If The Shoe Fits...Shoes are very important to people. They are a symbolic necessary accessory that separates man from animal. Historically, shoes are a fascinating subject. In general, they are just fun to look at, talk about, and own.
Today I am taking you to my Etsy Treasury where "If The Shoe Fits...buy it on Etsy. " I was impressed with the multitude of shoe buying options on Etsy. Everything from doll shoes to black spiked mary janes with a lot of jewelry, photography, fine art, housewares and even mosaics in the marvelous mix of buying options.
It was very difficult to select just 16 items, but that is what treasuries are made of, 16 wonderful items that delight the eye and make you want to open your wallet! Have fun shopping and remember!...

To me Etsy treasuries should always have a theme song. All I could come up with today was this classic Nancy Sinatra YouTube of "These boots are made for Walking." The silly photo above was taken 44 years ago when everyone was wearing vinyl. Marvyn and I had rented an apartment for our senior year. It was an old victorian house. The rent was only $105.00 per month! We were the first Douglass College girls to live off campus. It was a big deal way back then! I had black vinyl boots and white vinyl boots and rain gear to match...after all..it was when Pop Art and Op Art ruled the art world! Yes, the newspaper photo was shot in our black and white bathroom! Wonder whatever happened to those boots? Sure was fun!
Thanks for including my one-of-a-kind mosaic, "If the Shoe Fits," in this wonderful treasury. I agree that it's difficult to create a really good treasury with a clever theme and strong visual appeal. When well don (as this one certainly is!), a great treasury is a work of art in itself! It is truly an honor to be included with other wonderful artists!
I love doing mosaics, and this piece was the first in a series of mosaics I'm doing using vintage shoe lasts (the wooden forms around which leather shoes are formed) as the base. Yesterday I finished number 5 in the series, and since I'm addicted, I'm sure there will be more. Still, "If the Shoe Fits" is my favorite. The color, the texture, the dimension work together to make a piece that's reveals something different each time you take a look. I'm pleased to say I just received word that it was awarded honorable mention in a juried exhibition of the Best of Missouri Hands annual exhibition.
