Super bummed my link won't work 😞 Love the video though! I can imagine it's easy to get lost in this career and lose some of the impulsive creative excitement that started your passion, so I'm happy you're finding ways to just go off and do something that will make you (and your audience!) happy 😊

[@rashadmatthews8653]

Can you please make a monster high costume of your own character that you made by yourself

[@eliana9075]

Just to let you know there is someone commenting on this video, pretending to be you. They're trying to scam people into giving them money for "shipping" on a raffle win.

I love that you show the entire process, even the parts that don't work out. It shows that even if something doesn't work out along the way you can still make something fabulaous.

[@queenofhearts1278]

I love the purple ones with the matching black shoes 100% would wear these so beautiful

4:12 I can't explain why, but this moment when you decided to fix your sock was so cute and heart-warming 🥺

[@Emily-ue7fq]

I have the same socks and that made me so happy 😆

[@Nurse_Lucy]

If you ever try something like this again, try looking at the sculptable foam. I know cosplayers like kamui cosplay have used it before. You would probably be able to skip the silicon completely

[@claritey]

The only problem with sculptable foam is that it isn't very flexible so it would only work in areas where there isn't a lot of movement. Sculptable foam had some awesome uses though, I used it to cover my prosthetic leg to give it a more realistic shape.

[@venussky983]

@@claritey That is awesome!!!!

[@insanityganon1300]

I really like the orange/red shoes with the different colours! These look amazing! They look like they'd be so much fun to wear for a cosplay.

[@karens2936]

So cute! The purple ones would be so cute with an Ursula costume from The Little Mermaid.

[@cheese_s]

aghh! you're literally my inspiration and the reason why i found interest in making dresses!

[@alexandragatto]

The purple ones are ABSOLUTELY what Ursula's daughter would wear on Disney's Descendants, incredible.

[@vault7137]

You're so sweet & cheery! I love your enthusiasm and tenaciousness. Love both sets of shoes, but I'm leaning on the two toned orange/cream version. Shame about the strawberry socks.....they were cute too :)

[@pompe221]

It's incredibly frustrating when projects go upside-down-turtle so major kudos to you for persisting and ending up with TWO really cool pairs of octopus shoes! On another note, I love your strawberry socks. The one sock's "scar" doesn't affect how it wears so that's something.

[@bigbadjo6011]

I like the orange shoes just because they look cleaner. Regardless tho, this was a big project that turned out really really well in the end. I love the stuff you make and it’s awesome to see your projects come to life :)

[@arianagaider3348]

They have more contrast 😄

[@zannolin]

as a big purple fan I'm surprised by how much I love the orange! I voted for purple on instagram but the orange came out really fun and i love the contrast with the red. i think i might like the orange more but they're both SO fun! I think these and your belle shoes have been some of my favorite projects of yours over the last couple years :)

[@KingOfGaymes]

This is so cool and fun! I’d love to see more creative shoes done! Maybe making an actual pair of the monster high shoes? I think Galiope Jellington’s shoes would be really fun to make!

[@officialmargotdepearla9223]

I love monster high and your videos this is my favorite video you have made

[@genesisfrog]

the tentacles theme and the two different color schemes are definitely a Rose Lalonde moment (this is a compliment). They turned out fantastic!

[@Zulf85]

Username checks out lmao (that's a compliment too!)

[@jadeharley7190]

Omg ur so right though

[@poyitjdr]

I started to read the comments because I KNEW all us Homestucks would peep our heads out of the toblerone cave for this

[@nicolezarroc6261]

The purple has this deep water mystic vibe, while the orange/red has a more coral theme. I honestly can't decide which one is better!

[@yanyancayapan2975]

I love how she didn't give up and try and try again such an inspirational girl!. Also i love the end product. she's not just teaching and showing us the process but also she taught me not to give up and try again ❤️💕

[@Mothman_In_a_T-Pose]

I so want to recreate these for an Ursula cosplay, haha! They're absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your creativity and talent with us!!

[@R--L]

Wish I had that level of creativity and talent! Amazing work, Shay!!

[@dzud803]

if you ever wanna sculpt again for a project, I heavily suggest Milliput! It's a type of clay that, once it hardens, it'll be rock hard! You'll get two tubes of it, you have to mix these two different clays of Milliput together, two equal sized blobs, once they are molded together they should be one color instead of two colors, no streaks, spots, etc, then you can start using it! It's best for smaller objects though as once they're molded together it'll start hardening, it hardens in three to four hours, highly suggest this stuff, I use it a lot and it's really nice!

