I absolutely love the peacock feathers and its blue eyes.I hand painted one all around every shoes going all the way from the front and wrapping the heels and they look so unique and stunning.
Heels are 3 1/2" high.

Created for a Nautical and exotic Wedding.On a Dyeable satin high heel wedge, very comfortable and perfect for outdoor events. Simple and sleek, with a hint of glamour, the t-strap is entirely incrusted with rhinestones. Can be dyed in any color. 4" heel, leather sole. 

The shoes had been dyed on a deep turquoise and they have tons of hand painted pearls surrounding peach calla lilies and chandeliers,all this items end the fabulous display on a replica of a 1950's film strip. You can have the shoes designed for you with your own Wedding Theme.I will create a one of a kind shoe that no one else could have and you can treasure it as a keepsake forever.

Thrilled to be a new member....

I found this team on etsy,when one of your kind members added my shoes to a treasury and I was blown away and absolutely charmed.Not a minute after I wanted to be part of this wonderful group of designers,artists and people like me who understand the "Offbeat Bride".
I look forward to meet Glenda (from Midnight Boudoir )in person ,as she will be coming down in January to Florida to visit family.I admire her store and I can't wait to wear one of her exotic hair pieces...I guess we both love Peacocks!
