More adjustments are needed (the stitching on the right shoe seems a little bright for one thing)–but the shoes are essentially hooked. Next step, the background and border. I am thinking of doing smallish squares in a medium tone for the background, kind of like tiles, perhaps getting darker at the edges.
For those of you who have asked, the shoes are made by El Naturalista, a Spanish company. This pair is a few years old and I have certainly worn them in. I have a few pairs from this brand because the quality is tops and the comfort beyond compare. However, I did buy a pair of these yesterday! Now they would be a challenge to hook! (Apologies for the dip into shopping channel mode–shoes do that to me!!!)
I’ll be back with the background soon I hope.
Not an easy perspective, but you have done an awesome job. You could dab a bit of weak tea on the stitching if you think it looks too bright, rather than do it over again. And your background sounds wonderful. I have spent too much time on the El Nat website, but don’t like any of the new models as much as I LOVE yours. W.
