Mermaid scale heels!!!!!

[Mermaid Oshun]

no you ladies are. Im actually just working on homework atm

[Aziara]

Haha! If you got some of the hard silicone, you could make shoe soles and top them with softer silicone uppers.

Oh! That's also a good idea!

[Jessica]

Silicone would not work well for the bottom of a shoe

it would get so dirty...everything sticks to silicone....and wouldn't give you hardly any protection if you were to step on something sharp like a nail. It would also get cut up or damaged easily on gravel or pavement. If you were just going to wear them around the house, that would probably be ok, but if you have carpet the bottom would constantly be covered in lint!

Scale shoes really aren't ideal for everyday wear.....more of a special occasion type of shoe! You would need to treat them carefully....just like a silicone tail

[Mermaid Ellowyn]

These are so gorgeous!

[Ariel-Starfish]

OMG I PRETTY MUTCH NEED SOME! Can u do sandals to?

[Ashton]

They faired really well at the wedding, got lots of compliments! They only got a bit dirty on the bottom edge- but it's nothing that can not be wiped off. The bottom of the shoe is Barely warn down. And I really didn't baby these shoes at all- only think I did do is travel with them in a shoe box.

All in all these scale shoes faired quite well even when man handled, danced in, walked around in, used as real shoes.

Make sure you use a shoe you know fits well!

Ashton,
Pictures!! We need pictures!!!

i figured they would get a little dirty! Everything clings to silicone! I'm so glad they held up well!! I'm still amazed that you can walk in those! I would literally look like a mermaid walking on legs for the first time if I had heels on that high!

Ariel,

sandals might work....it would depend on the shoe!

[Ariel-Starfish]

Awsome! I have flat, faux leather sandals with some flat studds on. Would that work?

like these in black, and a thinner strap around the calves.

Just some scales on the wide band would be awsome!!

[Ariadne]

Ermahgerd! These are beautiful! Must. Have. Immediately.

So cool! I wonder how they'd look as wedge heels...

Wedges with little fins coming out the sides :P

[Winged Mermaid]

Looks like the idea is catching on :P "Mermaid tail creation Aurore la sirène" saw the pic that Jessica posted and decided to make herself a pair!

Ashton did anyone manage to snag a pic of you in yours? We'd love to see how yours look on!

[Ashton]

Here is a photo of then in action! They were great to wear and looked great too!

I just looked at the ebay shoes and I have to say that I am not as impressed as I was with mine. In my opinion those just look kinda frumpy. And some look more like snake skin than mermaid scales.

[OceanRose]

Ashton yours look sooo pretty :-) <3 <3 I love that blue.
And Jessica you did a really nice job! Hard to believe it's the first time you attempted it *you're a natural*
Yaay mermaid shoes

[Merman Arion]

I prefer Ashton's mermaid scale heels because the color is more vibrant and shiny than Aurore's. It's prettier and perfectly made while Aurore's shoes need some improvement.
Just my opinion

Ashton they look so great on you!!!! Thanks for sharing this picture!

Thanks oceanrose! I'll do even better next time! I have a few scale shoe customers lined up already!

As for Aurore's scale heels.....I don't think that's silicone...latex maybe? I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure it's not dragonskin.

i would like to mention though.....scale shoes are difficult and very time consuming to do! I could have easily made two scale tops+ in the time it took me to do one pair of shoes! I'm really meticulous and I pay a lot of attention to detail though!

[Mer_Adella]

WELL it certainly pays off Jessica. And I think we can all agree that we would rather have someone take their time to make them than just slapping some silicone in a mold and applying them to shoes job well done

Agreed!
