'Joannie' by Anita Davies
In a comment to a previous post here, Joan threw a proper hissy fit demanding her very own shoe design.
I love a woman with attitude...So, here it is!
I chose shades of green and aqua, colours I know Joan often wears.
It stands upon a tiled floor because Joan often puts them in her paintings of bars and churches.
It is feminine yet sensible in heel size, a MUST for such an active lady.
It was designed to resemble a shoe in a fairy tale; a glass slipper because Joan is a woman to admire, she is not afraid to work hard and her kindness and support for others remind me of Snow White and Cinderella. In my mind she is a real fairytale Princess.
Lastly, Joan is famous for texture in her paintings, so I just had to add a few sequins and beads, a little sparkle to match the one she brings with her into every room.
I hope you like them Joannie!

These sassy shoe sketches have been such fun -
How cool is that--A shoe designed just for Joan! She's one lucky woman.
BTW- I just mailed my postcard to you today--hope it doesn't take forever get there.
ohhhhhh Anita! My first thought upon seeing this shoe was that it looked like Cinderella's slipper.. then I read your comments and it just so fits!! (no pun intended...;) I hope MY postcard is getting closer to you day by day.....lovely work! deni..;)
Joanie can be really stylish with this one! Beautiful colors in this!! She will love it! Just a heads up - my card is on the way to you.
My very special stylish 'glass slipper' arrived in the post today. What a pal to have and thanks for the added beads... What can I say about your comments and inspiration for the design. I am embarrased at such glowing terms - I wish I could live up to them. Didn't expect you to post both my cards - I had felt the strelizia (by the way also known as The Bird of Paradise flower) was too busy but it scans up well and I needed to practice more figures.
Thanx Sandy.
Bec, it arrived today!
