APR: Series

I have no time to create anything new this week, but if you come back either Friday or Saturday, you will see what has kept me so busy in the studio. Hopefully I'll be finished by Friday, but the absolute deadline is Saturday, August 4.

Jenn's Artist Play Room at Just Add Water, Silly is asking us to show a series. Now I bet many of you are thinking I'm going to show rocking horses, but that series has been shown before on my blog, on Seth Apter's blog, and on Inspiration Avenue's blog.


So today I dug out a collage I made in 2008 (since some of you are newer visitors) which I subsequently gave away. Now I realize shoes, unlike rocking horses, quickly go out of style and favor (unless you are wearing Princess style Reebok tennis shoes whose style has remained unchanged for over 15 years and I wear exclusively), but I thought you might enjoy seeing the shoe style way back in the good old bygone days of 2008! I call it Shoe Fetish and copied it from my blog. Here is part of what I wrote about the piece:

I was surprised at the wide variety of shoe styles this year. Usually, the heels are either big and clunky, or skinny and spiked, but not in the same year. (By the way, I'll take my Reebok Princess style tennis shoes any day!)

Unfortunately, when I copied the image to this post, it was quite small in this size,


and HUGE when I copied it in this size. At least you can see all the details of these shoes, all of which I cut from various magazines popular in 2008. The background contains various book pages cut to size. Come to think of it, this could be a series on shoes and a series on book pages! Please visit APR for other Series entries.
