*WOW~! I was so happy and excited to see her request *^o^*!! And immediately I accept this - another great challenge: to diamante CHINESE CHARACTER - the word 喜喜 ~~!! O.o !!~~ so many strokesss (OMG!) *sweating now...

So after a few more emails later from that day, finally on the 2nd Aug09, me n Erica meet *^.^* wahhahahaha... meet-up in real person ler~!!! Erica: U R NOT F*T lar~~ aiyohhh.... and ur FH is ssssooooo TALLLL ler! o.O And both of you r so friendly *^.^* talk until so loud n excited =p I think both side of my neighbour can hear us...hihihi....
But anyway... Thanks, Erica *^.^* for giving me this great opportunity again and thrust me for my 'creativity' diamante service *^.^* Hope u love them~~

Now, let me show you some of my 'behind the scenes' on how my diamante progress goes for your wedding shoe ~*^.^*~ *drum roll~~

First: I draw out the chinese charactor 喜 word and try to arrange the diamontes accordingly... The 1st draft design was not very nice and the words looks like 'robot type' =( Then realized it should have form from a combination of different size of diamontes... so the design looks more 'lifely' and not so boring~! *^.^*
Then, while I plan to source for smaller n bigger diamontes the next day, I started to design more options for the character...some creative ones =) *see options above

Then I finalised on this one~!!! 喜 with heart shape ~~ *^.^* ~~ Lovey dovey *hihihi
So the get the correct position of the diamontes to stick on the shoe, I hav to measure and create a 'mold' for the heels. *this part is damn difficult,man! coz the heels is not a flat surface *sweat again~
But finally I manage to do markings on the heels ~!
Check out my very colorful 'medicine tablet container' that I bought from 100Yen shop, to store my very precious diamontesss *hihihih I love it *^.^* somemore can store accd to colors! *happy yoy!

After a few days of sourcing the smaller n bigger diamontes (paid NUMEROUS visitss from PJ to KL's sewing/tailor's shopss) FINALLY!!! FOUND THEM~~ yohoo! So I start all over again to arrange the nicer creation of the word. *Notice the heart shape now is nicer becoz of the smaller diamontes to create a more dimentional shape *^.^* This part I spend longer time compare to the designing part *sweat sweat sweat...

It was 2.24am =(no kidding! It stated on my profile of this pictures when I took them) while i'm half-way...no no no... I think only quater-way of my diamonte-ing -.- Tired... continue tomorrow! must give quality work... must give quality work x100.....Zzzzz

Den den den dennnnn~~~! x2
(Beethoven Symphony No. 5's chorus sound effect *hehehe)
Yes! Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes! One shoe is done perfectly ~*^.^*~ I'm so proud of my art work! Nice? Nice? comment comments?

I'm so so so happy =) also nervous =S as well.... coz not sure Erica will like my design or not?! *sweat Coz when she come to collect her shoe, meaning is also her first time looking at this design~! Wht if she doesn't like it?! *NO~~~(fade out)
I'm must have confident~! She will like it~! Like how I love it so much until i can't stop shooting & styling more n more n more photos (30 over shoots u know!) of her shoes, just b4 she come to collect it away. So my friends, after a few times of 'filtering'.... Here are some FINAL shoots of Erica's Diamonted Wedding Shoes that I love *^.^* Hope you'll like it too~!
