EDM 258 - Draw the inside of your closet

Artist journal drawing of the inside of my closetThis shelving unit is in the back of my closet, I think of it as the island of misfit clothes and vacation items.

The top has a couple of swim suits that were last used at the gym pool about (cough) months ago.

The cubbies also have various containers for travel use
* unworn belts that don't merit a more prominent location
* sandals that I bought on vacation and discovered that they can not be worn without getting blisters and I can't bear to toss since they were $95
* an amazingly comfy and cute pair of aqua sandals
* red espadrilles
* spring green sandals that always get complements
* more aqua blue shoes
* some overpriced water/hiking shoes that you can supposedly hike in and wear in the water. They dry slowly, give you blisters when wet, and collect little rocks and sand as though they were saving it for a memory jar. I keep hoping if I wear them around the house they will magically become comfortable.

  5. What a nice closet! I like how your things are placed in these cells, and finding "old" treasures is probably a really fun thing to do too, definitely would bring back the old memories.

  7. Well done! Personally I don't even have a closet, I would love to have a place like this to hide things in... :)

  8. We don't have closets in the UK - personally I think this is a good thing - far too much space to 'hide' things in! nice drawing and i like the annotations too.

  12. Oh, don't you know I've done that...bought shoes for way too much, only to have them be too uncomfortable to wear!! Love your interpretation of the challenge!