[@ninaflopped]

GIRL YOU WOULD BE SO GOOD AT MAKING COSPLAYS FOR CONVENTIONS

[@beamslinger]

This came out fantastic! I love how you have never been afraid to tackle any difficult project, really inspiring to watch you attempt new techniques and materials!

[@easilystartled2203]

It's lovely seeing the butterflies on your wall and made into earrings from your Hunger Games dress! P.S. Monarchs are at risk! If you have the opportunity to plant milkweed that is native to your region, do so! There's a company that if you mail them a self-addressed envelope with postage attached, they will send you back the appropriate seeds for your area at no additional cost.

[@Sandychmandy]

Wow you're talented! Incredible imagination and talent 😍

[@LunaUchihaUzumaki-gr6dy]

i always wanted to see how would monster high's heels would look like in real life! and you made it even better!!! 😍😍

[@ceilinh6004]

Those shoes look amazing! I'm glad you were able to make both pairs work. On another note, my child has developed a sudden desire for a silicone octopus. 🤣

[@sams1623]

Haha

[@veriartistic7101]

THEYRE GORGEOUS! I never thought you would do shoes but I'm so surprised!!

[@brizzleyoh]

I think I like the orange ones better just because the paint you used for the purple seemed to bring out the texture more in that pair.

[@ms_ch]

You are that person who did the frog dress&coat!!! THAT WAS ADORABLE AND IT INSPIRED ME SO MUCH!!! Really glad to see you still pursuing weird uncommon things

[@frooggyy9890]

[@holkazvesmir8656]

i love how she showed her messing up, its a nice reminder that everything doesnt have to go perfect on the first go but if we still try, we will get it done c:

[@bowtiefox]

Item idea: Shoes of the deep: While the octopus is part of the shoe you have a swim speed of 15ft and can breathe underwater or As an action you can detach the octopi from both shoes, they become familiars for one hour. If they die while not attached they are teleported back to the shoe and cannot be re-used until you finish a long rest

[@KHARMAL_AMNESIA]

The shoes would do amazing for an Ursula cosplay!

[@zai-star-simz3]

-I love the orange and red ones The purple is good too but I feel it contrasting with a lighter purple/blue or complementary color like the orange and red would also look nice⭐⭐⭐ ✨But anyway all the previous color designs were amazing I'd wish there was a collection✨

[@craigsaunders8000]

Reynolds is amazing and their staff is EXTREMELY helpful!!!

[@LaraCroftCP]

That are some of the MOST Aweresome Shoes i eher saw!!! Fantastic Work!

[@mjlSews]

So creative, I love the ingenuity of attaching the tentacles to tights, it looks seamless, like they are actually stuck to your leg. Personally I prefer the orange, which is not to say that the purple doesn't also look cool ^_^

[@LolyLiaPop]

i’m colorblind so i see mainly indifferent shades, i liked the orange ones more because the contrast makes it much easier for me to see but they are both adorable and i definitely need octopus shoes in my life now

[@BratzFan730]

You gotta make a matching outfit for these shoes so you can become a monster high character

[@anikawiggins4388]

i’d love to see more monster high inspired clothes!! i’m absolutely amazed by your creativity 🤩

[@jeniferalvarez2914]

I thought I’d like the purple most, but I love the tan and red most! These shoes were such a creative idea! I love it! I love doing projects that I know I’ll learn from and that’s what you did here! I’m sure you learned so much and they came out so cute! ❤️

[@cosima9586]

My niece is extra obsessed with monster High. She loved them when she was younger, she is in H.S now and when they brought back the dolls thats all she could talk about.

[@Analysta654]

[@ourdylnouhaila8287]

I can tell you worked relly hard on this projet this is real talent gurll

[@kitchencat1816]

Orange all the way! Love how it goes from orange to red!

[@ebeth5891]

I would not have expected it, but I like the orange ones better! It’s easier to tell it’s an octopus than just a heavy dark purple shoe

[@wasteofabraincell4639]

I love the purple! The red/orange is very cool but I feel like it clashes with the black and would’ve looked better with white or a warmer colour to fit the coral vibe

[@RubeusRuby]

Thank you thank you, I always monster high shoes when I was younger and realized they didn't exist. This is amazing

[@simply_unnamed]

Can we talk about how cute her outfits are!

