Warm Winter Booties
Warm Fleece Booties, originally uploaded by Cathy (Kate) Johnson.
I LOVE these! When I saw in the FootSmart catalog that they were supposed to be indoor/outdoor slippers, I thought oh, riiiiight. But WOW. I've worn them in the rain and in the snow, and so far I'm warm and they're DRY.
AND cute, I might add. Love them! I'm glad I got them in both gray and navy blue...the gray ones stay lots cleaner looking, because the navy collects lint and cat hair (and Kate hair!) like fleece just does, and it SHOWS. Pretty much invisible on the gray...
And did I mention they're WARM??
Last night sketching them at bedtime was my art for the day--this morning I added the mostly wet-in-wet watercolor, using Cadmium Yellow, Quinacridone Red. and Ultramarine, and varied the mix as I painted...nice color-filled neutral! (I added Payne's Gray to the mix for the dark rubber sole, and blotted it for variation.)
The texture of the paper and the Prismacolor Dark Indigo colored pencil worked well to suggest the fleece...
Fun!
