MushroomMind Shoes & Tree Theme

I asked an angelic rheingoldian patron what he wanted on a pair of shoes and he said something about mushroom mind. The  other shoe is about rational, self-reflecting, mind. The tree theme is something I've returned to over the years -- the above and below, alchemically sustaining life by drawing from the sun, the air, and the earth. I've had a thing about the shape of trees for some time.

After I finished the mushroom mind shoes, a contributing member of 'pataphysical studios reminded me that it's her turn. The tree wanted to be bigger, without a head to grow out of, but it had to be simplified to fit. The other shoe is a lotus, like the ones I did on a Hawaiian-Buddhist theme. .
