Inspiration Avenue - High Heels
Linking this post back to Inspiration Avenue. For this week's topic I drew one half of my one and only pair of heels. My little black Christmas-party-and-occasional-wedding heels. Whenever I wear them, by the end of the night I'm tottering around like a Thunderbirds puppet. But I spent my teenage years in stompy biker boots, so never really got in that necessary early conditioning. Plus my career has been working as an artist in video games, and the dress code has always been pretty casual. I remember I told a friend once that I went for an interview in a denim skirt and flat shoes and she looked mortified.
I added a black swan to the picture for that little bit of elegance, because black heels should be elegant! Just not when they're worn by me!

DeleteLove this thanks for playing this week. I never got to wear High heels either and still can't. Love seeing them though. Love your black and red!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Shel!
DeleteI love how you illustrated the high heel and black swan together. It really adds to the elegant theme, and the rich red behind it is gorgeous! I also enjoyed the humor you brought to this post =)
ReplyDeleteThank Abigail! I'm happy you like it :)
Deletelol, I know what you mean. I have 2 pairs and they sit in my closet looking pretty. If I wear them it is 5 min max, then I'm barefoot again :) Love the swan's details, you are a true talent!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Wilme! Hehe, yep I carry flats around in my bag whenever I attempt to wear those heels now.. - normally about 5 minutes for me too :)
