[private_archives]There is something about shoes that I find endearing which might seem odd since I don’t like to wear them; I don’t like to buy them; I kinda don’t like shoes as an article of clothing at all. However, shoes-as-art make my heart race just a little. Shoes carry our bodies – our bodies carry our creative spirit; vessels within a vessel, moving us along this fascinating journey. THIS I can relate to. More daMuse posts about shoe-art here.
Swan also crafts more traditional vessels – I was particularly drawn to the spoons made from twigs and porcelain. More here.
