I tackled the "high heels" prompt, and it was quite an adventure, let me tell you. I do not do realistic. I did not even wanna attempt to draw a pair of high heels or print out a picture... It just did not feel right or in line with my aesthetic, but that doesn't have to stop you from it being what inspires you for the page.

Instead of focusing on the typical imagery of high heels, I let my mind wander and found inspiration in the unexpected - the idea of high heels sinking into grass. This led me to create a mixed media piece with collage, stitching, and playful French knots to emulate the effect of heels on grass. It was so much fun and it felt true to my own artistic style. I used a silk thread that's been sitting in my stash for ages, and had fun just thinking outside of the box to bring this spread together!
