I already have a pair in Giamaica and one in Plum incoming. I would prefer something in brown, preferably a dark shade (I'm fine with museum) as I've planned on this kind of make up for a while now (was initially going with Vass).

Bracken, #3 from left: http://cdn.styleforum.net/3/32/328ab4a1_MUSEUM.jpeg
Bolet in this picture: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0277/2511/products/DSC_9523_1024x1024.jpg?v=1411638432

My personal opinion is that Bracken and Bolet are to bright of this make up. So either dark brown museum or plum museum for me, depending how my incoming shoes in plum turns out.
Which one is to the right of Bracken, over top of it?

I'd be all over that.

@Leaves can EB do heavy stitching on their jumper boots, ala Frankenstitch?


Sorry, no. We actually had someone ask this before but it's a no go. They don't know how to replicate the actual stitch. They do have a U-wing boot, like the Carmina one, because we had someone request it as MTO, so they made up the pattern.

Thanks for the information. Will have to wait for when Carmina finds more shell for us then. All part of the fun :)

Did that u wing boot push through as an MTO or a GMTO? I imagine it wouldnt be too difficult to get 2 more folks to jump in on that make up as the Carmina U-Wing boot was a winner.

Im hoping in the future the can make a pattern for a split toe boot or a tanker boot.

They can make just about any pattern, it's just a matter of cost. We just learned this a few weeks ago. For a surcharge of about 2000 SEK (plus the normal MTO fee), they can make up almost any pattern as long as they know a the techniques involved for such a pattern (unlike the Frankensttich).

Will they be able to replicate the boar bristle split toe style of EG and G&G?
