Updated Commission Cloud Shoes WIP

I recently received a request to make a pair of cloud shoes for an Enchanted Doll.  I was excited to see the size of an Enchanted Doll foot and also to take on this challenge.  My dolls Cloud and Black Cloud come with a pair of shoes that resemble Vivian Westwood rocking horse shoes, but they have a traditional Japanese cloud as the sole.  I was surprised by how tiny Enchanted Doll's feet are! Needless to say, I had to sculpt an entirely new base and calculate the shrinkage rate for porcelain.  Through trial and error, I arrived at just the right size.  I am making steady progress and should be finished with them in a couple of days!

These tiny shoes are DONE! I ended up taking them apart and putting them back together a couple of times, I wanted them to be just right. I am feeling pretty good about how they turned out, however, the real test is to get them shipped out and see if they fit those tiny, regal, ED feet!
