Fish Shoes

 I really couldn’t find any pictures of shoes…so I wondered what else you could wear on your feet…

And the obvious first answer was FISH…

SHOES -- Warhol elevated the art of advertising footwear


Before he was a global icon, Andy Warhol began his carer in 1950s New York City as a commercial artist and illustrator. His intricately drawn shoes for I. Miller were sometimes accompanied by playful hand-lettered captions.

THEME: Shoes

I heard that fab 1960s hit by Nancy Sinatra -- "These boots are made for walking ... " and thought it was time for a theme I think we've had before FOOTWEAR. Have fun letting your creativity "run away"!

My Favorite Thing to Eat -- Daily 3 pm coffee and cookie break


 I always learn something new making collages for our challenges. So, in this case I found my favorite cookie (chocolate chip) and a nice steaming cup of coffee. But how to present? I used an early Greek sculpture and noticed the rod sticking out of her head -- perfect for representing thoughts of that cookie! Here is what I found on the internet about "basket carriers" in ancient Greece:

Canephorae were young, unmarried women in ancient Greece who carried baskets of sacred objects on their heads during religious festivals. The word canephorae comes from the Greek word kanēphoroi, which means "basket carriers".

P.S. Her expression is described as a smile revealing her bliss and that is exactly how I feel when I am eating my favorite thing.
