Three Muses Challenge..Shoes..

I had a thing for shoes when I was younger and had loads,

I always included a red pair. AlasI can no longer wear my high heels

so they all had to go.

I've put a different take on the theme this week.

This is a fabulous piece, June!; 24 November 2010 at 00:16
Eila A said...: June, you certainly have found an image which made me think. We really don't have equal opportunities in this world. Although I feel sorry for the poor woman, at the same time I can only admire her creativity.; 24 November 2010 at 00:24
Pauliina said...: Wow, what an image and what a pair of shoes...

Taluula said...: Oh wow, June, it took me a moment to realize those shoes started life as bottles, now that is recycling at its best. Thank you for reminding me of how lucky I am.; 24 November 2010 at 04:42

Deann said...: Amen to this Junie...it is good to stop and consider those of us who have no shoes...Thank you for a beautiful and touching reminder of my blessings. You're the best!!!
You know this reminds me of a little quote my Grandma had on her wall "I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet." Gratitude is a very good thing I'm thinking.; 24 November 2010 at 06:13

Bill said...: I kept looking at them, and couldn't figure out what they were. I'm so glad Taluula figured it out. That picture makes such a big statement. Wonderful work!; 24 November 2010 at 09:36

bluegiraffe (Sherry) said...: This is an inspired collage, June. It took me a moment to see what the shoes were made of. So sad, and you're right, it does put things in perspective for those of us who are more fortunate.; 24 November 2010 at 13:34
Marfi-topia said...: great image June, makes you stop and think.; 24 November 2010 at 21:09
Ozstuff said...: June, I think you have made us all stop and think with your beautiful shoe picture. We all have so much stuff compared with the poor people of the world. This lady has made her shoes from plastic bottles and rags but they still have a certain elegance.

Wonderful and thoughtful artwork.; 25 November 2010 at 00:39
Faye said...: June, one thing I get from blogging is the education. I have never seen "shoes" like those in the picture and would never have had the imagination to construct shoes like that. I appreciate your ability to take something so humble and to make such a gorgeous picture from it. This looks like a poster for aid to a third world country or something.; 25 November 2010 at 06:37
Netty said...: Highly original and so inspiring June. Annette x; 25 November 2010 at 09:00
