Bloody Fingers

There is a story behind my newest DIY. While shopping in Vancouver, Stefanie forgot one of her bags in one of the trashy barstar stores we were in, so we went back in to search for it. After we had found it we found another trashy store we hadn't been in so we checked it out just for fun. Total ~*~destiny~*~ because I found these boots which were exactly what I was looking for. (and for $20 too!!) I wanted leather-looking boots that were thin so they would be easier to stud. Last time I tried studded leather I got about 4 in and wanted to die. This time it was a lot easier, but my fingers still feel like they're bleeding on the inside. Suffer for fashion though, right? Take a look! I hope it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears.



The only downside is they have ZERO grip on the bottom. My friend Lana was telling me she took a pair of shoes into a shoemaker to get industrial grip put on the bottom. Might be worth it to get a little more wear out of these. I can just picture myself sliding around on the show covered ice that Winnipeg's ground turns into in the winter months. Not a good look.

Oh, and I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

~back 2 skewl~

I did a joint order from Studs & Spikes with a few friends (one being the talented Kylie of Nice and Shiny, can't wait to see what she does with her 1 inch spikes :P). Shipping was a little extreme but I ordered last Thursday and I got my box of goodies on Monday. Can't beat that! I ordered a shit load of studs so I'll probably end up studding half of my wardrobe, but here is my first project.
Loved these little cone studs and originally planned on putting them on the bottom of the bag a la Park & Cube but decided to go on the front flap.

My fingertips feel like they're bleeding but that's okay. Suffer for fashion, right? Also please ignore the logo on the front pocket. I was too lazy to seam rip it out when I bought it so I colored over it with a sharpie. Never got around to seam ripping it... I should probably do that...

Next two projects? THIS & THIS. On my way to Value Village now to look for a white shirt & denim jacket. My other DIY studded project is too amazing to share, but it'll be done by next weekend.
