The Rescued Shoe

Child's shoe found in wall of 1902 house in Maine... quarter at right for scale. When I was visiting my sister’s 1902 house in Maine last week, they showed me a child’s shoe that had been found in a wall they were taking down between the kitchen and the living room. I love these kinds of hidden treasures and wonder how it got there. I drew the shoe right before my nephew’s land shark hamster, Obi-wan Kenobi, bit me. The shoe, not the hamster, is my contribution to Illustration Friday’s theme, Rescue. Maybe I should have been rescued from the hamster.

  1. What a thrill to find a hidden shoe! What walking stories it could tell! Was there no little `message`inside the shoe?
