Shoes II

I added onto the series of 'flat' shoes I started (post here) to make a nice even set of ten 'flat' shoes. Here are the three new additions:

Rachel Antonoff by Bass - Matilda

Marais USA - Woven Sandal

Doc Martens x Liberty London - 1460 Strawberry Thief 

Print set of all ten 'flat' shoes available here.

And with that, there is now a full set of 20 shoes  :]

Tears

Fairly straightfoward – I was thinking about how shiny tears are, like little glistening jewels running down your face... something magpies would love to pick up as their own cold little treasures.

I have an accompanying idea or two for this one that will appear in the future  :]

11 x 14" watercolor paper.

Acrylic + graphite.

Shoes

So I'll be the first to admit, I love shoes. You can probably diagnose me as a shoe addict.

Most of my life I've worn 'flat' shoes, but recently I've taken to tottering about in heels. The higher, the better... but not for my feet. I was introduced to a whole new world of pain that is known as Wearing Heels for an Extended Amount of Walking.

And apparently, I'm not exactly alone in this opinion, based on this amusing post from Extra Petite's blog... from the perspective of a boyfriend: read here

As a matter of fact, wearing heels constantly for an extended amount of time can cause damage.

I'm also a very stubborn person, so I'm not going to give up entirely on wearing heels – I do have my tiny collection now, after all – but I went back to exploring my options of shoes with a flat sole.

Here are the ones I found myself bookmarking and checking back on:

Jeffrey Campbell - Hampton

Doc Martens - 1460 Victorian Flowers

Matiko - Lilo

minimarket - Flat Lace-Up Cutout

Jeffrey Campbell - Elegant Velvet

I was a bit sad when these were no longer available in my size.

Won Hundred - Graham

UNIF - Hellraiser

Even though black/silver is probably the most practical/versatile, I do like the wine/silver version.

All 5 x 4"
Acrylic + graphite.

Available as a set here
