See more wedding styles here. Each
sandal is designed by first selecting bead colors that go good together. Then
they are laid out in a pattern on a bead mat, making sure there are adequate spacers
to help accentuate the bead colors. Usually, it is decided ahead of time whether
to use gold or silver accent beads. Right now, silver is very popular. Real sterling
silver is not used because it is far too expensive. For
the most part, Czech glass beads are used that have been formed into a variety
of shapes, pressed, faceted, bicones, rondelles, etc., along with spacers that
are either pewter or metalized plastic. Once
a few "patterns" of beads are completed, the design is evaluated and
if it is not acceptable, the whole design is taken apart and started over. The
sandals are all handmade and labor intensive. They are made in Small, Medium, and large sizes, and those sizes are
standardized so exactly the same amount of cord is used each time. The
stringing material is called "Stretch Magic" and it is a strong size,
.7mm. It is strong enough to handle repeated, gentle stretching, yet small enough
to fit through the hole of the beads. The
medallion in the middle is a button.
