Qing - for High Heel feet - clear resin  (contact me for OOAK shoes)
Platform sandal inspired by Qing Dynasty lacquer furniture, revival from 2013. Meant as a base for making complete shoes by adding insoles, straps, etc.
 
I resurrected some high heels from long long ago. I created the "Chinese Lacquer" (now named Qing) landscape heels for Inamorata Inro (LE40) on and Aimant (OOAK) back in 2013. I tweaked the sculpt to fit the slightly higher arch on current Inamorata dolls, but kept the imperfections and charm of the clearly hand sculpted detail. They are inspired by Chinese antique lacquer furniture of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). When I was still in university in Finland, I had a part time job managing an art and antiques gallery full of Qing dynasty treasures. I fell in love with the gold painted landscapes of the vibrant red or black cabinet doors. 
 
*Some photos are of a hand sculpted prototype  and of examples of different shoes I have made. These are presented for inspiration only. The basic item is unpainted clear resin. Please contact me via emiliacouture@gmail.com for a quote if you want to commission OOAK shoes.
 
*Leaf gold/silver/alloy treatment costs extra and is much more fragile than painted metallic effects. Note that the glue used in leaf gilding techniques is not meant to be handled and can rub off over time. It is better for careful display rather than photoshoots and posing.
