...than to begin meticulous labor-intensive unimportant self-centered projects when I have so much else to do!!! But I can not deny the call of the wild, so here I go again. This project is pretty heavily influenced by a pair of studded Preen trousers that I encountered online, and the idea was further solidified by seeing the detail shot of a pair of Givenchy leggings from FW10. I've had a bag fully of the tiniest pyramid studs, but haven't had anything to stick them into. I decided on spray painting them black because A) I love torturing myself with tedious prep work and B) enjoy the subtlety of their texture against black leather. I'm hoping to be done in the next day or two!
The inspirations
The original color of the studs. Don't you keep your hardware in wine glasses too?
My solution for spray painting the studs. Yes, they are individually pushed into a piece of cardboard. Probably the most annoying part of the process yet completely unavoidable.
One leg done, one left to go.

YOU'LL MAKE A GREAT PAIR
LOVER TO SEE THEM COMPLETE!
Mmmm I understand all too well X)
The same masochistic urges infect me on a regular basis
But it's like, if you don't act upon those sudden creative impulses you feel incomplete or unaccomplished no matter how successful you are at what you know you should be doing, right?
I guess this nagging feeling is the burden of being a creature of creation.
I can't wait to see the final product :D
This project is amazing...totally badass! Love your blog!...love your curly hair (I'm a curly head too!), love your style...stop by sometime...

I'm right there in the same boat. I've been dotting a diagonal grid of silver rounds on a black jacket and I just got 300 tiny rounds and pyramids and want to do an all over grid on something too.
How long could it possibly take to put 200 tiny studs (with 400 tiny prongs) on something?
our human nature is to experiment...we are curious by nature. when I look at something like the pyramids, listening to beethoven's 9th, or some 18th century brussels hand made lace measuring 6 meters and 2 meters wide...do I say to myself..."what a "WASTE" of time"...NO WAY!! I admire your persistence and love affair with fashion....keep on enjoying and getting paid for what you love to do!! my 2 cents, lis von bayern
Wow, you actually have the time to diy your jeans. Nevertheless, i bet it'll be worth it!
