| vectorial tracing the foot and leg embellishments |
I scanned those duct tape scribbles and traced them in Freehand, adapting pieces of the already traced foot and leg embellishment, based on the illustration.

| (sort of) testing it over the shoe |
I printed one copy, in large format, to test it on the shoe. I cut it with scissors, and tried it on the shoe. It doesn't exactly match the artwork, but the shoe shape is very different. It still looks cool, so I'll go ahead with it.

| EVA foam cut swirls |
I temporarily glued it with glue stick to a 2mm black EVA foam sheet, and traced it with an awl. I used an awl because the line is very thin and I don't have any good enough light coloured pen to do it. I chose black foam, because the modelling clay I've got is also black. I unglued it, mirrored it and traced only the foot part to more EVA foam, for the right foot.
+ Tracing the shapes was puzzle solving, it involved a lot of reshaping, copying and adapting.
- I can't really test it properly, I can't be very perfectionist with this, but as the shoe shape is so different, basically anything goes.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Glue wire to make the shapes adaptable to the legs and make them stay vertical.
