the shoe.
-Embroidered beading on back of shoe, etc. I tried to embroider the box, but that is impossible. *dies* I had to glue some of the beads on the box because my hands were hurting so bad.
-Sewed gold sheer ribbons on for lacing up (even though these shoes are -not- for wearing)
-Sewed/glued rest of ribbon on the inside of the shoe to cover minor thread from embroidery

And voila, a peacock pointe shoe. If I don't win I'm totally putting these up in my room with all my other peacock-related things. xD
