Candy Floss Slippers


There's a story to go with this. I am sure it has something to do with the people of Ooggley Baloobley, but I can't be sure since I haven't written it yet. I think it might refer to the way they design their footwear. They put cartridge paper outside their back doors at night to collect the custard and jelly drips. In the morning they venture out to see what patterns have formed. It's then a simple matter of looking for designs in the splotches and splatters. Of course, it helps if you're an Ooglie because they are shape shifters so frankly can fit any mis-shapen shoe - even the one that looks like a vodka martini. Lucky them!

If you think I've lost my marbles, then perhaps you should refer back to Monday's post and look for them there, for this art follows a similar theme.

Alternatively, you can just blame The Three Muses and their 'shoe' challenge.

  7. I love how stretched your imagination is with your art and your story telling. Reminds me of something I would do as a kid. Sadly I've let that go, but I'm so glad to see someone not only held onto it but shares it with the rest of us who have forgotten.

  18. I love the ink work sketch that is a little more refined and then the looser colors over the top of it. Really nice combination. I also love your tag line "A girl with a pen and a paintbrush" Nice.

  19. That's right, blame the Muses. We can take it!! In fact, we can take more of your flights of fancy, Wrightstuff. You keep us guessing with your beautiful art and your writing. What would we ever do without you?

    Great work.
