Continuing to do Muses Shoes inspired by famous shoes (see exhibit A - Ruby Slipper), this is my take on the Cinderella Slipper. It's a hybrid of a Muse-ified Louboutin Cinderella Slipper (complete with the red sole) and elements of the classic powder blue Cinderella get-up. My research and reference images are collected on this Pinterest board. The butterflies and red sole are an homage to the Louboutin Cinderella slippers, but the overall color scheme is more classic animated Disney Cinderella.
This one actually took more work than you might guess from looking at photos: first I primed the shoe with white spray paint, followed that with 2 coats of Recollections "frost" and touch-ups, then coated the whole thing (besides the sole) with a mix of powder blue and iridescent white glitter from Jefferson Variety. All that layering takes time, but the final effect is a really rich, shimmery iridescence.
I did the red sole in Recollections "cherry," finished the edges with gold sequin trim and glued some iridescent blue and gold butterflies around the edge. "Muses" and "2014" were added in Recollections gold, and then I added swirls of translucent iridescent blue-ish-pink sequins (those are really tough to see in the photos).
