- See how, with the shoe on the left, three curls of lavender “pearls” (and the start of a fourth) work together to form a swoop from toe to top of the shoe
- See also how the next design move was the darker purple pearlsworven within the lavender, following and emphasizing the swoops.
- Everything else is fill patterns
The rear portion of all the boots have a particular pattern application, with pearls curling over a background of a plaid integrating all 12 colors comprising this design. Yes, each boot has 12 colors, each color playing a position like an instrument in an orchestra.
This shoe, called “Klimt” departs a little from the design principles coming before it, having a lighter, more open tracery effect. I think it has too many colors.
This pair was a commission, to pull the colors from this painting by Gustav Klimt
Here are the 12 colors I extracted from the Klimt painting, labeled in the little cups, and everything registered on the color cards so I will know later exactly what I did.
Twelve colors, just like the one before and the one that comes next…but it’s all in how they play together…
PUT SMALL ONES AT THE ENDS THE TEXT LINE (on both sides, of course)
