Along the lines of the Butterfly Garden shoe, I decided to do a wedge that was water lily themed, with the Botanical Gardens lovely lily pond and an impressionist color palette in mind.
I made lily pads by glittering some leaves from a bundle of silk geraniums (which seemed pretty similarly shaped). The lilies are some leftover flowers from when I was making wreaths for our Greek Fest costumes. I glittered them with some purple Martha Stewart glitter and added little clusters of gold beads in the middle. The lily pads and flowers move up the front of the shoe along the angle.
The interior blue is Martha Stewart "lapis lazuli" and the exterior lighter blue is also Martha Stewart (don't recall what the color is called at the moment). The wedge is Recollections ("pesto") and the sole is Recollections "orchid." The edges are lined with green sequin trim and the wedge is decorated with bits of mosaic tile glued with E6000.
