Hyacinth Shoe

Hyacinths are my favorite flower, possibly because they're nature's pH indicator. I had some blue-green hyacinths in my stash, and thought they'd look pretty on a summery little sandal.

I primed the shoe with white spray paint, so it could handle pale sheer glitters. The blue is a glitter I can't identify, as it was applied in The Glitterage. The lime green on the sole, heel and lettering is Martha Stewart. I lined the edge around the shoe with silver braid trim and glued some hyacinth blossoms with rhinestone centers on the front. To give it a little extra bling, I added a row of rhinestones down the back and some more dotted around the sandal straps.
