It's one of my favourite times again - Shlog time, as I get to talk about what make Milly J's Shoe Designs tick!

So once again... welcome.

It is important to mention firstly that Milly J has updated one of the most believed policies to the business:

Milly J never compromises class, execution, detail, playfulness and quality for a cheap price that may sell quickly. Milly J's Shoes believes in living the art through unanticipated creativity.

It is so important to believe in the value of your product, especially if you sell and make it yourself. When looking through other arts shops and boutiques, you often notice the amount of competition means that people are vying for the spotlight through sales. This is often created by low pricing. However, pricing is so important. Milly J's stock is always well presented, executed, created and packaged, and so my price must refelct my market and beliefs.

If you don't price correctly, you wont reach your target market and therefore resulting in less sales.

Just chill, take a deep breath and think about your pricing properly to ho it reflects your personal factors.

Oh, before I forget... have you viewed the wonderful new shoes? As promised, I am going to tell you a little about them.

This shoe was my first attempt at using the art of quilling for sculptural purposes. Often quilling is used as a flat surface, as a picture. Though I knew that there were so many opportunities to create something that was fragile in the sense of paper strips though robust in its formation. I wanted to enfuse paper with glass and fabric, to give a sense of the elements. From water to wood to earth. So please enjoy this sculpture with a sense of fun and perhaps see paper in another light.

I take great enjoyment in creating all my designs. Though this sculpture was so much fun, as it took me swiftly back to my childhood. Snacking on Liquorice Allsorts whilst visiting my Grandma's.

I was thrilled to create handmade clay sweets that I would topple precariously on top of each other.

One of my oldest friends whom I went to boarding school with relished herself in these fun sweets. In our dormitory she would sit on her bed and hold onto every last one as if I was eyeing them up. She later told me that when she was at Uni, she was dieting and knew she had to have a certain number of colories. She knew exactly how many calories where in each allsort. So what did she do? You guessed it.

So this shoe has been dedictaed to my kooky friend Haley!
