'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!

'Strelizia' by Joan Sandford-Cook

Joan's monthly letter arrived this morning with, not one, but TWO beautiful postcards inside!
The theme of them both is very much dominated by her recent trip to Africa and remind me so much of the wonderful journal pages she made while she was there.

A gorgeous dose of sunshine to start my day...Thank you Joannie!
