Shoetique: Thinking Outside the Box

What do you you see (function wise) when you look at this object? Seriously. Give it a minute and think about it.

 

Even though its intended purpose is a pencil cup, I see a pedestal. Or a table. Or a table base. Or a large lighted fixture.

 

I was immediately taken with the clean, simple lines and frosted glass look finish. I can use it unaltered as seen in 'Shoetique', insert scrapbook paper or photos (as seen here), put in a battery operated tea light candle or miniature lights for illumination, etc. And the list goes on.

 

Re-training your brain is not hard. All you have to do is look at things for their shape and size rather than their function, and soon, a whole new world of possibility will begin to open up to you.
