Shoe Grounted

18 years ago

Well...I just went for it, and the pearls made it just fine. I grouted with a wet grout and a real wet sponge.

I sealed it with a high gloss grout sealer, because the grout was so dull. Anyway..Don't be afraid of pearls!

I have used them twice, and if you are really gentle

with the grouting they will survive!

    Now that's something to crow about, but then nothing you make is ever fowl! Grouting was an eggxellent choice!

    Ok. I'll admit I was wrong about not grouting. That turned out sooooo neat!

    Wow that did turn out great. It really made a difference grouting it. I didnt realize it could look that much better after grouting cuz it looked so good ungrouted!!!!

    Gosh that makes me think of a Cinderella slipper, it's just soooo nice. The grout turned it into a real piece of art.

    Love the shoe but I admire all your work. Everything is always perfect.

    Geeze - those are awesome ! I Still haven't finished my mannekin because of the pearls ( and the sharp glass edges.) Maybe I'll do that - use really watery grout. I Was doing just the opposite - using the grout dry and pushing it in between the glass. Thanks for showing us ... there's hope for pearls yet !
