2013 Shoe #6 - The Peacock Shoe

The peacock shoe was made from the mate of the hot pink and purple shoe, so it's another slingback open toe wedge. I started glittering this shoe in purple and blue and green, initially going for kind of a Sirens of New Orleans color scheme, but decided it would be fun to accent it with peacock feathers instead and went with that.

The finished peacock shoe: purple interior, bright peacock blue on the sole and main body of the shoe, gold wedge, seafoam green toe, sea foam green sequins and jade rhinestones around the edges and a little feathery accent I made with peacock feathers from Michael's, pheasant feathers I had, and a teardrop shaped rhinestone.

The other, relatively un-embellished, side of the shoe, showing the exterior color scheme and sequins and rhinestones along the edges. I'm not sure what the precise colors were, but brand-wise, the peacock blue and purple were Tulip, the gold on the wedge was Recollections and the green on the toe was Martha Stewart.

A shot with the flash on, to show the bright green "Muses" and feather accent more clearly. Feathers are kind of a pain, because they never seem to go on sale, and are usually sold in packs containing relatively small numbers so it's hard to really get your coupon's worth. I've been eyeing (pun intended) some of the bigger packs on Amazon because the price per feather is pretty good, but I think my storage space may be too limited for a bulk peacock feather purchase.
