This is a size 6, three-inch platform shoe, upcycled of course into a new life. This little shoe has worked hard- there are still some scuff marks from its former life. I removed the top of the shoe, sanded it, drilled holes for drainage, and then planted it with sharp, spiny cactus (ferocactus).


The cactus plant will need very bright light and just a little water from time to time. In return, it'll repay you with a stark reminder of how hard it is to...well, to be a woman.

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels. ~Faith Whittlesey