[@pamayapaya]

Can’t lie I love the orange/peach and red ones!!! The contrast is just so pretty

[@shivangishivangi4267]

Wow! Those heels are amazing 🤩

[@audr3ylyy]

Get inspiration for a monster high outfit from the monster high shriek wrecked doll line, its pirate themed and your shoes would really match perfectly. I really love your videos!!!

[@urbeautiful3800]

DUDDE SHE SAYS IT IS NOT PERFECT BUT IN THE FOLLOWERS POINT OF VIEW IS BEAUTIFUL 🤩

[@rosetintmyworld3725]

These are super cool! But I really like the paintjob more on the orange octopus, the color blending of red and orange makes them feel more expensive compared to the plain-purple and black look

[@cameronmckenzie9047]

And the shoes are so cute!!! Even I want those! 😍💗 and I like both colors

[@AlastorAltruist11924]

I’m obsessed!!! I would love to see more monster high inspired looks! They are so unique

[@astridmyst]

I was so curious how you would do this! Just wow!!! SO COOL! The purple ones are my dream shoes!

[@liveforlivi]

I personally like the orange better! I got in to my head that the purple ones kind of blended into the shoes! Great job!!!

[@cowgirlqueen6447]

I LOVED the orange one more because where it goes from Orange to red it kinda looks like fire to me, but when I asked my family they said purple

[@maggiepie8810]

The fact that people like you are out there, with insane projects like this, made my day! 😃

[@AlexiaSmith]

Wow these look so incredible. I liked the purple more but yeah I’m highly impressed

[@felix-xd4mx]

oh my God so much work!! i appreciate people who work with these crafts so much, ppl in vfx, cosplay, etc. truly amazing

[@Laughingwithtravii]

omg so cute, i liked them both about the same honestly. the purples i feel like i would wear more, but i also appreciate the warm colors of the other, and i really like the gradient/combo colors. makes me wonder what purple/teal would have looked like. this was super awesome, thank you!!!

[@electriclllady]

Oh my gosh- thanks to you I know if I ever wanted to make anything with silicone, I'd research it to the ends of the earth before I began! I didn't even know there are like a zillion different kinds - but of course there are! You live, you learn hehe I'm Sure the other mould would be usable for something - like a bag, or a dress, or head something ohh or arm band etc! Xxxx So much work, but each thing you do you get better at it and have more knowledge for the next thing! That's so interesting the painting the layers of silicone on to make the mould - it worked super well!!! I was thinking that if you laid it flat to do that it wouldn't work but it's amazing! And ingenuous, INGENIOUS with the attaching it on to the tights! I never would have thought of that in a million years! I wouldn't have thought tights would be strong enough ! It looks SO GOOD 💖💗💕🐙🐙 I Actually love the peach/red octopus, the tips of different colour give the illusion of movement and grip and that it's gripping on and holding on and wrapping itself around your leg, and pulling you towards itself!!!! The purple is super cute too- now you can have a choice for dress up or cosplay purposes which you want to wear based on the colour!!!! Love xxxxx

[@StrawberrESwirl]

You should totally make a babydoll style dress with an octopus theme to go with the shoes! Maybe the sleeves could resemble an octopus as well? (I’m no seamstress but I think it would look super cool, especially with the shoes!)

[@segapop469]

Those shoes are so cool!! Tbh I think I like the orange ones more, something about them just speaks to me

I love how u challenge urself even more and more by each vid!! ^^ it’s amazing to watch how ur skills grow! Btw I love both of them equally but purple always the way togo for me ☺️

Your amazing! This is amazing I’m super proud Of you!!!

[@tenebae1999]

i personally like the orange ones better cause they're very summer colored and could go with a little flowery spring/summer look, but i would pain the shoe itself the same orange as the octopus to do that :)

[@saturnobowery3953]

These are amazing!! The g3 Lagoona Blue from Skulltimate Secrets collection actually has some octopus sandals!! So these are waaaay awesome!!

[@aster11111]

I love both of those so much, they're both amazing, but if i had to pick, i'd pick the orange/red ones, they're very expressive and just pretty to look at, but as you said the purple ones have a more Ursula vibe to them, overall, these were amazing! Keep up the great work!
